Much of what we feel and how we feel is a choice. I sometimes forget that. And it pays to remember. Sure, we all have dreams, ideas, ideals, wishes, etc. And we must reconcile our wishes and dreams with reality and accept that no matter how hard we try, we won’t achieve all of those…
This post takes place over a few days worth of events, but bear with me. — Holy crap! I just found video that I thought I never had and it might make a huge difference in some people’s lives. For a few years, I hosted a student open mic night at a local community college….

After reading a few articles this morning, I came to a dead stop and asked myself an important question. Exactly what am I trying to do when I work to accept myself? I don’t mean just the “I’m OK, You’re OK,” notion. Yes, on many levels, life would be much better if we could all…
