Life and writing – beautiful metaphors.
Life and writing – beautiful metaphors. I wholeheartedly enjoy the ability to write and create my own materials in any situation I find myself in. Sure, I can write for the other guy, but when it’s just for my own pleasure, I like to give myself the opportunity to research and design materials based on my own creative needs, my own passions. The same holds true for those of us who present to live audiences. The same holds true for those of us who present in person, to live audiences; like teachers, lecturers, and public personalities, etc. It doesn’t matter which field you may be presenting on – all that really matters is that…
Creative and Inspirational People
Creative people have a deep respect for the very essence of everything around them. It is as if they have a thirst for all things new and exciting. Who wouldn't want to be around a creative and inspirational person? They are uplifting, kind, and filled with a wonder for life. They can light up a room by just walking in with a smile on their face. They are usually highly intelligent in their own right and don't flaunt it unless challenged in a negative way. They will bring you strawberries in winter, and sprinkle glitter on your papers just to make you smile. They draw you out of your head and make you think…
What battles should we fight

As innocent as the act might seem to some, in fact it…
Politics of Food -Vote with your Fork
Taken from my blog on Sugar: Getting to the Bottom of the Sugar BowlHappy New Year!It's the start of the new year and many of us are contemplating that dieting resolution. This week I was going to look at a little history surrounding food pyramids and then learn about the new USDA's Choose My Plate website. I was going to attempt to design a My Plate based on my own schematics. I'm such a novice when it comes to diet and nutrition. I can admit that. But at the same time I am willing to trudge along in hopes of maybe discovering something that will help me be more watchful…
Giants and Monsters Everywhere – On My!
Keeping with an October theme for Halloween, I thought I would address the Giants and Monsters in our lives. Be that our personal lives, our working environments, or where ever your giant monsters live. Giants and Monsters Everywhere - On My!It's not hard to image a time when you are sitting at your desk and the world is wonderful. You are on top of your game, coworkers respect you, your clients rely on you, and you get satisfaction from mostly everything you do. Life is good.
