We allow life to be a distraction when in fact it is meant to be the attraction.What is it to say "I know" when all that you have lived is but a small sliver of life's possibility?Thankful for the gift of being a father...There is not a day that goes by that I am thankful for the gift of being a father.

Life is about "CHOICE!" You "ALWAYS" have a choice!The pressure to make the choice you really want to make will vary. There will be times that it requires everything you are to make the choice "YOU WANT!" Still, other times it's "NO BIG DEAL!"I'm not saying it is easy, I'm simply saying you "ALWAYS" have a choice...;-)Choosing to live your life, even when there might be others threatening you,

A curious thing for me, is the fact that we as humans have "A CHOICE!"Logically, it is easy for me to then say, choice is by design. Choice is built-in to rules of the game, "The Game of Life!"If choice is an absolute then how can some people stand on God's name or "the word of Jesus" until those in their life feel they can no longer breath.The only thing you can say or do must be what they "

A Salmon swims upstream enduring an amazing struggle simply to have to the opportunity to spawn the next generation. at the end of this journey death is almost certain.Is it any wonder that we as humans are so resistant to "swimming upstream" or acting "against the grain."Here's the first thing that comes to mind, for me, death isn't almost certain "death is an absolute!" You don't cheat death,

I have the book "Nonviolent Communication" by Marshall B. Rosenberg, PhD and have read parts of it...much left to read. It is a wonderful book that is filled with a great insight into communication.Personally I would prefer the title read "peaceful communication" as it is my feeling that the inclusion of the word violent in fact requires violence to exist for the book to have meaning. words do

I "ABSOLUTELY LOVE" words and how they can dance across a page when one dares to let them live as they live their life.Even the numbing rhythm of the flat-lined, mono-toned person can be so provocative when it is embraced in a shameless fashion. I recall the movie "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" and one of the teachers in his numbing mono-tone voice asking the students "anyone, anyone, anyone..."Me on

Here is my response to hurricane Katrina.I have created a new blog, and I will look at the events of hurricane Katrina through the lense of curiosity and with a willingness to be uncomfortable as I post my observations and experience of the unfolding events.To say it is a tragedy, is easy. To recognize that the drama of life simply unfolded as it does everyday and in this moment gave us an

Why is it that we see "humans" as separate from nature?Anytime we do something and it changes "nature" or "the wild" we refer to it as "un-natural."We seek balance with nature, want to preserve nature, and at the same time we don't see ourselves as part of nature.Do we have the ability to impact our surroundings, YES! Does a beaver have the ability to impact it's surroundings, YES! Does an

Which one are you focused on?So, today was quite an experience.I had the opportunity to live my life in reverse for a brief period. How long is brief in this case; approximately two hours.Being a Toastmaster, today I was the Toastmaster, there is often a call for action. Not taking action stands out like a sore thumb, which can be a beautiful thing...;-)Anyways, I ended up being late. If you are

What I am feeling and experiencing...While I enjoy and love a good quote, I have a very strong feeling about using my own words to convey what it is that I am feeling and experiencing.Be heard, be you...I always encourage others to do the same. Practice, learn to say what you are feeling and experiencing. Learn to say it without using someone elses quote. Your view and your life experience are

How often are you living on the edge?As I consider the many references, to the edge, I have experienced over my lifetime I am puzzled by a general sense of "DON'T DO IT!"Don't Do What?What is it they are talking about? It is as if the edge has an affinity for disaster. It that true for you? I mean, do you steer clear of the edge and do you live that way in every aspect of your life?What is the

---------------------------------------------------------Apologies...why bother?An excuse, a lie, or a habit...Have you ever noticed how easily people can say "I'M SORRY?" Is there any sincerity left? Seriously, how often do you really consider why your apologizing or saying thank you?Are you on "AUTOPILOT?"Sorry can be as automatic as "Thank You" and more often than not it has about as much

That is putting it mildly...When I started my blog, God was easily that last thing I would have considered as a subject.So what "changed?"As I completed my first post I realized that "God" and "spirituality" were definitely important aspects of my life and as such "how could I" talk about being "Boldly YOU" if I never

When your young it is hard to find enough, and when your old you no longer have such a need.My parents, they "NEVER" discussed it, I didn't have a "CLUE" about it.
