Consistency
I have long
supported the concept of consistency. It is important in what I do for a
living, but it is important in our personal lives and relationships as well.
Don’t you know people whose lives seem to be a roller coaster of their own
making? Consider this…
Intensity makes
for a good story. Consistency makes for good results.
Word Power!
The spoken word
is so much more powerful than we know. Words can both hurt and heal. They can
destroy but also build up. What we say can educate or simply berate. Words can
sting but they can also soothe. We can use our words to encourage or deflate.

The problem is

Happy Memorial
Day!
Freedom is not

appropriate to remember on Memorial Day. Don’t forget the meaning of the
holiday and make sure that your kids and grandkids are aware of it as well. We

Just remember that while you enjoy the day and welcome the summer!
Have a blessed

In our
increasingly polarized world, where opinions clash and echo chambers thrive, it
has become more crucial than ever to embrace and encourage intellectual

Consider this quote…
“Argue

To
“argue like you’re right” is to express your beliefs and opinions with
conviction and confidence. We also need to do so in a respectful manner, and it
means listening and allowing another person the opportunity to express their
beliefs and opinions.
