Day Twenty-Eight of 365 – Call It What It Is
I become increasingly discouraged when I look around me. Spin doctors work all the time creating mirages around realities to the extent that facts become a sort of comfortable fiction. As long as we have people bent on distorting events toward their own personal biases in order to gain power or control, we run the […]
Day Twenty-Seven of 365 – The Present
Author’s note: I wrote this yesterday (the 27th) but was unable to publish it due to some sort of glitch in this publishing platform. I was frustrated because I thought I had lost my string of days, then I realized that my commitment was to WRITE for 365 days in a row, not necessarily publish. […]
Day Twenty-Three of 365 – Something to Write
I must admit that when I took on this personal challenge to write an article, part of a story or some meaningful blog post every day for a whole year, I felt a sense of certainty in my ability to do so. Today, on day twenty-three, I find myself struggling just a wee bit. […]
Day Twenty Two of 365 – Something New, Part 3
Author’s Note: This is the third installment in my “short story in the making.” I am writing a short story and publishing it in segments. This is a new venture for me. I hope you’ll enjoy each addition to this story. Fire The Unknown Intrigue trumped trepidation and I found myself moving slowly toward the […]
Day Twenty of 365 – Words!
Today’s post is short and sweet. To the point. It is simply a random listing of words that I think bear significance on today especially. I believe that these words have the power to shape our lives in the days to come. Fill in the blanks before and after the words with your own thoughts. […]
Day Seventeen of 365 – We Are Not Alone
At first glance, the title of this article might cast visions of an “X-Files” episode or serve as the headline announcing a UFO convention. As much as I am a fan of the X-Files, this title has nothing to do with flying saucers or Extra-terrestrial beings. It has, however, everything to do with a reality […]
Day Sixteen of 365 – Teach from Within
I have a great affinity for Native American wisdom, especially proverbs from the Hopi People. The practical nature of their sayings carries a certain applicability that begs us to put them into action. One that I particularly like says that , “Teaching should come from within instead of without.” In an age driven buy sound […]
Day Fifteen of 365 – Under the Wire
I’m a fan of sayings, old and new! I am fascinated with their meaning, intent and origin. One that finds its way into many conversations is the one, “Under the wire.” You may have used it in connection with turning a paper in at the last minute or completing a project just prior to a […]
Day Fourteen of 365 – Start Where You Are
Arthur Ashe once said, “Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.” Three short sentences that pack a punch! Three short sentences that challenge us to act purposefully. Three short sentences that fly in the face of our typical approach on most days. Now I know that some of you will […]
Day Nine of 365 – The Power of Choice
As I ponder the beginning of today, the ninth in my year-long writing challenge, I am drawn to a quote by Tony Robbins as my source of inspiration. Mr. Robbins says, “It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped.” You see, he believes that the power of choice ultimately determines the path of our […]
