Today’s challenge for me is to meditate on the words “truth” and “willingness”. These are really tough words to put together to come up with an “aha” moment.

Picture from: https://weatherfarm.com/community-photos/tornado-season-touches-down-in-alberta/ I was listening to some people talking in the shopping mall.

How do you become filled with joy when you feel like the bottom has dropped out of your life? The answer is simple and complicated at the same time. It is about finding a place to start… a place to take a simple step. For me, that simple step is usually to go through the […]
I have four friends tell me that I expect too much of them. This makes me laugh because I expect them to be exactly as they are… imperfect humans. I realize that they have an expectation that they must be at their best when they are around me. I am not sure where that expectation […]

Have you noticed that you do not laugh as much as you used to? Is it because you have forgotten how? Or, is it because nothing is funny? I think that when we do not laugh, we age more quickly and we pick up viruses more easily. If you think that I am wrong, ask […]
