Leadership comes in all ages and knows no boundaries. I had the privilege of being invited to joi Ohio State University athletes (Go Buckeyes! was the cheer) and Soles4Souls on a shoe distribution to Costa Rica. The athletes may be from the same campus; however, most of them didn't know one another. The ride from the airport to the "home base" in Costa Rica was relatively quiet and uneventful.

Have you ever wondered why one person seems to get all the lucky breaks and others get none? Why it is that some people seem to meet just the right people and others never do? Why does one person become a millionaire, while another is broke? Why do some athletes become Olympic stars and others never quite use their own full potential or get out of their hometown? Why do some people have their own successful companies, while others can just never get ahead? Why are some peopl

Difficult people turn up in everyone’s life from time to time. They show up as co-workers, bosses, friends and relatives. We all know when difficult situations are left unaddressed, it won’t get better. In fact, it usually gets worse. You simmer and stew until the situation erupts into counterproductive conflict, which could lead to others thinking of YOU as a difficult person. But what happens when you’ve been to the classes, practiced the techniques and addressed the situa

Wouldn't it be wonderful if you could own a magic bow and arrow that had an arrowhead filled with love and shoot people with it when they are being mean, hateful, nasty, or spiteful. When the arrow hit them, it would spread love and joy throughout their hearts and bodies. They would immediately turn into the kind, loving people you'd like them to be. You can have such an arrow. While no one can tell you where or how to get it, you CAN acquire it! This arrow is called "Charis

It looks like I may sell this house. While I’m very excited about being able to literally move on after my divorce 1 ½ years ago, this house holds so many memories. Good and bad ones. I like to focus on the good ones. My daughter brought a song to my attention last year that says so much. It’s by Miranda Lambert titled “The House That Built Me”. This song produces such strong emotions that it can make me cry within about 3 seconds (I am a bit of a crybaby).

We all walk the Path of life. What Path are you walking? Is it the Path you would like, or is it one chosen by someone else, possibly forced onto you? If you are like most people, it is, unfortunately, not the one of your choosing. We are a product of our environment, or so the Sociologists ...

In a neighborhood in South Dakota, a mom and her three kids lived in a nice neighborhood. Because she was a widow, the community was very helpful and supportive of her when she moved in. They would bring her homemade meals, desserts and even offer to baby sit while she found a new job. Of course, this woman was very happy about the support and such that she received. The man who lived next door would often come out and talk to her over the fence. She enjoyed gardening, so she

Domestic violence is a global phenomenon which has, for decades, been a scourge in society. However, the fact that it has been in existence for ages can never make it acceptable. Instead, it places a greater responsibility on modern society to find new approaches to deal with the problem so that it can be eradicated or at the very least, significantly decreased. There are many agencies and organizations worldwide involved in the battle against domestic violence and it is hoped that their strong synergies will yield productive results in the very near future.

As I work with people both personally and professionally I notice that all have been hurt at some point in their life. Some so deeply they haven't recovered. This affects their professional life as well. Some signs I have seen are: anger in the workplace, demoralizing a coworker in front of others, and quitting too soon.

The sole survivor of Yemenia Flight 626 could barely swim and didn't have a life jacket. When Bahia Bakari's airplane crashed into the stormy Indian Ocean this week, killing 152 other passengers and crew, the 12-year-old girl suddenly found herself in the watery darkness.

At one time at our office we had a day care. It was complete with a classroom, an area sectioned off for indoor play, kitchen, and outside playground. There was a full-time monitor/teacher and lots of little munchkins around the office interrupting us during the course of the day. It was great ...

Around the time that the Sage, Mencius, lived, a great stirring was occurring in the hearts of humankind. German philosopher Karl Jaspers (1883-1969) referred to this time as the Axial Age, where axial means pivotal. Masters of wisdom appeared in India and Greece, as well as his home land, China. It was the time of Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Lao-Tzu, Buddha, the Indian writers of the Upanishads and the Bhagavad-Gita and Isaiah of the Old Testament, among others. It was also the time of Confucius and his disciples, the writers of the Chinese Classics, The Four Books.

We women have been mastering our multi tasking and organizational skills from such an early age. Remember those “days of the week panties?” Those vivid memories of getting ready for school, digging from my bureau Monday’s pink floral selection to start the week off perfectly, make me smile. We were laser focused at the onset committed to matching our panties to the correct day of the week. If laundry wasn’t up to snuff, there would be hell to pay for all those who got in the way of our tumultuous whirlwind.

You ask me how walking my dog led me around the world? I'll tell you and it's no tall tale. I was walking my dog in my neighborhood as I do every other day. I smile as I pass my neighbors while my dog greets the other dogs. My neighborhood is one of those special places where people do stop to have a brief chat. You pass the same people often so eventually those brief chats add up to learning more about each other. This was one such moment.

Ask any parent what they want for their children and they will say happiness. But what can parents do to insure their child’s well being? Imagine a scene. Soft warm lighting, gentle sounds.

This scene has been repeated endless times.

In 2005 David and I went to see the Rolling Stones at Madison Square Garden. It was our way of celebrating our 50th birthdays, which came three weeks apart.

rnOften, I have been asked why I wrote my book, Farewell, My Friend (FMF), so I have decided to tell you. My husband’s battle with lung cancer was an arduous journey for both Rick and I. It is a journey that many other caretakers have or will have to take during their lifetime. FMF is intended to be a guide to assist you or your caretaker in managing the many details associated with an illness and, sadly, the death of a loved one. Throughout my husband’s illness and until

Driving is exciting and it is an excellent and independent experience. But driving is not just about enjoying the freedom because it comes with a lot of responsibility.

It's true that guys need male mentors who can shepherd them into the advancing stages of life. But I've lately come to realize how some of the most important mentoring relationships I have had have been with women. I was brought to this realization through the miracle of modern technology.

Hibe ating (from the cold).....What's it good for?? As I travel on my spontaneous journey, I am eager to see the places I am visiting. I have made some sacrifices to take this journey so I want to get all the pleasure from it I can. I am currently in the city I was most looking forward to visiting, Nashville. Not only do I like warm weather, I also like live music (and yes, I'll admit it, country music).

The power of language, and its workings on my sub-conscious mind, never ceases to amaze me. Words have feelings and emotions attached to them, by our association. When I say the word MOTHER, every single one of you experienced a different feeling and emotion. Your subconscious received that communicated word, via your emotions and feelings. We often believe that it is the actual words producing a particular state, when in fact it is our associative perceptions of those words that communicate. Recently, I was watching a program about Louise Hay.

From last 48 hours I have been HEARING music continuously. Sounds crazy!!! Is Music heard or listened!!! Obviously, it’s listened and enjoyed. But, let me reiterate I am hearing it just like any other noise around. That’s where I draw my inference that we are at the nth level of sensitivity. We call ourselves as sensitive to others. Being considerate, thoughtful, sympathetic is all what we were taught since childhood. But, I question myself – Do we really realize its si

We live in a very busy, very chaotic, interconnected world. For most of us, it feels like we’re “on” all the time, always rushing from one thing to the next, and it’s as though there simply aren’t enough hours in the day to accomplish all that we’d like to do. We have personal and professional goals, but we also need to raise our children, nurture our marriage, and care for our ailing parents. Somewhere in that mix, supposedly we’re also mandated to eat a health

What is Anger?

“Hey, dude, I’m a teenager. Whaddya expect from me? Kids my age tend to be a little raunchy at times. We like to hang with our buds and make fun of people. And video games . . . man, I live for video games! Pops says they make me angry — some of the games are a little violent, you know? But pops doesn’t know what he’s talking about. He says that I should fill my head with positive stuff and that I should start treating people with respect. He says what goes around comes around. He says stuff like you are who you associate with, and you get from the world what you put into the world.

Everyone has problems. People everywhere, and for all time, have been searching for an answer to the great mystery of human folly and self-inflicted suffering.

A popular topic of discussion these days has been making use of energy from the sun, or possibly the lack of use. It is the case that action is more important than simply declaring the advantages that any alteration can bring. One of the most outstanding advances in the cause to save our planet has been solar power. Old generations were able to use solar as a means for storing heat. There are other alternative sources of energy but solar energy may be the most practical of al
