Day Seventy-One of 365 – When Life Overwhelms
Wading in waist deep gulf or ocean water can have a tremendous calming effect. Losing yourself in the undulations of a serene surf can create a sense of peace and tranquility. All of this is great until the ocean’s other personality asserts itself. You know what I mean. Without warning, a “rogue wave” appears from […]
Day Sixty-Nine of 365 – “If You Don’t, Then Don’t Advertize”
Many years ago when I was in college, I read a book that addressed the subject of service to others. I’m guessing that the book was generally non-descript with the exception of one particular section. That one section made the book worth reading for me. Now I know that many times, stories shared by “preacher […]
Day Sixty-Eight of 365 – “You Can Only Be Where You Are!”

Finding and living one’s purpose is a topic about which much has been written. Whether the books and/or articles that address the subject are religious, political, ideological, educational or psychological in nature, many times the point appears to be the same. They seek to define purpose by creating a set of expectations and behaviors that tend […]
Day Fifty-Nine of 365 – The Nature of Courage
Every day I work, I witness people of courage moving through life with deliberate, focused intent. Whether the examples come from the student population at school where I work, clients in my private practice or various colleagues, I am reminded of the power of Courage! Never before in my lifetime has there been more need for […]
Day Fifty-Seven of 365 – How Does One Become Comfortably Numb?
As you may know if you’ve been following my posts, I’ve embarked on a personal journey to write at least one article, thought or post every day for a whole year. On the surface, that might not seem like a big challenge (I admit that I might have taken the thought a bit too lightly […]
Day Fifty-Six of 365 – All Hail the “Yoda” Club!
Many of you out there are Star Wars fans. Some are not. Either way, it is likely that you have heard of Yoda. Yoda is the enigmatic character who dispensed wisdom in slightly off kilter sentence structures. One of my favorite lines from the short, green sage is, “Do or Do Not! There is No Try!” […]
