I want to see an 8 hour debate between our presidential candidates. Wouldn’t that be something? Let me explain. I have always been a little frustrated as I watch candidates debate.

Sometimes we get stuck We are going along in our lives day in and day out…week in and week out…month in and month out…when we find ourselves in a rut…stuck. Or it may be that we are tackling an issue at work and have thought about it and thought about it…looked at the issue from … More The Un-Stuck Walk

Today’s post will be short.  It is short because the idea I am going to give today is a very simple one. A simple idea that may have HUGE benefits to both you as an individual and those around you. And the idea is to… Just Wish Happiness Yup…just wish happiness for the people you … More Just Wish Happiness

This post comes from my “old” blog and I thought I would repost it here.
