God, sometimes I don’t know what to do with my feelings! I’m guess I’m glad I can feel, because I can’t imagine not having any emotions, but I love the good ones and hate the bad ones. The good ones don’t last long enough and the bad ones hang around way too long. I wish … Read more
In my counseling practice, I hear lots of folks who sheepishly explain what started the last argument that escalated into full blown anger. After the fact, they realize that mundane things like leaving on the lights, failing to pick up clothes off the floor, or forgetting to run an errand are not really huge deals … Read more
We all face disappointment. It’s just one of those not so fun parts of life. Simply put, disappointment happens when our reality doesn’t match our expectations. Life just doesn’t go according to our plan very often. It’s one thing when your team loses (hey, it is just a game) or it rains on your outdoor … Read more
All of us have unfinished business. Just take a look around our yards. Look at our desks. Open closet doors and venture down basement steps only if you dare. We leave new projects uncompleted, sometimes because of higher priorities that press in on us, or sometimes because we just grow tired of what was once … Read more

Pop ups. They still happen on my computer, even with all the great software pop up blockers in our browsers and computer firewalls. I know, I know, it’s marketing at its best when an advertiser finds a new and creative way to get products and services in front of our faces, but pop up ads … Read more
If you’ve ever tried to pick up a bird egg from the grass in your back yard, hold a newborn baby in your arms, tweeze a splinter from the finger of a child, stack Jenga blocks on an already wobbly tower, you’ve practiced gentleness. It takes a lot of energy and effort, because if we … Read more
Our world is all about going green these days, as it should always have been. Companies tout that they are green, schools promote their “greenness”, communities declare they are green, and there are even green websites.
