We forget, ignore & don't talk enough about the title of this posting & how it impacts our personal & professional lives. All that takes place on this planet is about people. TEST THIS: Remove people & what you have left is worthless & has no meaning or value. ADD: People & it all comes alive bec...

Fine dining comes to mind to make the point of appreciating whatever you are doing, in this life, in the moment, savoring, observing & wanting the maximum out of the experience. It doesn't take effort to relax, enjoy & give thanks. The effort is misspent when we don't respect what is going on & p...

You cannot help but be a living, mobile, ongoing advertisement, deliberately or not of who you are. People notice people & wherever you go, there they are along with you. You see them, they see you. We all form an impression when looking at anything & people are out there for you (& them), to gla...

We all want to be loved & we do not want to be alone. The human being is made up of these two deep rooted ingredients that have to be fed & cannot be ignored.

Often, we rush to put another into a category (accurate or not) & make comparisons to gauge ourselves, progress & to assign a tag to it usually like "I am better" or "I don't do that" or "that's ridiculous" or labeling for absurdity, lacking or worse according to our beliefs not fact or fancy. Ju...

We take for granted that our life's consists of constant choices from the miniscule to the significant. The tiny here & there choices you don't even notice, pay attention to or care about as you go about your day. On a larger scale, going from point A to point B & back, maybe adding a point C, al...

From the dawn & origin of mankind, no two human beings are alike & no two journeys alike & all, without exception are unique just like we know we are one of a kind. Are there other people's stories (besides your own) that capture, motivate, inspire & encourage us, you bet. Our public & personal h...

Treating yourself well, maybe even special is not unusual for many personal reasons. Only you will know the sacrifices & the sufferings as well as how to reward to offset or balance your life journey. "All work & no play makes Jack a dull boy" cliche is not a myth. Haven't' you met ultra-serious ...
