Your life is a work of art

Everything you do each day paints a picture of you for you to view.  Others can see you as well.  Like looking at one section of a great painting they may only see the background or a bird’s wing or the side of the building they may not understand completely but still they see it. …

Change

Our lives are so full of input, experience, constant bombardment.  Some of this is good, some neutral, some bad.  We seem to spend our lives pushing through the neutral and the bad reaching for some small part of good and inside is an entire symphony of thought and emotion and being all moving a swirling…

Feeling Alone

Few people want to feel alone or lonely.  Even if you are independent and like to take charge, do things on your own, or work in the quiet that doing solitary things provides, you feel better when there are people who understand you and appreciate you. We all need people who see us and like…

What will you be when you grow up?

I know, it’s a trite phrase.  But when you are looking for your life purpose, it’s valid.  I understand that none of us wants to grow up, meaning that we don’t want to stop having fun, enjoying life, or to be responsible for the not so fun stuff.  Lord knows I don’t want to either.…

Are you lost?

I love my android not only for the fun apps and the good sound quality I get, but mostly I love it for the GPS.  I just got back from a road trip to California where I had to use the back roads to get from Hwy 101 to I-5.  I had instructions from friends…

It’s all small stuff

Know that saying ‘Don’t sweat the small stuff. It’s all small stuff.’  Well, yes.  In the end, unless you’re a Marvel comic’s super hero or a brain surgeon or a rocket scientist, it’s all small stuff.  So don’t sweat it.  But do pay attention to it.  Because who you are is spelled out in the…

So where do you go from here?

So what do you do once you’ve tried something and it didn’t turn out the way you thought?  You have a college degree but there is no job out there for you and you’re back living at home with your parents…your marriage is trashed and he’s gone and now you have a baby to take care…
