The truth about ourselves is never palatable. Today I had cause to think about this, and it made me chuckle a bit, maybe it was me being mean I don't know.  So there I was dealing with an incident that escalated simply because someone couldn't man up and deal with me 'head on'; so to speak. I always figure that the best way to deal with situations is to battle them yourself, it is not about

There is an old saying that goes "if you fail to plan, you plan to fail".  For years I struggled with writing essay plans simply because I did not seem them as important. I write, give me pen and paper and the words flow; I write.  Then a few years ago I decided to do an essay plan just for the heck of it, I still can not finish writing out an entire plan but I must say I prefer the

When was the last time you actually stopped and literally "smell the roses"? Today on my walk home from the night market I had paused for a few seconds to look at a flower I had never really noticed before but it must have been there for a while because it was a big plant. Two plus years I have lived on this street and I have never seen that flower. So I stood there for a bit just looking the

Many of us spend most of our time getting our minds in shape; books, television, the internet we ingest it all.  Pity we don't spend as much time getting our bodies and souls in shape.  Total fitness should be our goal mind, body and soul.
