In the News

There is, in my opionion, no fair comparison on the lives of Michael Jackson and the legendary anchor newsperson, Walter Cronkite. The lives were different and can not be compared; as a result, I had anticipated that the news coverage would be totally different. The news coverage on Michael continued for weeks after his untimely death and was extremely negative. I believe, and my opion is more than likely bias, that bad news makes money for our pseudo news reports and cable news stations.

Walter Cronkite's news was clear, concise and very informative. Compared to the over exposed coverage we receive on cable, Mr. Cronkite's news delivery was an art and it does appear that it is now a dying art form. To be honest with you, I have grown tired of sensational news coverage of Michael Jackson, Anna Nicole Smith, Brittany Spears, etc. etc. etc. This type of pseudo news continues because it makes money and the public love it. If we demanded more from our newspapers and cable networks, quality news would be delivered. Granted...my opinion is bias and may also be somewhat jaded.

Why do I fill every minute with my day with meetings, emails, and phone calls. Even on vacation, it was extremely difficult to relax on day one, day two and even day three. As a matter of fact, I spent the first day of my vacation reading and answering 500 emails. How sad!! How did I fall into this state? When did work become such an electronic burden? Americans have become slaves to work and technology. We don't take the time to share a cup of tea with a neighbor or simply w...

A Journey of Chaos and Clarity

For the past twelve years, my life has been a total mess, surrounded by chaos. Through chaos, clarity surfaced and I am regaining balance in my life again. What a beautiful journey. This journey occurred after I prayed for God to change me in 2000. Since I had prayed a similar prayer in 1981, I did not face the journey with fear. Some of the most important lessons, I have learned on this 12 year journey are follows: 1) Seek and demonstrate unconditional love, and Learn to love yourself. 2) Remove toxic friends and relationships from your life. 3) Forgive those who have caused harm in your life. This forgiveness is liberating. 4) Be opened to love and seek adventure. 5) Turn your life, dreams, needs, desires and hopes over to God. 6) Live each day as if it were your last day on plant earth. 7) Find out which talents bring you joy and peace. Used these talents. 8) Continue to breathe and never stop dancing...it is good for the soul. 9) Take care of your body by ...
