This is not my story but, rather, a story that pertains to all of us. As we all try to manage our lives on our personal journey – the struggles and challenges that confront us – unbeknownst to us, there is a higher purpose to our daily existence. A far greater calling. But we cannot see […]

I walked into the Emergency Room lobby for the third time in six months, knowing full well they could not help me.  But it calmed my racing mind just simply to be in the halls of the hospital. It was an ironic place to seek comfort – surrounded by pain – but oddly it felt […]

***Holidays originates from Holy Days, a time for spiritual reflection*** Life is far too complex to compartmentalize your activities into three broad categories, and certainly during these challenging times in the age of a pandemic.  But it may be helpful to consider the motive behind all your endeavors and the ultimate benefit you derive as […]

The unconscious mind is a dark, murky, mysterious wonderland.  It is a shadowy place that holds all our memories, ideas, feelings and thoughts that are out of conscious awareness.

We need to be doing something, going somewhere, doing anything just to feel and look productive. It’s not socially correct just to simply say we are […]

I love watching the graceful transition from Summer to Fall. Mother Nature takes her sweet time with such gradual, incremental changes we barely take notice. Dawn breaks a few seconds later and the sun sets a few seconds earlier, compressing each passing day as we crawl towards Ol’ Man Winter in these lazy Autumn days. […]

Remember those wonderful bedtime stories your parents would tell you to lull you to sleep, letting your fertile imagination run wild? The world was full of magical possibilities as we gently dosed off into dreamland with warm and fuzzy feelings in the safe comfort of our home. The storytelling continues as we become adults and […]

August 2020 was the hottest month EVER on record, eclipsing the previous high which was August of 2019. This summer of 2020 now holds the unfortunate title of hottest summer ever. The past five years have […]
