Want Peace? Try Forgiveness “The magic didn’t happen to him. The magic happened to me.” Amazingly, these were the words of abuse-victim Ben Bosinger after letting go of years of resentment toward his father. So what happened? One day, fed up with pain he’d been carrying around for so long, he paid a visit to his dad. The “magic” occurred while they were looking at Ben’s motorcycle in the driveway. “In that instant, when we both were bent down looking at that greasy engine, side by side, I forgave him,” he recalled. He added: “It was something bigger.....read more

“I did what I knew… when I knew better, I did better” ~ Maya Angelou 1. People will never forget how you made them feel. “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” “The desire to reach for the stars is ambitious. The desire to reach hearts is wise.” 2. Attitude is everything. “If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude. Don’t complain.” 3.

Finding My Zen How is your day going? If it's anything like mine, it's 24/7/365. And my crazy schedule would try to get 25 hours out of a 24 hour day. I once wrote a thesis on the effect of stress on the body and I am telling you it isn't pretty. Stress busters were common in the olden days. There were so many natural things that we did that took us to a place of joy; leisurely dinners with family, extended holidays, gathering with friends just because, reading a great book and pondering the meaning of life.

Living Life from the Gray area! I recently read an interview with filmmaker Lee Daniels in which he talked about living life from the gray area and I quote: "Even the most evil person was somebody's baby at one time.
