Imagination!
History! It is important is so many ways! Studying history helps us understand the foundations of societies, cultures, families, corporations and individuals!

Guardians of Change!
“Change – whether imposed, as a result of natural life progressions or self-initiated – often presents challenges that require practical, proactive and creative action!” This is a direct quote from one of the pages on the McKinney Counseling Services website! I’m not sure any of us really revel in the inevitability of change – not […]
The First Choice!
The First Choice! Often we allow Life to make our first choice of the day for us! It happens one day, then the next, then the next and then . . . well it becomes habitual! It’s almost like we get up in the morning and allow life to give us instructions like this: “OK, […]

When In Doubt . . .
Doubt! How do you handle doubts when they crop up? Do you treat them as irritants? Do you allow them to immobilize your thoughts or actions? Do you give them more power than they deserve? Do you listen to the warnings sometimes imbedded in them? All too often we tend to treat Doubt as if […]
Domestic Violence
Domestic Violence! Domestic violence exists in all socioeconomic levels; all Faiths; all cultures; all societies; in more families than we care to acknowledge! Domestic violence adversely affects individuals; families; schools; colleges; communities; businesses; corporations; governmental bodies! Domestic violence is often ignored; minimized; tolerated; justified; supported; glamorized; re-named. Domestic violence consistently eats away at the fabric […]
Worth Considering!
Greetings! Questions are powerful tools in our hands when we know how to use them ~ especially when we ask questions of ourselves! I have a friend who once told me, “Statements simply tell. Questions sell!” I like that! We have all heard of “self talk” ~ the talk that swims around in our head […]
