There’s a lot to be said for speaking your mind. There’s even more to be said for speaking it in a tactful manner. A lot of people these days are praised for running their mouths. For being crass. For being the type of “blunt” that isn’t productive. For telling secrets that aren’t theirs. They get […]
The old and time-tested often gets a bad rap. So much credit is given to the new and shiny, the sparkly and the pristine. It’s easy to get caught up in it, and it’s tempting to pass over all the good things that the established can offer. The new says, “Where do you want to […]
I’m proud to say that if I miss my exit or street, I won’t cut you off or blindly make my move, hoping that you see me and make room. I will proceed in a sane manner to the next possible place where I can turn around. I did this twice tonight. The first instance […]
Sometimes all I can do is chuckle at life’s way of setting me back a few paces — usually right after I’ve finished patting myself on the back about something.

Sometimes I feel all knotted up inside when there’s something on the horizon that’s necessary, but which I have no interest in doing or in being part of. If you’ve ever given a cat a bath — or tried — you’re probably familiar with their feline antics. Legs outstretched, some yowling and a tail hell-bent […]
I can’t remember where I was, but at some point last week I was walking into a store as a mom and her two kids were walking out. “People are human, mom,” the boy said to his mother. “We all make mistakes.” The boy’s tone was kind, his voice soft. He was holding his mom’s […]
