Live in the now
Live in the now? Get serious will ya? I’ve got bills to pay, college tuition looming, retirement around the corner, health issues, aging parents, etc… I need to plan for the future with a fury. After all, the TV tells me so. No one would likely argue with you either. The future is important and […]

Could it be time for a Mentor?
Do you ever get the feeling that your feet are stuck in the mud and that your dreams have yet to materialize? If so rest assured, you’re not alone although this realization should provide you with no solace. Your life is the one that you’ve built and what others have done with theirs has no […]

Happiness is about FOCUS
Do you ever feel like you’re just floating from day to day like driftwood? That feeling of “just fitting in” with whatever life throws at you? If so, you’re in good company. So many today are getting up, going to work, paying bills, and having kids until the oxygen runs out. Now that’s not to […]

Don’t worry. You are not alone!
If there are over 7 billion people on this planet then why do I sometimes feel so alone? Social media will have you believe that everyone else’s life is amazing while your’s seems to be in the toilet bowl. Don’t fret. We all feel alone and insecure at times. There’s nothing wrong with you. Our […]
