Allyson gasped in horror as a wave of muddy water from a nearby puddle drenched her.  She looked up just in time to see Tori Eggleston and her friends laughing as they drove away.              “You did that on purpose!”  Allyson screamed after the retreating Mustang.             “Are you alright?”              Allyson turned.  A young woman wearing a blue sweater...

 Who am I? Where am I going? What is my purpose?  At some time or another we may all have similar thoughts floating around in the back of our minds, for most, when these type of thoughts circle around to the front it will only be a flash of a thought, then gone and forgotten usually because of the fear, afraid of the unknown.   I have always been fascinated by the voyage rather than the destination. Deep...

A short time ago my wife got upset at something. I know this because I have been married for twenty plus years and we have gone through the emotional roller-coaster of marriage many times. She tends to speak very little and it has a harsh tone to it. I am sure that sounds familiar to many of you. I was driving around with my wife and it was pretty quiet in the car. Well it just so happened that I had a feel...

It comes at you suddenly; sometimes with no warning at all.  You have joined the ranks of the unemployed.  A whole range of emotions fill you:  Anger – How dare they; Confusion – Why me; Sadness – I’ve been abandoned by those I trusted; Fear – What do I do now.  You’ve lost your job.  Don’t panic.  This is time to take stock of where you are in your career life.  Are you happy in your career? ...

I’m thinking back to last summer one year ago last July, I was sitting in my back yard enjoying nature as I always do. I was looking up into the sky getting lost deep within my thoughts, within my mind I was wishing for a better way of life for my family. I thought about my children, how will they ever have a chance to be out on their own, I thought about enough is enough there has to be a way for the people...

The problem with living off of the value creations of others; or providing charity to the point of dependency that we discussed in, (Part 1) How Can I Find Happiness in Life Once Again?, was that there could be no valuable exchange between the parties which provided a sense of self worth to the other.  This reminds me of a parable that reads like this:  Parable of the Value Destroyer  A certain rich man,...
