CONGRATULATIONS TO PAUL!
It’s midnight and I have stayed up and waited for the end of the Grammys! And it was worth it. Let’s all give a boat load of gratitude that Paul Williams and the other talented group of people who made the album RANDOM ACCESS MEMORIES were rewarded tonight with Album of the Year at the Grammys!

BIG BAND IS WATCHING
I sometimes write blogs for this site and post to my own site. Today time I am doing the reverse. Paul and I are deep into deadline, so we might not be posting as many blogs for the next month. Bear with us. But this blog belongs here because we are all about self-improvement. One of of the biggest addictions people have is to food and sugar. One of their biggest problems is being sedentary and not working out. So… Read More
CREATION IS THE PLAY OF LIFE UPON ITSELF
When it comes to fear, there are a number of things I observe in my own behavior and the behavior of others. When the forms of our lives disappear we get scared. No form is permanent and at some point in everyone’s life, all forms, no matter how substantial they look or how important they may be, will disappear. The forms of our lives, our relationships, careers, health, wealth, our bodies and stuff we own, even the feelings we’re having… Read More
MARIJUANA WAFFLES
Actually, the headline should be “marijuana waffler.” Even as I type this I’m not sure I want to share my thoughts on the subject of ‘Legalizing Marijuana”. I read Tracey’s powerful anti Legalization blog and found many of her arguments compelling. I have the same concerns that she does. Addiction is rampant around the world and I don’t want to see anything done that encourages or increases the probability of kids getting high. That thought deserves a paragraph of… Read More

POTTED
This blog post reflects my position and my position only. I have no idea what Paul thinks of the legalization of marijuana. He is on a plane, likely over Colorado and we have never discussed it. But I feel in light of the fact we are a site that deals with addiction in all its forms, we, make that I, need to address this issue. We are not about substance abuse per se, but there is no way we can… Read More

MEMORIES
It’s a new year. And it’s always the same. On January 1st, 2014, I find myself zipping into the future wondering where I’ll be and what I’ll be doing come January 1st, 2015. I haven’t even written 2014 on a check yet and I’m already wondering about that distant date. That’s wondering, not worrying. I’m amazed at the surprises the year provides and the twists and turns I couldn’t have imagined. I’ve begun to realize that even what looks… Read More

WITH GRATITUDE AND TRUST EVERY DAY CAN BE NEW YEARS!
Today marks the first day of the New Year. January 1st, 2014. For the last several days, in fact, most likely since Thanksgiving many people, (my guess is far too many people) have been over indulging in a variety of ways. Perhaps you have been over indulging for decades. Many have been over eating, over drinking, over spending, under exercising, generally engorging themselves on life with the idea that come January 1st (that would be today) they will put an… Read More

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
“I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You’re doing things you’ve never done before, and more importantly, you’re Doing Something So that’s my wish for you, and all of us, and my wish for myself. Make New Mistakes. Make glorious, amazing mistakes. Make mistakes nobody’s ever made before. Don’t freeze, don’t stop,… Read More
A BLOGGING BREAK
Grateful folks need a break to charge up their grateful batteries. That being the case, Paul and I are taking a little holiday break here. We will be back after the first. We will try and put up some affirmations in the next week. But if we don’t, know we are thinking of all of you. I am taking a vacation with my family. And Paul is taking some much needed downtime and I think playing a little golf. We… Read More

THE WORRY WARRIOR AND THE ZOMBIE ZOO
One of my favorite movies is “Shaun of the Dead”. It’s a very funny film written by Edgar Wright & Simon Pegg, also director and star, in that order. There’s a running gag in the film where the lead actors are surrounded by zombies but never see them. It’s an industrial strength take on the old Abbott and Costello bit where Lou Costello would try to get Bud Abbott to turn around to see the monster. By the time Abbott… Read More
