I’m Old?

I’m writing this down because I’m old I know the rules I mustn’t think that I could remember these words Because I’m past it Over the hill On the long slippery slope To happiness Finally You though I was going to say something else Admit to being a has-been Admit that the world has passedContinueContinue reading “I’m Old?”

Not the furthest

Share a story about the furthest you’ve ever traveled from home. Freedom The furthest I’ve ever traveled was New Zealand, as far as you can go without meeting yourself coming back. That was 2-week meet the family visit so I saw far too little of a magnificent country. The most important trip was Sedona andContinueContinue reading “Not the furthest”

Rise Up

It is also dedicated to anyone who has had to fight to be themselves, and to the amazing women in my groups, all of whom have risenContinueContinue reading “Rise Up”

I don’t normally go for rhyming now, but it seemed to me that the message within the poem was one worth repeating any time that you can, in any way that you can. Hope it inspires your best decisions. LiveContinueContinue reading “Live!”

From your chosen deity or someone who wants you to be happy. Children My Children (or the concerns ofContinueContinue reading “Children My Children”

Does the Law of Attraction Work?

The Law of Attraction is a more complex thing to understand than at first appears. It’s often sold simply as: decide what you want, ask for it, you get it. It was quite a while before a guy I follow, Mike Dooley (www.tut.com), added “visualise, show up, do something.” That’s the Law of Attraction plusContinueContinue reading “Does the Law of Attraction Work?”
