What is 'right sized' you ask?  Let's find out...

Making it through the holidays is not easy sometimes, especially when two people have differing perspectives on what they mean to each other as well as how they treat each other.  Check out the story of a friend of mine who made a disappointing discovery.

Where is the 'real' spirit of Christmas?  You think you already know?  Let's compare and see!

"Tis the season to be jolly!" or is it?? Here are a few suggestions to keep from goin nuts during the holiday season!!

"Tomorrow! Tomorrow! I love ya, tomorrow! You're always a day away!"  That kind of optimism isn't for everyone, but it could be, if one knows how to change one's perception of present circumstances.  Do you know how?

Have you ever gotten tired of trying to accomplish a task and just want to give up?  Failure Fatigue is a real thing!!!

Sometimes, its easy to forget what's really important, so don't.  No matter how bad or good things get, be thankful. Some folks don't make it as far as you have, and if they have, they may or may not have what you have.  Simply being 'here' is the blessing, so give thanks that you're here.

Control is a test. It's a test of how you manage ‘your-self’. (two words), in a circumstance you don't control in order to regain control over the one thing you have control over and that is, you!!

Folks sometimes talk about 'goin through it'. That 'it' is usually adversity.  When life becomes more challenging that it seems it should be?  I work a three-step process to get through adversity.  Let's see how close your process is to mine!!

In 2019, I had the opportunity to meet and sing a little with Kamala Harris!!! She returned back to Seattle on her book tour, and here's what happened.

How long is too long to keep trying to accomplish something?  Do you know when to say 'when'? I had that struggle one day and came to accept a certain conclusion. I needed to surrender.

Anything and everything that has a beginning and an end is a process.  Some are small and insignificant, others are large and consequential. We humans are always going through one process or another and sometimes many at one time.  It was advised that I try to determine where I am in any given process.  Can you identify what processes you're in or have just begun or ended???

Time is the most valuable thing any of us have.  You can't replace it and nobody knows how much they have left.  When's the last time you considered how you spend your time?

If you're feelin a bit run down, a bit defeated, this episode uses a Tom Petty song to show a possible way out of it.

Some days, we can feel like we can't go on, like the currents in life are just too strong to swim against.  I know you're tired.  You've come so far though.

When your mind won't stop spinning, like a blender making a smoothie.  Take the lid off and you'll see a hole in the center and all of the other ingredients are whizzin' around and around.  Wanna stop your inner 'blender'?

The death of Charlie Kirk has exposed something in this country. Something, it seems, many have forgotten.  We may have to go back to our past in order to be reminded of the best way to get to our future.

Are you living to work, or working to live?  How can you tell the difference?  For me, a new job started an amazing list of events leading to one of the biggest phases of my life!! If it can happen to me, well......

Sometimes, finding the motivation to do what's needed or should be done is difficult to muster up.  Just a suggestion, do it anyway.  ESPECIALLY when it's something you don't want to do, do it anyway.

I've always thought being grateful and being thankful were one and the same.  I was wrong...

Sometimes, ya just gotta laugh at the situation you're in, with no real explanation or reason.

The game of golf can teach a person a lot about themselves. To develop consistency in one's swing is not unlike developing consistency in one's life. With golf, the idea is to complete a course with the lowest amount of swings or strokes.  In life, the goal is to complete a measure of time with the least amount of mistakes.

Life can be confusing.  Have you ever been in a mental space where you have so many things you could do, but you can't decide which thing to do?  Maybe start with something small...

Never forget...as bad as things can be, they could always be worse...

Making mistakes is totally human.  What happens after you make a mistake?  Let's look into that and see what's possible.
