Day Nineteen of 365 – The Start of Something New, Pt. 2
Author’s Note: As part of my personal quest to publish one bit of writing per day for a whole year, I’ve decided to start something new. I’ve decided to mix in parts of a short story that I will add to from time to time. I won’t write end-on-end segments each day until it is […]
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.

Often in the face of someone else reaching a milestone, we compare ourselves to them and wonder what makes them more special or blessed than we. Sometimes during this process of comparison, […]
Day Seven of 365 – What Might Happen If . . .
I often wonder what might happen if we were to choose one action over another. How might the outcome be different? What new insight might we gain? Take a few moments to ponder what might happen if we were to: Listen more than we talk? Give more than we take? Hug rather than push away? […]
Day Six of 365 – Sometimes There Are No Words
As I awake this morning and tackle my personal challenge of writing something every day for a whole year I realize that sometimes, there are no words! Sometimes, words fail to materialize. Sometimes, the brain refuses to work. Sometimes, inspiration takes a vacation. There are other times in life when there are no words: In the […]
Day Five of 365 – We Are The Ones
The Hopi (Native American) people have a proverb that bears serious consideration when thinking about responsibility. It says, “We are the ones we have been waiting for.” Rather curious, don’t you think? “WE are the ones we have been waiting for!” How often in life do we wait for someone or something to come along […]
