The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity. The fears are paper tigers. You can do anything you decide to do. You can act to change and control your life; and the procedure, the process is its own reward – Amelia Earhart […]
A few years back, a pretty well known individual noted “when do go low, you go high.” Or something to that effect. I remember thinking, that’s nice but not realistic. I, for one try to take the high road, most of the time. But, we are all goaded […]
Some people say “you can’t fix stupid”. I don’t like that phrase because, education and information sharing can increase knowledge. What I like to point out is that you can’t fix those who remain purposely obtuse. There are those who you provide information to and who chose to […]

Everywhere we turn, we hear about heroes. Everyone is a hero this day. The word, in all honesty, appears to have lost some of it cache and meaning. This is not the first time I discuss this. Years ago I talked about hero worship. And, that was years […]
I’m a big fan of the television show Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I have not re-watched it in a while but there are lines and scenes seared within my brain. There are also take-home messages that fit many of life’s situations. One such message is that there are […]
Many years ago, I gleefully bought a sweatshirt that says “done”. I keep it around with me so that I put it on at any given moment. “Done” can be that I’m celebrating finishing a project. “Done” can be that I’m fed up and not tolerating it anymore. […]
