I Hope To Be the Person That My Dog Believes Me To Be

so first I must love unconditionally! — The finest thing that anyone could possibly do is to love unconditionally. I could not have a better teacher than my 8-year-old retired racer Greyhound, Oreo.

You Can’t Escape It

Forget looking for a way out — I am sure that you have heard (or said) it too. 1. I’m moving. There are too many problems around here. 2. I’m going to just drink wine. There is too much alcohol in whiskey. 3. I’m going to eat mashed potatoes before I drink so it absorbs the alcohol. …

Spirituality and AA’s Step 2

Finally got me thinking that there may be a God in my life — Step 2 states: Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.

Everything’s Possible So Don’t Deny The Possibility Of A Miracle

otherwise, you will shortchange yourself big time — Do you believe in miracles? If you do, how come? If not, why not? Is either answer because of what someone has said or is it something that you feel? Let’s look at the miracle of The Leaning Tower of Pisa. Construction was completed in 1372 and today the tower…

You’re Right Where You Should Be

so stop trying to move away — Experiences are either joyful or learning moments. That makes them a Win-Win! Joyful speaks for itself. Learning moments can take some thought. 20/20 hindsight can be a blessing. Look back on a bad experience you had by looking through the lens of today’s knowledge. …

What Do The Words I Am Mean To You

Remember Rumi says“You Are Not A Drop In The Ocean. You Are The Entire Ocean, In A Drop.” — Two simple words, I am, are very powerful. Say them out loud, “I am.” Now, what do you follow this with? What follows may be the most powerful choice you have ever made. Why, you may ask? Because they reveal what you see in your mirror of life, and what…

What Do You Choose To Do

because you have choices — “With everything that has happened to you, can either feel sorry for yourself or treat what has happened as a gift.
