A Chocolate Fast

I have decided to give up chocolate…for a month. And for me, that’s huge. That’s the equivalent of an alcoholic giving up alcohol for a month.
Why did I decide to do this? Well after becoming more spiritual and much more humble I decided to give up or to fast something I love for a period [...]

“Just Listen”

Here is an article I wrote for the Lexington edition of the Examiner entitled Just Listen. It talks about how there are a lot of talkers, but not many who are good listeners.
Have you ever needed to say something, explain something, or unburden yourself but you were interrupted and just weren’t listened to? It’s very [...]

Quit Trying to Please Everybody

This email from Perfect Driven Connection came at a very good timing for me. I had just been badly hurt by a couple that I thought were friends at one time but were never friends in the first place. As I said in the last post, someone decided to tell some lies about me and [...]

Sometimes You Have to Weed People Out of Your Life

Recently someone made up lies about me. 2 people I used to think were friends-a couple-believed the lies right off the bat. I tried to tell them my side, but they wouldn’t even listen. I couldn’t [...]

Everyone has wondered sometime what it’s like to die. We all will die one day and it’s scary. We are unafraid of the unknown and there’s a lot we don’t know or understand.
Some believers feel anxious and scared about death. It’s very common. While others feel happy about dying, knowing that the “hard life” [...]

Growing Through Heartache

We all have difficult times in our lives. It’s just part of life.
One of the most painful things in life is when someone stops loving us as in a relationship dies or goes sour. Our heart aches and we don’t know what to do. Even the sunniest most beautiful days can seem bleak without [...]

Atheists Want To Take Away Our Religious Freedom

Apparently some control freaks want to take away our religious freedom. The United States of America was founded on religious freedom. And that’s freedom OF religion, not freedom FROM religion. Some Atheists confuse those two entirely different concepts. We don’t want to take away anyones right not to believe in God or to believe in [...]

All Alone and Unloved

Does anyone else out there feel like they are all alone in the world and unloved?
I feel like no one cares and besides, I’m not worthy of being cared for anyway. I can’t blame anyone for not caring or loving me, they should stick to caring for people who deserve it and loving people who [...]
