How long can a person keep up the pace that it takes to keep dancing through the difficulties of life and its many relationships? Are you metaphorically dancing through raindrops; or dancing in the sweltering sun trying to get your daily to do list done? How fast can you dance?

Mothers have been depicted over the years in many ways - good, evil, self-serving, self-sacrificing, etc. No matter how you feel about your own mother on Mothers Day it's not a bad idea to acknowledge that you owe some of who you are, what you do, how you behave and who you become to your mother.

So do you want the Fairytale; or do you want Happily Ever After. These two concepts are often used to refer to the state of having a wonderful existence forever and ever. They are often used interchangeably but are they the same? I don't think so!

Its a new day filled with new opportunities. The first opportunity each and every one of us should take is to recognize our own inner magic and to tap into it. Yes, that’s right I said MAGIC...

Rain, Rain, Go Away, Come Again Another Day. Yes, indeed, LIFE has its ups and downs. Sometimes it seems like you’re sitting on top of the world and sometimes it seems like you’re a pothole full of rain in the the road that everyone tries to avoid but hits all the time. You see, LIFE Is Complicated!

Here we go again. It’s that time of year. We get bombarded with hearts of all shapes, sizes and colors: red, white, pink, silver, gold - even black. Any and all colors are used now. I personally like Valentines Day but know many people who hate it. How about you? Do you love it or hate it this year?

Even Pennies and Prayers Help. That’s what the sign the lady is holding has printed on it. She’s taken up a post at the busy intersection in front of the plaza hoping that the busy traffic pattern will allow people to reach out and hand her a dollar or two as they go by. Some sneer but some help...

Family relationships can be stressful around the holidays, but ties that bind families together last through time. Allow me to share my holiday story, �Two Sets of China, One Family Graced,", as a special thank you for visiting me online. I wish you strong family ties and a Happy Thanksgiving!

At Halloween we focus on magical and mystical, spooky and scary things. Well, relationships can be magical and can sometimes feel mystical and unfortunately are sometimes spooky and scary. Do you believe in magic? Is there magic in your relationship? Is it mystical; or is it spooky and scary?

Halloween is a time to pretend. Many kids and adults love playing let’s pretend. So why not pretend you’re making your own Love Potion Notion No. 9? Is there such a thing as a love potion notion? Maybe not; but that doesn’t mean you can’t create a Halloween Mantra about what you want in a partner!
