Isn’t there a saying – “nobody gets respect in their own town”? Well – sometimes it does help to get an outsider’s perspective. I loved […]

Needed Now – Advocacy for Your Best Interests
There is a fight ahead for us and advocacy is needed in your best interests. I didn’t fully appreciate that I was living in a time of liberal thinking that could all be taken away so easily and systematically.

5 Ways To Make Positive Intentions Work

The book, The Power of Positive Thinking, the classic by Norman Vincent Peale, published in 1952, generated a new wave of thought in psychology and management. From it, we learned that positive thoughts are more likely to generate positive results. Since then, countless books and […]
For Those Who Are Longing – There Is No Place Love Cannot Find You
For those longing for something – consider this: At Jazz Fest, one of the singers, Erika Falls, kept saying; “There is no place love cannot find you.” It made me think. It’s something you would say to someone in a dark place of longing, who is alone, hurt, and closed off to possibility. It is like […]
