joiWee In PayNe

This time of year is bitter-sweet. Some people are happy. Also, there are a number of individuals who are despondent. The appearance one gives could very well be a mask.

tHe prYce uV giphTs

Have you ever had someone give you something and there were conditions a mile long? Is that a gift or a control mechanism? If an item is presented with terms attached, it becomes a contractual obligation! Some things in life are simply not worth it, no matter what it is. I would prefer acquiring theContinue reading “tHe prYce uV giphTs”

fuDe 4 thaWght

So many times there is a lot to take in and give consideration. I can recall the first time I heard someone say they were going to give another person “food for thought”.

yoU aRe the pURfect U!

We often seek perfection when doing certain things. Some would argue (literally) that there is no such thing as perfect.

PayshiNce is a VurChew

We are rewarded in many ways. The gift of awareness, understanding, tolerance, giving, wages, and so many more provide fulfillment. The gifts just keep coming. Calm is in a class all by itself. When someone does or doesn’t do a thing, the manner in which they respond makes all the difference in the world. SilenceContinue reading “PayshiNce is a VurChew”

Hand-outSource

Our hand can be out for a number of reasons, to give and to receive. We may be lending a hand or accepting one. Life is truly about give and take. There should be a balance between the two. A helping hand is bliss when needed. Also, giving does wonders for the heart and soul.Continue reading “Hand-outSource”
