Same Sex Marriage Under Attack

As atrocious as all of this is, the headliner is misleading, because only five of the nine have actually proposed to overturn same sex marriage. During his press conference, Schriver claimed that allowing same-sex couples to marry “undermines the legal and moral foundation” of the United States, and deprives children of a “fundamental right toContinue reading “Same Sex Marriage Under Attack”

Thoughtful Tuesday – “Why?”

Has someone stood you up or not been there for you when you thought they should have been? Maybe not answered a text or an email? You asked yourself “why me”? “”Why haven’t they texted back?” What did I do to deserve this?” “ I must be a horrible person.” “ I must be unworthy.”Continue reading “Thoughtful Tuesday – “Why?””

Motivation Monday – Anger Management

Hope is NOT a plan.

Saying to someone who may be suicidal, depressed, anxious or suffering any mental health concern, “I hope they get the help they need“ without any action to actually help them is no different then saying the exact same thing to someone who becomes critically injured physically who can’t help themselves and requires medical attention. WhenContinue reading “Hope is NOT a plan.”

Worry – Destructive path to NOWHERE

It is possible things could turn out better than expected. We tend to think we have a crystal ball and can know what will happen in our future. Or do we? Intolerance of Uncertainty will certainly destroy and leads to unnecessary worry. I say be prepared for anything but don’t worry about that which weContinue reading “Worry – Destructive path to NOWHERE”
