We are all looking for answers. There will always be something that makes us curious...something that needs explanation. The problem is that the information we seek is often unavailable. There are some things that will forever remain a mystery. We will never know all that we expect to know. We will never understand all that … Continue reading To Know Or Not To Know →

At any given moment the space we occupy in our head, heart and environment can change shape. At any given moment we can be forced outside the comfort zone we have worked hard to mold. Our lives are not predictable. Things change...some over time and others in an instant. Circumstances and surroundings change. Where we … Continue reading Fear Today, Gone Tomorrow →

The grey area that sits between reality and imagination, truth and lies, dreams and practicality conceals a trap that waits for us all. It's the trap of honesty. It's altogether possible to fool ourselves some of the time...to convince ourselves that a blatant wrong is a potential right. We may go down that path with … Continue reading The Policy Of Honesty →

That which is most obvious can often be overlooked. The forest can easily be hidden by the trees. We can get so close to something that it is no longer seen. Life is lived at a frenetic pace and so many things demand our attention. There is so much noise surrounding us that it's not … Continue reading No Bliss In Ignorance →

Everything has value. Everything has worth. A financial, emotional or physical exchange is involved in acquiring anything we want. Nothing is for free. We can check a price tag to learn how much an owner expects for whatever it is that they are offering. We can look elsewhere for someone offering something similar for a … Continue reading The Value Of One →

Decisions made in haste can be regretted. Far more regrettable, however, are decisions that were never made. Choosing the right time is often both impracticable and impossible. Far easier in fact to delay...to wait for the planets to align and for all the ducks to get in a line. Rarely, however, is the time perfect … Continue reading Now, Not Never →

It's only when we are tested that we are either comforted or confronted by the true depth of our feelings or the true strength of our convictions. Until then theory must suffice. But ideas are a long way short of the practicalities of their application and it's within the gap between the two that we … Continue reading Truth In The Testing →

There is no such thing as a perfect, faultless life. Good and bad co-exist. There are challenges and there are rewards. Just as the earth needs both the sunshine and the rain to sustain life, so too do we need a mixture of emotional light and shade. Survival is all about balance but it has … Continue reading Happy Is As Happy Does →

Time is a gift and yet it is a gift that is often under-valued. We spend the time we have finding someone to love us and finding someone to love. It's that need to be part of something greater than ourselves that is our driving force. How we spend our time is a matter of … Continue reading The Clock Is Ticking →

The person we are is the person we choose to be. We can be our own light or we can be our own darkness. We can be our own worst enemy or our own best friend. We decide. The story of our life is the story we write ourselves. It's a mix of good and … Continue reading Decide From The Inside →
