To float or forge?

A time comes for each of us when something does not go according to plan. Working hard or doing all the right things doesn’t grant us immunity. What happens next, is entirely up to us. There are people who use their event as license to stop trying. It’s as if they got a special pass to [...][...]

Yum!

After being nipped yet again by a seemingly relentless horse fly, Cheryl said, “I must be delicious…he won’t stop biting me!” We nearly fell off the park bench we were laughing so hard!  What a fantastic way to look at someone or something taking a bite of us, “I must [...]

“Wow! That’s Beautiful!”

I rounded a familiar corner and was surprised to see only one lane of traffic where normally there are two. What happened? There’s no construction. As I waited for the light to change, I noticed a student driver sign prominently displayed on the roof of a car ahead of me. When the light changed, [...]

“Playing with Barbie”

The weather was sunny with the slightest breeze and I was off to an antique show.  I love antiquing. Treasures. As I approached the last booth, I was suddenly paralyzed by something in the display case.  A 14K gold hook and eye pin that transported me back 35 years into the kitchen of my childho[...]

“In perfect harmony…”

Playing out right before our very eyes, in national news, is a real life situation with “Flip-Kick-Listen-like” techniques being applied. The exact details of what took place aren’t of interest any longer. It happened. Let us instead examine the resolution, the “what now?” In lif[...]

“In order to thrive…”

Sometimes I struggle  before admitting to someone what they’re doing (or not doing) doesn’t work for me.  I envy folks who have rock solid boundaries. Establishing boundaries is like building a new muscle, it requires strength training. Have you ever recalled the scariest movie you’ve ev[...]

Rocky Balboa “It ain’t about how hard you hit…”

Gail Snow Moraski gave me an 8 x 10 photo of Rocky. He had just raced up the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, his arms raised in triumph. I cherished it so much, I taped it to the back of my bedroom door. I looked at it each morning before I started my [...][...]

“ice cream man!”

There are times in life when I’m transported directly back to a  place of innocence. Like hearing the tune as the Ice Cream Truck approaches my neighborhood.  I remember frantically gathering my nickels and dimes as I yelled to  my mom, “Ice Cream Man!” Standing in what seemed[...]

A dream position

“Auntie, I need some advice”, the text message read. Within an hour, Kerri and I were sitting on the wall at Wollaston Beach weighing the pros and cons of the situation.  Kerri, a recent college graduate, was thrilled to be moving to Virginia in 2 weeks. That is, until she got an email offering[...]
