Waiting Bites

So, here it is Thursday evening.  I just ordered a proof copy of my newest book called “It’s All About Me, the involved observer.” I will have to wait 120 hours before the book is due in my hands.  Waiting Bites. Do you realize how incredible it is that I am complaining about waiting 120 […]

I think I have lost it!

Car keys, plane tickets, pocket money, my favorite pen.  Each of these things have been lost to me at one time or another.  I search high and low, once, twice, even four or five times and they are not where I left them.  Does any of this sound familiar to you?  I think every one

Feel the power

Sunday afternoon, instead of writing to you I spent the time with my Communications Director for Choiceful Living Seminars, Elaine, doing the final touches on my forthcoming book “It’s All about Me.” When I say “feel the power” I am thinking of that moment when we pressed the button to upload the book to the publisher.

I am Outsider

I am all alone.  You don’t understand me.  Nobody understands me. Saturday is Valentines day and I don’t have anyone.  I am an outsider.

Intentions or goals?

So many books tell us we must set clear goals to be successful.  “Set those goals, make check-lists, don’t stop until you achieve the goal.”  Has this worked for you?  For me, not so much. Oh I have tried the goal thing, tried it a lot, but for me, life seems to get in the

Ouch, that hurts!

Want to know where you are called to improve your life?  I don’t mean called by your boss, or your spouse, or your parents, I refer instead to the call which is inside you; the call no one else will ever hear, the call which is perhaps beyond being articulated because you do not even

Stay in the game

I am sitting here watching the Super Bowl along with a projected 100 million other people.  On the field are two teams each longing to earn the Lombardi trophy.  Along the way to this opportunity have been literally thousands of opportunities to give-up, and each team had very good reasons to give- up, but they

But are you happy?

Have you ever found yourself saying “I will be happy when I have enough money to pay my bills?”, Maybe you have heard yourself saying you will be happy when you get a new job, a new car, a new spouse, a new home. The truth is if you are not happy with who you

Comparing you to me

Do we learn to compare ourselves to others, or is it an in-born trait?  Perhaps you were told “I wish you were more like your sister”, or “look at Johnny, he managed to get his homework in on time.” I guess that might lead me to believe somewhere along the line we were trained to identify our
