Dealing With Toxic People…… 5/24/26

Unfortunately there are a lot of toxic people in this world. Try to keep a balanced perspective; not everybody is toxic. But, when you run into them, the above advice is sound. The more you interact, the more it feeds their dysfunction. If you leave them alone, hopefully their toxicity will atrophy (waste away) or at least you won't be as affected by them!...

Trust …… 5/17/26

Trust is essential! Nothing good comes from trusting the wrong people. Here's a little handout that tells you who not to trust. Trust the right people. Peace, John See below I invite you to become a guest blogger. It’s easy - find a quote that speaks to you and write a few sentences about it and what it means to you. ...

What’s Your Blood Type?…… 4/26/26

What do you think would happen if you started looking more frequently on the brighter side of situations? Those of us who like challenges may tend to look at the difficulties as challenges for us to straighten out. Years ago I came across this short ditty that seems appropriate here: “two men looked out from behind prison bars. One saw mud....

Failing To Succeed…… 4/19/26

A little play on words there in this blog title to get you thinking! When you fail, do you give up? A wise person once told me that "winners lose more than losers." It took me a bit to figure out that may be because they take more risks, try more often, and persist through failure. They view setbacks as lessons rather than reasons to stop....

Becoming…… 4/12/26

Two things to understand about “process:” First, there are steps in a process. One step usually follows another. Second, most things “in process” take time. When you become impatient, think “process.” Try to look forward to what might be coming next. You might also look back and see how far you've already come. Perspective can be an important part of growing....

What To Do?…… 4/5/26

For years I've been fanatical about my to do lists. I’ve used at least a dozen apps or programs to list, categorize, organize and track them. At one point I became frustrated - at the end of the week I had put forth a lot of effort but it didn't seem like I had accomplished anything. I made another list and I maintain it to this day, my “DONE” list. ...

Self Care 101…… 3/29/26

This blog is a good follow up to last week’s. They’re both about taking care of your self. Make your self a priority. Don't routinely put others ahead of your self. Ideally you want to be on the same level with others. On a commercial airline the flight attendant will tell you, if the air masks should drop during flight, put yours on first before assisting someone else....

Givers and Takers….3/22/26

If you are a giver, think about this: Have you trained those close to you to be takers? If so, it's going to be difficult for either of you to change. Each of you have become set in your roles. If you decide to make a change and expect to get something back, please know that you are likely to meet resistance. ...

When? …… 3/15/26

Are you a “someday….” kind of person???? “Someday I’ll …….” Why not today? Better yet, whatever it is, why not schedule it? Yes, figure out when you can do it, commit to doing it on a particular day, put it on your schedule and do not let anything prevent you from doing it. Try this formula. Too often we have too many things on our “to do” lists, we get overwhelmed, don’t know where to begin and so --- nothing gets done....

Be Here Now!…… 3/8/26

Anxiety about your journey? Doubting whether you will ever get there? I'm sure most of you have heard the quote, “The journey of 1000 miles begins with a single step.” If you focus on the destination or the trials along the way, you might never get started. That first step has to happen in the now. Persistence will get you there, one step at a time, each of them taken in the present moment....

Heal It, Don’t Pass It On…… 3/1/26

What an appropriate post-Valentine's Day graphic? I hope you can forgive the language in the little green heart. I frequently ask clients about their family of origin and explore the patterns they experienced in childhood. This may be a key to some of their current difficulties. Most dysfunction is learned. People often learn to cope with the unhealthiness in ways that work for them....
