The Father I Always Wanted - Over the years I have reflected on how my father treated his children and how much it appeared that he cared for us. My father had a really good job and he provided for the family. We never had to worry about where we were going to sleep or what we were going to eat.

On the Dotted Line - My dad used to buy a new car every year. In those days a basic Chevy was less than $2000. The organization he worked for paid him car depreciation each month. It was just enough to be able to be in a new Impala when they came out each year.

Are You Worried? - In my line of work as a Life Coach, I receive phone calls from clients with varying degrees of challenges.

Don't Miss the Exit - When I lived in the Orlando area I often played a game of “Dare” on my daily commute. Driving West on I-4 I would drive beyond Universal, beyond Belz Outlets, and beyond the Sand Lake exit. The next 2.5 miles is a straight shot toward Disney. Three lanes flying South on a Westbound road.

Divorce Is Not an Option - Being a newlywed is a wonderful and challenging time. Now married nine months, I find myself sailing through uncharted terrain, learning about my wife’s most precious needs, her complex, yet beautiful array of emotions, fears, frustrations joys and desires.

Finding Your Mission - Imagine being confronted with a "life or death" need to know what your true mission in life is. Many of us would probably be forced to reexamine who we are, and what we're really about.

Don't Be An Idiot - I used to own a 1985 Ford LTD station wagon. I didn't buy it new. You won't believe this, but I bought it from the proverbial little old lady who only drove it to the store and to church. It only cost me $4000 and, get this, it had only 25k miles on it.

By the Seat of Your Pants - Have you ever said, "I know I shouldn't do it, but I'm going to do it anyway"? Translated that means, "Every time I do this, I regret it. My friends have told me I shouldn't do this. I read somewhere that this isn't the way to go. But I don't care, I'm going to do it anyway."

Being Pruned by the Father - I should know better than to question my father. His perspective always seems to be a lot better than my own. My father has a "green thumb", a definite knack for anything that can grow in one's yard. He is always messing with some sort of shrub, vine, or tree. In trying to relate to my dad, one day I decided to dive into his world.

Celebrating Your Anniversary - My husband and I recently celebrated our fourth wedding anniversary. As our anniversary approached, we mulled over the many different options for celebrating our special day. When we finally sat down one evening to brainstorm the many possibilities, we realized that the most important aspect about our celebration was that it had to "fit" within our current lifestyle.
