When the Doctor’s Didn’t Know What To Do

Yesterday my son (Ra) had to have surgery.  He had his tonsils removed.  Pretty routine procedure I’m guessing.  Everything went well and the doctor even came out to tell us that he should be waking up and going to recovery pretty soon.

Then about 20 minutes later he came back and told us Continue Reading »When the Doctor’s Didn’t Know What To Do

Between Discipline & Motivation

Recently I was in some kind of funk.  I knew there were tasks I needed to complete but I just couldn’t get my butt in gear.  When I get that feeling I’ve learned to pay attention because I’m about to learn a valuable lesson.

From writing to yoga to praying as often as I should to eating right and loads of other stuff I just can’t seem to get with the program and do what I know I need to do.  Not a real fun or comfortable place to be.  I had to literally look in the mirror Continue Reading »Between Discipline & Motivation

Daily Programming – Get your mind right!

Do you remember back in the old days before 199 channels of 24/7 Cable TV?

Stations actually used to sign off for the night and say”This concludes our daily programming”.  At least then they gave us a break from  the mental assault that took place on our minds.   Now there is a ton of “stuff” being hurled at us non stop.  In order to stay sane in a crazy world you’ve got to engage in some programming of yourself for yourself.  Continue Reading »Daily Programming – Get your mind right!

Avatar – Accept Responsibility

One Of The Original People

One Of The Na'vi People

I finally got to go see the movie of the decade this weekend.  Avatar, which is the most expensive movie ever made to date, was well worth the price of admission.  Even with the $6 3D glasses.

This movie embodies almost every personal belief I have about the goodness of humanity, the power of our authentic relationships with one another and our intimate connection to our planet. Continue Reading »Avatar – Accept Responsibility

Back To Romance – When the lovin’ grows cold.

Guest Post by Mary Chatman from Love Life Designs LLC.

“We are told that happy marriages are based on good communication, shared values, a sturdy support system of friends and relatives, happy, stable childhoods, fair quarrelling, and dogged determination. But in a survey of 470 studies on compatibility, psychologist Marcel Zentner, Ph.D., of the University of Geneva, found no particular combination of personality traits that leads to sustained romance — with one exception: the ability to sustain your positive illusions.” The above excerpt is By: Helen Fisher, Ph.D., from “O, The Oprah Magazine”

I totally agree with this notion because it’s the same thing as loosing respect for your mate Continue Reading »Back To Romance – When the lovin’ grows cold.

This is part 3 of a series on cheating. What causes it, how to eliminate or avoid it and what to do about it after it happens. If you missed part 1 or part 2 you can go back & get caught up. I’ll wait. :-)

The worst crime against marriage has been committed. Either you cheated or you were cheated on. Trust has been broken, the feeling has changed and there is a looming question. Do I stay or do I go? Continue Reading »Cheating – Why? How to Stop It? What Next? Pt3

Cheating – Why? How to stop it? What next? pt2

This is the 2nd part in a series on Cheating, why we don’t need it and how to end it. Read Pt 1 here.

I would love to know what the statistics would be if people had a chance to anonymously answer the question have you cheated in your relationship/marriage?

If you could insure that your significant other never cheats on you (or you never cheat either) would you make sure it never happens? Well the fact of the matter is, you can’t control what other people do.  But you can do what’s necessary to avoid a situation before it becomes a problem.

Finding your Niche – What’s your purpose?

A wise old man once said that it takes  70 years to learn how to live your life.

Its a darn shame that so many people check out of this life before they even reach that point.  When I was a kid I couldn’t wait until I was a teenager.   When I was in my teens I was anxious to be 25.  When I was 25 Continue Reading »Finding your Niche – What’s your purpose?

Stuff Somebody Should’ve Told Me Before I got Married

I’m one of those people who learn best by experience.  Or at least I was that way in my younger days.  Now I know the value of good advice and conceptual learning.  My grandmother used to say “A hard head makes a soft behind”.  I guess I’m officially old because I find myself saying it too.

I’ve been married twice and I hope &pray that this 2nd time is the last time.  I continue to learn some lessons the hard way but because I hope to spare some courting couple a little  pain and headache Continue Reading »Stuff Somebody Should’ve Told Me Before I got Married
