Positively Positive in 2019

Posted on 01/05/2019

Positively Positive in 2019 2019 is a wonderful year to focus on Positive Living. Last year my New Years message was on personal accountability.

Complaining – an emotional cancer habit

Posted on 04/07/2018

Those who complain are putting their energy into convincing themselves and their listener that there is nothing they could do to change things for the better. Hogwash!

Better your best… It’s sort of cute how in the Philippines, when a person is thin, they refer to that as being “sexy” – not meaning what Westerners mean by that. So in that context a thin person, not an unhealthy type of thin person like anorexia, but a person with the right weight for their height, or…

Add Accountability to Your New Year’s Resolutions

Posted on 01/07/2017

Add Accountability to Your New Year’s Resolutions The common social activity when January 1 rolls around is the feeling of “new hope” or the ability to “start again” with a new resolve. We give certain issues a higher priority, even make the proverbial new year’s resolution or commitment.

Community Validation Community Validation is an important if not essential part of developing and maintaining a secure and balanced life.

Course Corrections in Life

Posted on 04/16/2016

Wellness is the “pursuit of health lost” and at some point in time many people recognize that somewhere in life they got off course and they are unhappy with where they are. That is understandable yet it seems they get stuck in making lasting changes and keep ending up where they are, again. The reason is that they have not properly assessed where they were, where they are and finally where they see that they should be. To get from…
