Being an avid Facebooker, I have read many things concerning the recent tragedy that struck Newtown, Connecticut.  I came to the conclusion that Americans are wonderful, kind, loving folks that sincerely want to help during times of great adversity.  I have never read so many calls for love and kindness and prayers before.  So I…

I have been thinking a lot lately about happiness and why it seems to be so dang elusive to folks.  It appears that most of us are seeking after it and many of us don’t experience it nearly as often as we would like.  So, one of the most important questions in our lives becomes, “why is that?” …

Love, compassion, and understanding are all the underlying tenets behind every person that ever walked on Earth.  So, have you ever wondered why folks find it so hard to love one another?  There’s a short answer really…because they don’t love themselves.  Oh sure, the world is full of people proclaiming copious amounts of self-love, but… 

I Vote For…A Tender Heart!

Well, it’s election season and most folks are caught up in the hate; the anger; the rhetoric!  Friends in danger of deletion; permanent and temporary!  LOL  Folks polarizing to one side or the other and end up agreeing with things they don’t agree with, all for the sake of defending their side!  Crazy huh?  I’ve…
