Day Eighty-Nine of 365 – Writing a New Story!
Do you ever become weary of the story you live? Do you ever wish that things would change in ways that would give you more control over your future? Do you ever wonder what keeps you running head on into the same obstacles over and over again? What if there were a book or story […]
Day Eight-Eight of 365 – On Becoming a Victim of Self!
We live in a day and time when speaking one’s mind tends to serve as a badge of privilege. We have the “right” to make any of our thoughts – ALL of our thoughts – known to the public via multiple media platforms. We tend to believe that our “right” to loose our thoughts on an […]
Day Eighty-Four of 365 – That Tough Thing . . . You Know The One!
That “though” thing . . . you know the one! We all have that “tough” thing on our plate – that thing that we wish would go away or diminish in importance. We approach that tough thing in many ways – ignore it; pretend it doesn’t matter; cover it up; make excuses for it; “forget” […]
Day Eighty-Three of 365 – Darkness Begets Light
How often are we shocked and appalled by the insensitive, uncaring or cruel behavior of others? How often do we pass judgment on the actions of others without taking time to examine and study what might be behind those actions? How often do we attempt to drive out the darkness found in another using only […]
Day Eighty-One of 365 – “Go On! I Dare You! Take A Stand!”
This particular snippet has its genesis in a couple of separate yet parallel pieces I’ve published in another place in the past. After reviewing these two thoughts, I felt compelled to combine them into one complete article. On this Eighty-First day of my 365 day writing challenge, I find myself drawn once again, to clarifying […]
Day Seventy-Nine of 365 – There’s Always a Back Story!
Paul Harvey used to have a program that aired where he would take the listener behind the scenes of a story that might or might not have been well-known. He called this clever exploration, “The Rest of the Story.” I loved hearing about all the information that was not obvious or that well-known, for that […]
Day Seventy-Four of 365 – When It Is What It Is
On Day Seventy-Four of my 365 day writing challenge, I may have hit upon the strangest idea yet – and I mean strange even for me! Sometimes strange ideas work and sometimes they don’t. The jury is still out on this idea. Sometimes my mind takes rabbit-trail trips that wander through canyons of fancy. Sometimes […]
Day Seventy-Two of 365 – The Lies We Believe
I have been thinking quite a bit lately about lies. Lies are everywhere! They come in all shapes and sizes and from people from all walks of life. Lies are told for numerous reasons. Lies are softened from time to time. Lies come in various forms – bald-faced; white; outright and compulsive. There are lies […]
Day Sixty-Eight of 365 – “You Can Only Be Where You Are!”
On Day Sixty-Eight of my 365 day writing challenge, I have elected to employ a rather odd saying I use from time to time to remind myself and others with whom I work that the only place I can do anything of any significance is the place in which I find myself. The saying goes […]
Day Sixty-Seven of 365 – Four Steps to Peace
The world is filled with activity. We are often overwhelmed by the seemingly constant demands on our time, our resources, our emotions, our relationships and our minds. We are taxed to the max! In light of these demands, finding Peace can be an almost impossible task. As difficult as this challenge might be, finding pockets […]
