Up Close and Personal

Standard

I took this shot of this cool little grasshopper in the front of my house.  Insects are living beings and members of the animal kingdom.  How very different they are compared to human beings.  You can click on the picture to get a closer look. 🙂

I Do

Standard

My daughter recently announced she is getting married next May, so this prompted me to post something about marriage.  I am so excited; I love to see two people get married.  If you want to spend the rest of your life with one particular person, and you can totally trust that person, why not get married?  If it’s because of financial reasons, children involved, or just plain being selfish, or any other excuse for that matter, then is it a genuine relationship?  No relationships are perfect, because no two individuals are exactly alike in every way.  The question is, can you live with these differences?  I found this article on:  https://www.psychologytoday.com/basics/marriage.

Who are You?

Standard

You may “think” you know who you are, but do you really?  You may get to a point in life when you want to have a deeper understanding about yourself.  Have you ever asked yourself these questions:  who am I; what am I doing here; where am I going; who and what should I believe?  The truth is you already have the answers.  You have to dig deep, go within, and be honest with yourself.  It might take a while to figure out who you really are, but you will if you express desire.  I strongly encourage you to meditate.  This is when you listen to the divine source and connect with your inner being to get all the answers.

Apology Accepted

Standard

We have all unintentionally hurt someone who put their trust in us.  In order to restore the relationship, you have to apologize to the other person.  True leaders acknowledge or “own” their mistakes.  Below are key components for making an effective, sincere apology:

  1. Respectfully admit you messed up.
  2. Take responsibility for your behavior or actions.
  3. Express remorse and say you are truly sorry.
  4. Ask what you can do (or offer) to make things right.
  5. Promise that it will not happen again.
  6. Make amends.

What NOT to do:

  1. Make excuses or rationalize your behavior.
  2. Downplay the situation by saying for example, “It was just a joke!”
  3. Turn it around and start blaming/criticizing the victim.
  4. Change the subject.
