While watching the figure skaters at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan, I came up with this theory on how we skate through life. If you think about it, just like a pro athlete, we spend years doing the same things over and over and get really good at whatever the program is for […]
Follow my blog with Bloglovin We think nothing of training our pets. We want them to sit when we say “sit.” We want them not to make messes in our houses, so we teach them what is and is not okay. If we have kids, we teach them right from wrong (hopefully), manners, and […]
The planets must have been doing something odd in the last week because I’ve been all over the place with my emotions. Oh, wait, Christmas is almost here. That might be the factor. As a kid, I saw Christmas as a magical time and not just for the presents. Sure, leafing through the Sears […]
Life is an echo. Whatever we give out comes back to us. If you share love, you’ll bring love to your life. If you talk about hate, you’ll bring hate into your life. It can’t be any simpler than that. Much of our adult mindset has been shaped by programming we received as children. Our […]

I want us all to be happy people. Regardless of our current state in life, we can all think better thoughts. Everything […]
The idea for this post came to me as I was drifting off to sleep. I am almost finished reading Goals! How to Get Everything You Want – Faster Than You Ever Thought Possible, by Brian Tracy. I have a few of his audiobooks and used to listen to them when I commuted to and […]
My phone updated itself, and I have no idea what was updated. I used to receive a warning to plug the phone in to power or take some action, and I would be informed about the updates. However, it now does this automatically. I saw the ‘Update Tonight’ notification on my phone and thought […]
