The Nudge We All Need
The elephant in the room says I haven’t been posting much. Who asked you, Ms. Elephant? Honestly, I probably wouldn’t have posted tonight, but I got a nudge from an unexpected source .

The FEAR of falling
But what caused all of this? I’m glad you asked. My family and I were attending a wedding. I was about 14 years old at the time. At this point, we’re at the reception. The Reverend asked everyone to stand, to say the food blessing. We walked in through the side door, having just arrived…

Something unexpected happened to me Friday. I had been feeling like the week whizzed by without me having reflected upon all that had transpired. Here’s an unknown fact about me: My goal is to accomplish something each day, so that I will have the feeling of, well, accomplishment (redundancy isn’t cute: I get it). Currently,…

Being contrite has it’s privledges.
You know, it’s sad when you don’t think that you need anyone for anything. That’s pride. I used to be full of pride, and didn’t even know it. It’s not impossible for me to be full of this undesirable trait at all. My group of, “The few, the proud, my friends”, think that because I…
