Our DirtWe all have dirt, and probably lots of it. Some of our dirt is shameful and some of its outright embarrassing. Maybe some of our dirt is immoral, unethical and possibly illegal. Maybe our dirt is choice that we made to short-sheet an employer, short-circuit...

Cleaning; it's the upkeep side of life. It's the irritating drudgery that's always following us around with broom in hand. Cleaning is the voracious vacuum that's never satisfied, the frantic feather duster that spews more dust than it captures, and the less than...

Ever feel dead? I mean the kind of dead where life's lost its vitality, its meaning and every bit of its luster? The kind of dead that leaves you feeling entirely numb and completely hopeless all at the same time; being stranded in this limp kind of limbo where...

What would I do with a new start? I mean a really "new" start? Not something that looks new because we've vigorously spit-shined something that's old and caressed its finish to a new luster. Not some radical make-over of something that's radically old so that it...

Too often we don't appreciate what we didn't work for or had to sacrifice for in one way or another. Hand something to us with no effort exerted on our part to acquire it, and we'll probably exhibit some scantily shallow and rather quickly fleeting degree of...

What's love? That question is probably a topic to be debated. We've got a million different definitions for this thing that we call "love." It seems that we're in love with the idea of "love," but we're not all that caught up in the sacrifices that love will demand...

In large part, Memorial Day has devolved into a weekend that represents the onset of the summer season. It's something like the starting gun at the beginning of a race. It's the day that officially frees us from the doldrums of winter and gives us some sort of...

Larry Elder said, "A goal without a plan is just a wish." How many of us have a bunch of wishes that are nothing but wishes and become nothing more than wishes? As time goes on we get tired of wishing because they come to nothing more than wishes. We assume that...

There's really nothing inherently special about the New Year. Sure, the calendar turns over to the next year, but it's really only the next day which turns into the next week which eventually turns into another month and so on. We've placed some sort of magical...

It seems that Thanksgiving, at least the meaning of it all, is being lost somewhere. In many respects we've traded it wholesale for football, turkey, an insane variety of foodstuffs and an excuse for a four day weekend. In a lot of ways it's become more the...
