“What’s so special about him? He has a lisp!” Asked my girlfriend’s mother as I pulled away in my car after our “initial introduction.” However, a few days later when I rang that same doorbell, my future mother-in-law “melted” when she answered the door, where I stood holding a single red carnation just for her! Sharon and I dated seriously …
Have you ever noticed that you can be going along in a relationship, thinking things are just fine, and suddenly the bottom drops out and everything falls apart? This happens in all kinds of relationships: business, romantic, friendships and family. For some reason (the moon is weird, the wind blew the wrong way, or whatever) what was good for a …
You are given many opportunities to choose between being kind and being right. You have chances to point out to someone their mistakes, things they could or should have done differently, ways they can improve. You have chances to “correct” people, privately as well as in front of others. What all these opportunities amount to are chances to make someone …
Our habits and rituals make up our life. Every day we need physical energy, mental clarity, and emotional balance to tackle everything that comes our way.

Too many …
Most of my adult life, I’ve thought of my heart as just an organ in my body that thrived on low-cholesterol foods and occasional daily exercise. I also believed if I didn’t take care of my heart, I would die early, the way my father did at age 56. My view of my heart, however, changed recently when I watched …
Even though I was only seven years old, my childhood ended abruptly on April 17, 1975. That was the day the Communist Khmer Rouge guerilla forces captured the city of Phnom Penh and Cambodia fell under the control of a murderous regime whose reign of terror resulted in the deaths of almost two million Cambodians. As the mostly teen-aged soldiers …
“Everyone needs wishes and dreams, because the bridge you build between them and reality is your life.” (Marilyn Bagel) Many people are afraid to dream, either they simply don’t know how to, or more often because they are mired in only knowing how to color within their comfortable world-view box.

Holding the chortling newborn for the first time, my aunt whispered between goo-goos and ga-gas, “You’re gonna have a good life. I can just feel it.” Later, she said I had an indisputable cheerfulness and positivity evident even in diapers. Although her words foretold the truth, it wasn’t always apparent to me.

Have you ever wondered what’s out there for you? What does God (or the universe) have in store for you? You know, deep down, there’s more in you to give, but you have no idea what it is.
