Keeping humor in your family life is so imortant.  Just being as happy as you can be with family members can make life so much simpler and easy.
Talk Show Host Dennis Prager wrote a great book a few years ago titled “Happiness is a Serious Problem” in which he talks a lot about how it is […]

There is no such thing as a coincidence and you should teach your children that concept.
That is a huge statement in this day and age.  Most people have lost faith in God, or were never introduced to the religious/spiritual world.  That’s sad, too, because we have so much to gain from spiritual confidence.  Things happen […]

Zooch the Pooch is on Facebook, yeaaaa!  On Twitter we are known as “Zoochy Poochy” cause the other name was taken, drats!  It’s so much fun setting all of these new social networking sites up and working with them.  You can learn them so quickly anymore and the interfaces between Facebook and Twitter is easier […]

Don’t you find the Biggest Loser contestants inspirational? I can’t watch that show without feeling compassion and empathy for those folks. You want to cheer them on at every difficult point and sometimes I do, shouting out loud at my TV (goofy, I know, but then no one sees me either .

Isn’t inspiration a wonderful […]

There is a long held belief that the weekend starts at noon on Friday and I think that is true. I’ve been tryihng to get ahold of clients and friends all afternoon with no success, so they must already be enjoying the weekend.
It’s funny about traditions; we often think they are just ours, then we […]

Humor is so good for the human psyche, and our physical and mental health. I received an email from a friend today which included a clip of Harvey Corman and Tim Conway, television stars of the 70’s and 80’s. In it, Conway played a bumbling dentist who accidentally injects himself with a numbing pain killer […]

I don’t know about you, but I’ve always hated constructive criticism. I know I’m supposed to appreciate it, but I’m sure when I get it people are just trying to be cruel, egotistical (my way is better than yours!) or stubborn.
Then I got to thinking, maybe, it’s me that’s stubborn.
I love writing for clients, but […]

No, I’m not referring to when your Dad had Uncle Bob committed to the asylum because he wouldn’t stop running around the back yard in the nude. I’m talking about the power you feel when you give your word and commit to an act, promise or pledge.You are committing to a trust. Someone is trusting […]

I’ve been an avid follower of the new Law of Attraction work being done by the folks who produced the video and book “The Secret“. The Law of Attraction simply states that like attracts like, so when we have happy thoughts we attract happy circumstances. Of course, the opposite is true too, so having happy […]

Philosophy has been a favorite subject for as long as I can remember; it seems to come out of most experiences we have in life and sets the stage for discussion about the why’s and where for’s of our existence.
For over a decade cycling has given me much fodder for thought, prior to that it […]

The bank of clouds racing swiftly across the city were omnious, dark and roiling with dust and debris. He was high on the dam of a local reservoir overlooking the city when he turned and saw this sight. He knew a front was to come in later, but the last time he had looked north […]

A couple of days ago, I received a comment to one of my recent posts that was laden with foul language. The author attempted to insult me and thus elevate himself, but his message, which had merit, got lost in the vulgar diatribe.
It has become a tool of comedians who have no talent to swear […]

I keep hearing in the news, radio shows, and even in Jan Leno’s “man on the street interviews” that our children know very little American history, let alone any that is positive, and this fact worries me. Evidently I’m not the only one who has noticed this. Many people are opting for the traditional Catholic […]
