The Goal - Part of a Motivational Series

THE GOAL







It’s like reaching for something far away. If you keep on reaching and running without stopping, you will obtain what you are reaching for. Persevering, not quitting, but going after it with all your might, as though you have to have it; that’s the driving force. Don’t look at time

as a barrier. Look at it this way, the years are going to pass anyway, so why not accomplish what you wish.



The battle starts in your mind, that’s where it is. It is a… Continue

Have you ever blown it? Really blown it?

We have the handiest man ever. Anything we point out - a corner of the railing which my son’s puppy chewed, painting, repairing a tiny hole on the screen around our swimming pool, or filling a crack on the cement. Yep, he can do it all!



Anything I point to fix, with a reassurance of a CEO in charge, he announces. "That’s what I do."



What a great guy! Repairs are a cinch for him.



But how about the repairs in my life? You know which ones I mean: broken dreams,… Continue

Happiness Is optional

If one wishes to be happy, they must remember that happiness is not having what you want, but rather, wanting what you have.



It is also a choice that one makes. We can live in the misery with painful memories of the past. Or we can choose to let go of the pain and start fresh. The experiences we have had can become tools we use to have empathy for others. When we have been in the same painful spot as another individual, we can ease their burden by sharing our own… Continue

Twas the night before publication, when all through the house



Not a creature was stirring, except my computer mouse.





A few author copies were stacked on the table with care,



In hopes that St. Oprah, would one day be there.





My children were nestled and snug in their beds,



While visions of royalty checks danced in their heads.





And hubby by the TV, and I by my dog,



I’d just settled down to write a new… Continue
