If everything were easy, there would be no resistance and with… Read more »

Washers and Dryers…

You know, the new ones with the pedestals…just a metal box, maybe with a drawer, for at least $200 more…each. Designed so you don’t have to bend over. The day you start making decisions upon moving less is the day you start aging a little more. PS. That also goes with parking spaces folks. Yours… Read more »

A recipient is a…

Person that receives something. And we are all recipients, every day, in every way.

Now when I exercise, I am able to push just a… Read more »

Interpretation. In science, it’s called “pain perception”. When the pain receptor (nocirecptor nerve ending) is stimulated, nerve impulses go up and down our spine in the lateral spinothalamic tract, to and from the brain, allowing us to respond or react to the stimulus. So it’s not the pain we feel, it’s the information transmitted and… Read more »

Are you an Artist?

Maybe…maybe not. Either way, you are the one who paints the picture of yourself, not someone else. And I don’t believe we should paint a small picture of ourselves…why should we? Reality dictates we can become as big as our dreams, so paint BIG. – Dr. Vik, The Culture King

Will you be inducted…

Into the “Hall of Fame”, “Hall of Blame”, or “Hall of Shame”? Only you know. But what we all know is that we are living our legacy of what we will be remembered by, each and every day. We can say we are this or that, but it’s what we do on a daily basis… Read more »
