Welcome to Fall
The weather in my native North Carolina is finally starting to feel like fall. We routinely have very warm nights in October all the way to Halloween but this year we are already getting low temperatures in the 50’s and 40’s. The leaves are turning and the mountains are even starting to get frost warnings.…

Be True 2 You
How many masks do you wear? Are you one person at work? Another person at home? Someone else around your friends? Do you know who the real you is? A friend of mine on Facebook posted a meme today about being true to your authentic self. It struck a chord with me. I’m certainly a…

Evolution
Don’t get your panties in a wad. I’m not talking about diverging arguments on the origin of life. I’m talking about how we change as people. Maturity comes with time and experience. Note I didn’t say age. You can be in your 40’s and still act like a 12-year-old. I said maturity, all the changes…

Show a little love
You knew this day would come. It happens without fail. Every week of your life. Yes, it’s Monday. Stop whining. I don’t understand why so many people fear Mondays. We all know it’s going to follow Sunday. Maybe it’s because I don’t work a regular Monday-Friday job. Nah, I’ve done that before and I still…

Ready, Set…maybe next time
How comfortable are you? No, not your chair. In your skin. When was the last time you tried something new? How often do you step out of your comfort zone? Having a comfort zone can be a good thing. It’s where you feel the strongest, safest and most comfortable. When you feel secure, you have more…
