One Girl's Story
I awakened again with that same fear. It hadn't been part of my life since the early 70's, except in a dream. With God's help I was able to leave an abusive and loveless relationship, to find something and someone I didn't know existed.

Bridging the Gap
As a young girl, I was not too close to my one sister, Maxine. We just did not 'hit' it off. We both grew up, went our separate ways with her marrying, bearing children and living in another state. Through her cancer ordeal, the bridge of our differences has been destroyed.

A Parental Game Of Chess
On a recent winter day, our son came home from school proclaiming a new-found love of the game of Chess. We were pleasantly surprised, as my husband has been trying to persuade him to try it for six years now. It seems that all it took was the knowledge that his classmates liked to play, and all of a sudden, he has dreams of being a master of the game.

Bound By Commitment
Sad these days, to see people check in and check out of marriages almost as fast as they purchase, use and later throw away and replace a disposable watch. Unlike watches, people have feelings.

The Human Side of Telemarketing
So who are telemarketers anyhow? We are young people with no skills getting our first job. We are older women returning to the work force after 20 some odd years as a stay-at-home mom. We are single parents needing to juggle raising our children around working outside of the home.

Happiness is Within You
Have you ever wondered why some people wake up in the morning as chirpy as the busy birds outside the window? While others wake up grumpy. Ever wonder why some people seem happy most the time, while others are withdrawn, sad, depressed or bitter?

Rat Race: Time To Check Out
From the working and business class of people, even students and stay-at-home moms who interface with their working spouses -- there is a lot of talk in the land these days about the "rat race." And not far behind that -- "burnout."

The Internet Fool Box
I have had the occasion to talk to a great many people about the Internet. The vast majority of people that I speak with in person who would be interested in starting a business on the web, fall into the same traps again and again. They believe that their computer is a "magic box" as long as it is connected to this thing called the Internet.

Nothing Is Wasted
So often in our lives, we judge our successes and victories by how much we do and how quickly we do it. No time, effort, or even misdirection or mistake, is ever wasted. The disappointment or dissatisfaction we feel may be just the push we need to go back to where we should have started in the first place.
