Expressing ourselves creatively can really help up us to both develop our imagination and reduce stress in our lives. Whenever I have been asked the question in my life; are you an artist? I always say yes. When people would then say; do you paint? I would respond, “not yet but I intend to some…
A smile is a precursor to a chuckle. A chuckle a precusor to a laugh and a laugh a precursor to absolute total abandonment in mirth. It is scale and if you are not familiar with it then perhaps you need some practice. Did you know that laughter can be used as a form of…
Did you know that every atom in your body was created 13.7 billion years ago. There is no more and no less matter in the universe today than after it was created within the first second of the universe’s creation. But that is not all that fascinates me. Each breath we take chances are there…
We have many terms to help us describe life. The cycle, the circus, like a stage, like a carousel. I have always enjoyed the visual of the carousel, but not just any carousel, it has to be a very fun ride. I like this particular image because we are flying, which connotes success to me.…

Sometimes inside we have multiple internal personas and I am not talking about having a disability either. Sometimes they help us but often they hurt us. You have heard the saying “we can be our own worst enemy” and this is what I am talking about today. The oppressor can fall into three archtypes I…
It may be beautiful but it is still dead leaves! What is it that you are still carrying around that you might be better off without in 2010? I am talking about stories. Old stories. Stories that are not serving you anymore. These are not stories of hope and success in your life, they are…
As surely as physics provides the basis to turn water into hydro-electric power, choice provides the basis for our transformation. The most interesting part of transformation to me is not what we become, nor even necessarily what we were before, it is the process of the transformation itself. The key word is “change” and I…
