Moving Through Life’s Phases

Life Has A Track List When you're making plans to move on to the next phase of life, or when you are close to a goal that you've set for yourself, Murphy's law is in full effect -- anything that can go wrong, will go wrong (or so it seems).  The people in your life

4 Reasons Why “They” Don’t Know What They’re Talking About

Experts And Professors of Nothing When it comes to things that other people are dealing with, we're all experts.  It's very easy to analyze and diagnose other peoples problems from the outside, because it seems that we have a view of the bigger picture that the person going through it cannot see, which is not

Knowing Your Worth: Define Yourself

You Are Priceless Lately, a couple of my friends have been talking about this guy that we all know (or at least, know of).  He's the type of person who is all ego -- no substance.  I doubt if anyone really knows who he really is.  He's so obsessed with what he has that the

Finding A Groove That You Can Dance To I was playing around with my youngest son, Chris this evening, and I asked him to help me come up with a topic to  write about.  As we began tossing ideas around, a conversation commenced that went like this: Chris: What's going on with you right now?

Putting Life In Perspective For the past several weeks, I've been fasting every Monday and Tuesday.  Not only do I fast food, but I also abstain from social media.

Taking Your Confidence Back

Forgetting About What "They" Said *Repost* How many of you have had a dream of something that you've always wanted to do, or become, but the words and perceptions of others deterred you?

Don’t Be Afraid To Say No

Take Care of #1 Those who have spent enough time around me have likely heard me state the phrase, "So.  They won't die from that", or, "They won't die from madness, disappointment, etc".  Anyone who has heard me make that statement most likely heard it during a conversation about someone having to say "NO" to
