This
Side of Rite
Routines are the
customary
and commonplace tasks, chores, or duties that we do regularly.
They
are pretty habitual and, worst of all, unimaginative. November,

Real
Strength
Some

The Livin' is Easy

of my favorite activities and places. That would be fishing in Northern
Ontario. Now, up there, the livin’ really was easy. A typical day
looked
something like this... August, 2004
Enough
is Enough
Too often, we
say, “enough
is enough,” to express our impatience and exasperation at something....
But “enough” can
mean to be
satisfied and feel sufficient. July, 2004
It
Is What It Is
Often, we have
things we hold

Independent Observations
I tried for
awhile to pull
these three observations together and make them one strong, meaningful
article. No can do. They're definitely "stand alones." May one or more
inspire you. February, 2004
Monkey
Business
It's the Chinese
Year of the
Monkey, after all. The year of Cleverness, Deception, Travel, Risk and
Novelty! Nothing to "resolve" this year, my friends. Time for a little
Monkey Business! January, 2004

unfortunate
places your mind can take you when you become overly dependent on it as
your source of entertainment. December, 2003
Goal-Full
or Soulful Success, Your Choice
I call these
goals “common”

everyone
else has. November, 2003

Fish To Fry

The
Spirit of Adventure
Besides
entertaining me with
some outrageous antics and humor, these coaches from Colorado,
Minnesota
and Ontario helped me expand my definition of adventure. July,

The
Yeah-But Whine
Have
you got a case of the “Yeah-But” whine? Stay with me here. “Yeah-But”
whining
is curable. June, 2003
Take
The Plunge
I just know that
I have a
new perspective on the old saying, “Take the plunge.” May,
2003

Taking My Time

Room

A
Boaring Tail
...So there's no
point to
this newsletter. Just some news to share, a story to tell and an invite
to St. Johns, Virgin Islands. I'll leave it up to you to find your own
insights. September, 2002
Do
As You Please
August is the
month that stirs
contrary and wild notions in me. August, 2002

throw myself
into a new learning environment. May, 2002
