You have to be living under a rock in the ocean if you have no idea how divided the world has become, especially in the last week. Everyone takes a “side” in something. But many of these “sides” are nothing more than labels used to keep us from uniting with each other. I can’t speak…

Be The One To Be Different
Being the one is not a new concept. It’s been sung about and talked about in many places designed to encourage people. But, in our current society, it’s more important than ever to be strong enough to “be the one.” You can change the world, even if it’s in a small way. Be the first…
Stop Alienating Your Tribe
We live in a world of division. There are a lot of dividing lines in each of our lives. Some lines need to be drawn, but ones we don’t need to draw are those that divide us from others of like minds – our “tribe”, if you will. Let’s look at people looking to follow…
Little By Little Nobody Noticed
When I was a child, I wanted my hair cut, but my dad wouldn’t let me. He thought little girls should all have long hair. But my mother understood, and she agreed to cut just a little bit off each week until it was shorter. For a long time, my father never noticed. The world…
When “Help me!” Is Silent

As We Reflect on 2024 …
At the end of a year, many of us reflect on the passing year. In a couple of days, we will be switching our calendars to a new year. 2024 will be behind us. I keep a daily log which I can peruse at the close of December. It shows the highlights of each day…
My Hallway of Memories
I have a work room upstairs where I write, paint, dream and store tidbits of memories from my life. Cleaning the room is like walking down a hallway of memories. I’m 54 years old and there are decades of little tidbits I’ve collected. And since I’ve been a writer my whole life, there are many…
Conversations Are A Two Lane Road
Conversations are a two lane road. You encounter thoughts coming at you and you expel your own thoughts by way of words and sentences.
