Focusing on Train Wrecks

I talk about regaining some weight, and how interesting it is that we all focus on the freaks. It appears the worse we behave the more attention we receive. Why do things that could actually inspire us to do better get little or no spotlight?

Don't Forget Mother's Day

I tell the story of buying a dress for my Mother's 59th birthday. Little did I know that she would be wearing it to her funeral. Now you may wonder why I would share such a personal tale. Because there are plenty of you who have Mothers and ignore them on Mother's Day. You're too busy to put any real time into a gift, a special thought, or card. Maybe you throw her a gift card. I'm telling you that while you have the chance to do more than buy her flowers - DO IT. You'll be glad you did. For the...
