I contribute to this blog when I am motivated to do so, but not because it’s been X amount of time since my last post.  In so doing, I hope to provide quality over quantity.

I welcome your comments!

S^!T WILL HAPPEN

A short while ago, a friend of mine posted a meme that read:

Shit will happen. Life will suck.
It’s how you handle it that makes the difference.

This is an age-old lesson, taught by many. The wording is often different, but the message is unmistakable. Maybe because it’s so simple. For me, it was Wayne Dyer’s delivery of it that hit home. I remember him saying…  (more)

LET’S STOP EMPOWERING PEOPLE
