We miss out so much in this digital fast paced life of ours. We are all so busy connecting on the virtual plane that we miss out on the messy but real stuff of life. We seldom have those real conversations that expose you for the human being you are. No, we are all...

Yesterday I posted a comment in response to someone’s post on Facebook. A few other people posted comments after me. This morning I check Facebook and I see that everyone else’s post had been liked by the original poster, but not mine. And this is someone who is...

During October this year I had a major falling out with someone over an incident involving my son. In my rage and indignation I vomited my disgust out on Facebook. This is an excerpt of what I posted at the time. “What kind of woman leaves a child behind at...

I am often stunned at how careful and secretive people are about their success and what made them successful. They are reluctant to share ideas and techniques with anyone else. It reminds me of that movie “Finding Nemo” where you have all the seagulls...
