Is That Right?
One of my favorite songs is, Grandpa, by The Judds, which was released in 1986. One of the lines in the song says: Grandpa, tell me ’bout the good ole days…when the line between right and wrong, didn’t seem so hazy. Today the line between right and wrong is not only hazy, but, right is…

Dear Self
Dear Self, The world was such a wondrous place. You were excited, curious, and ambitious. You couldn’t wait to turn 16. You got your driver’s license and could explore more things.

Overcome Evil With Good
There are times it feels so dark here. It feels darkest when my focus is on the world or on my own personal needs. You told us not to be conformed to this world. You told us by the renewing of our minds, we can prove what is good, and acceptable, and your perfect will.…

Surviving Narcissism: Lessons for Empaths
A narcissist is defined as “a self-centered personality style. It is characterized by an excessive preoccupation with oneself and one’s own needs, often at the expense of others.” No single definition is sufficient to truly understand this personality.

The Real World
The quote, “It’s not what you look at that matters, it’s what you see,” by Henry David Thoreau, keeps popping in my head. We can look at the same thing, and interpret it in different ways. I’m sure you’ve heard the glass half empty, half full scenario. We can look at a situation and see…
