   Love and Respect. Funny, you wouldn’t think people would get these two verbs wrong.  And yet, in recent days I’ve been front row center to some very ‘difficult’ situations. Whenever I witness a husband and wife ‘disagreeing,’ I understand that; it simply means you have two different opinions that have met on a collision […]

It was one year ago that I experienced an internal meltdown.  I finally consulted with an orthopedic specialist and surgeon about the (now increasing) PAIN in my knees.   As the physician’s assistant hung my X-rays in front of me, I knew before he spoke a word that this conversation was going to exceed the […]

   Caption this. If you could write the dialogue of what’s going on in her mind, what would the conversation sound like?

There are some things in life that just get us all flustered, and one of them is waiting.   The traffic light turns red after the first car goes through the intersection.  Wait. The final decision about the job interview isn’t confirmed before the weekend begins.  Wait. The direct deposit incurred a glitch in the system […]

  Frustration can sometimes get the very best of me. I have to work really hard at NOT letting my emotions overrule what I know to be the “right way” to be.  When I show up for work and I have to clean up after somebody’s “mess” (Dumbbells, barbells, plyometric benches, 45 and 55 pound plates, […]

   Legacy ~~ that’s a pretty huge word to me.  I guess because it feels like it carries a lot weight. Doesn’t it almost sound like: “Let us see?” Funny, the contrast between the two.  To me, a “legacy” requires intentional thoughts and deliberate actions; and everything woven together with threads of purpose.  Whereas “let us […]

   Are you in a hard spot right now? I know that feeling ~~ that awful ‘gnawing’ feeling in your soul that just makes you want to scream ~~ you wish it were all just a very bad dream and that you’ll soon awaken to a bright new day.  But it’s not a dream ~~ and it […]
