How Big is Your World?

It’s most likely a lot bigger than when we were born. We’re not talking the real world, but “Your world”. Remember back when you were a small child – your entire world was your bedroom – the place where we all slept, played and had dreams of what we wanted to become. As we grew… Read more »

My Dad called me…

Last week and he said he figured it all out. He said, “He was going to live until he died”. For me, it kind of wrapped it all up. I guess the only thing for us to do, is to choose just how we want to live until the inevitable. Pretty cool, and totally up… Read more »

“Set the Tone”

We all feel defeated…

At different points of time in our lives…it’s part of living, and it’s also part of having ups and downs, that’s all. But when we feel defeated, our stature is cropped to match our thoughts. It is in these times, we need to pull our shoulders back, put our chin up and move on, replacing… Read more »

I’ve had the Pleasure of…

Having a chat with many who have shared their challenges with me.
