Black Friday - the day retailers hope will put their books “in the Black” - ie - make them profitable. The problem? The nonstop media coverage of impending disaster clashes with the consumer-driven ads this time of year. The result? A sense of Hopelessness and Helplessness. Heaviness of heart.

My friend Peggy from Hawaii reminded me to pick up Viktor Frankl’s book, “Man’s Search for Meaning,” at exactly the right time. We all have times of regret in our lives. Times where we wonder why we went somewhere, made that choice, got involved with someone.

Is it just me? Or is everyone having a bad day! You’ve said it. You’ve noticed days when people just seem to be off. It happens in Phoenix the first week of extreme hot weather– like today for instance: 117ยบ with 4% humidity. Arrrrrgh. We all get a little wiggy in the Valley of […]
The way I see it, Cactus is the most resilient plant in the desert. If you find yourself stuck out on the desert and you can get past the thorns, its fruit will save your life. The same goes for us human critters. If we can get past the thorns of our own life, what we find in our core will save us and sustain us.
