Personally I think the catch-all diagnoses of ADD and ADHD are over-rated. Now hang on before you toss out your Ritalin! Our modern-day theme for handling our issues seems to be based on being diagnosed with some condition, then being assigned to it entirely and then adding that you were born with it. I mean after all I…
Been awhile, I must say, since a blog has bubbled out of me, but it’s time! Haha Have you ever seen the bumper stickers that say, “No Fear?” Great advice for living, but saying it and living it are two totally different animals. Fear is perhaps the most detrimental thing that can happen to a…
We’re all familiar with cause and effect, right? If you introduce a certain cause then you get a certain effect. If you mix two parts hydrogen with one part oxygen you get water, over and over and over again. But, what if the cause isn’t related to the effect? What if what you think is…

Not too long ago we had one of those famous, intense, passionate Washington discussions about that very subject! During these heated debates it is not uncommon for the discussion to go on…
I bet when you read the title about “Mind Control” it made you flinch a little right? Do you remember in the 70’s when people were all concerned about “brainwashing?” The basic idea was that when you got into some group (i.e. cult) the members would feed your mind certain thoughts and inundate you with…
Have you ever felt like your mind was running all over the place? You know what I mean, right? It’s those times when your brain is filled with so many thoughts; many of them anxious thoughts and you can’t seem to get things settled down. Have you lost your marbles? Why does that happen to…
