Trouble with your Past? This will help

If you are like most people I know, myself included, you often find yourself thinking about the past.  At times, this remembering turns into a pit of despair that sucks you in without your consent and leaves you mired in the murkiness of bad decisions for hours or perhaps days. Dealing with the past can […]

You Want It?

Getting what you want is not difficult. Let me say that again, “Getting what you want is not difficult.” The problem, for most people, is not the process of reaching their goal and getting what they want.  The problem is in knowing what it is they want.  What is IT?

For maybe the tenth time this week, Psychology Today – I follow it on my Facebook account – posted yet another article about how to tell if your relationship is… healthy… thriving… and so many other similar words they use to headline articles about relationships.

It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does […]

Confession Time

Has anyone else ever had one of those days where you woke up and immediately felt the onset of intense dislike?  For whatever reason, as soon as you open your eyes, you know it’s not a good day.  There has been no forecast of impending doom, no unusual activities you are dreading occurring today, no […]

Warning: Not For the Resistant

I have a lot of friends on Facebook who are constantly posting inspirational quotes about not caring what others think, about how to be happy, about how to live life to the fullest and about how to stand up for yourself – how to stop letting others take advantage of you. The truth is – […]
