I often hear or read where people are wanting us to love each other more and that will counter act or even negate the anger that is occurring in the world. If we just loved more, then anger wouldn’t exist. I don’t understand where that notion comes from because if you’ve ever been a parent…
2015 is the year of the Goat and the theme is creating an eloquent relationship with our emotions and becoming competent in hearing their wisdom and acting upon it. With the current tragic events unfolding in France, one of the emotional misconceptions we are taught is being highlighted in bold. Anger is wrong and it…
Most people think of goals as a one sentence statement which labels a bullseye to hit within a specified time. If the time frame is non-existent then there’s not real impetus to reach the goal, but no real negative for not doing so other than it didn’t get done. If the time frame is too…

The landing on this past year was a bit shaky but any one you can walk away from, right? From the year of the Horse to the year of the Goat we’re moving out of emotionally turbulent waters into the quieter passions. Chew on that for a bit while you enjoy a relaxing and happy…
Or not. It’s Friday, it’s a long weekend after a long weekend and the holidays have just happened and stuff. So take a moment to look at things a different way, hang out a bit, clear away the party debris. If you want to think heavy thoughts about where you’ve been and where you’re going,…
It’s officially 2015 and the year of the Goat. Which means stop being lazy, get over your hang over, get off your ass or horse or whatever you ended up riding by the end of it all and get ready to work! LOL!!!! Just kidding (Get it? Kid? Goat humor…). Take the rest of the…
