Opposites Attract
Opposites attract This is most commonly used within romantic compatibility, where our differences can have the ability to draw us together and keep us together. Although not all psychologists agree, this characteristic has been proven in science as well. My limited experience with over three decades of blessed matrimony definitively proves to me that opposites…
Trust
Trust Consistency builds confidence. Confidence builds trust. Ken Blanchard is a best-selling author of many books on effective management, leadership, and customer service. One in particular is “Raving Fans,” which tells stories of different customer service experiences as seen from an outsider. The examples reveal what customer service plus one percent looks like. The method…
Give up
Give up What picture do these words paint in your mind? Quiting? Stopping before the end? Unfinished? Broken? Incomplete? When we hear give up most often, there is a sigh of relief and a feeling of defeat all at once. We gave up the fight. We had to give up because we couldn’t finish the…
This house is filthy!
Happy 2025! This house is filthy! Someone very close to me uses this term, and sometimes it doesn’t always apply because filth can certainly be interpreted differently.

Communication Breakdown
Communication Breakdown This is the song by the rock band Led Zeppelin about a man who can’t put into words how he feels about a woman. Sound familiar? Every soul has experienced this dilemma in some form or another and at some time or another. Communication can be defined as the exchange of thoughts, messages,…
Little Children
Little children Those two words evoke a number of images, don’t they? Little children can be innocent, loving, sweet, and kind. Some little children around 2 years young can be the opposite, but I digress. Little children are sponges to their surroundings, always listening, always watching what their mom and dad are doing. Little children…
You can’t do it
You can’t do it Years ago, while a young boy grew up, life circumstances proved overwhelmingly difficult. A child of divorce made custody battles and emotionally charged visitations unbearable for a kid with no tools in the box to successfully manage. Blaming himself for things for which he had no control over became the norm.…
Where did you get your information?
Where did you get your information? In today’s world, we are each one inundated with a plethora of information. We have television, which is akin to a mankind demand of “tell-a-vision.” There’s also radio, words in print, and the internet. Of course, thank you, Alexander Graham Bell, for turning electricity into sound in 1875 and…
