WORKING OUT – DEPRESSION
Since Robin Williams’ death depression has been on all of our minds. And my guess is many of us, from time to time, have suffered from it in various forms. While I can get depressed, and have, it’s almost always related to an event. A big fight with my oldest child can send me reeling back in time to fights with my parents that were left unresolved and I become depressed. I have some depression triggers. We all do.… Read More

SOMETIMES DEMONS HAVE THE LOUDEST VOICES
I didn’t know Robin Williams. I met him a few times. “How do you do?” No eye contact. He politely turned away. He was not a one on one person; that is well documented.

Paul is staying at my house in Long Island for two days so we… Read More

The dictionary defines excuse as a “defense, justification, and an alibi.” Where as explanation is “clarification, account and enlightenment.” Despite their very different meanings we often make an excuse when we should be offering up an explanation. We should be clarifying when we are defending. Here in the… Read More
A BRIEF PAUSE
For the next two weeks Paul and I are taking a blogging break. We will be posting affirmations each day. But tomorrow we go into the studio to spend the week recording our audio book. We are excited by this. But between that and putting together our book tour and organizing what we will be saying and reading on the road, our proverbial plates are full. Not to mention it is summer and we want to gear up for the… Read More
