itZ alL wiThin reeCh

A phrase I’ve been hearing for a number of years is “reach out”. This is a way of connecting with others. In order to truly come together – we have to extend ourselves.

With so much to do these days, it is difficult to have harmony! Sometimes we just want to remove ourselves from our circumstances. This doesn’t make the situation(s) go away…they are merely set aside. Waiting patiently for your return. Multi-tasking is not the answer in this case. Prioritizing would be the better solution.

mAid uP trooTh

All dressed up. Pretty as can be. We do this to situations. If someone wasn’t in attendance, they are in for a real treat. The entire event is going to ‘appear’ to be all that the speaker wants it to be. You don’t know because you weren’t there. It’s going to sound as if itContinue reading “mAid uP trooTh”

tHe foUregottiN Wun

Being left out. The middle child (just kidding, I’m a middle child). How do we forget people? The phrase, “oh, yeah I forgot about him/her” comes to mind. Sometimes being an afterthought is the best thing going. It will keep you from expectations in certain situations. Truth be told, it’s the loss of the individualContinue reading “tHe foUregottiN Wun”
