Lifting the Poor Wayfaring Men of Grief
As we were leaving a Walmart parking lot yesterday, I rolled down my car window and gave a dollar to a homeless man on the corner. He grabbed my hand and genuinely thanked me for the dollar, but asked if I had anything for a headache. It was so hot outside. No wonder he had… Continue reading Lifting the Poor Wayfaring Men of Grief
How do you measure Happiness?
Happiness is a choice. Feeling successful is a choice. Happiness and success do not come from fame, fortune, other people, or material possessions. Happiness is an inside job.

Keeping it simple today. I need this message today as much as anyone who might read my posts. I hope it helps someone else too.
Bloom Where You are Planted
In my journey to better health I am convinced that the healthiest thing I have done thus far is to control comparing myself to others. I am sure you think this idea is not entirely new. I have known for many years that this was an idea was something I needed to embrace. I would… Continue reading Bloom Where You are Planted
Not My Responsibility
I've been thinking about people who struggle to find happiness lately. I have my days when life feels crappy and I have my days when life is alright.The more I seek pure happiness the more I understand that those seeking happiness take personal responsibility for their words, their behavior, their actions, their mistakes, their ideas… Continue reading Not My Responsibility
