This post has a serious side ! Over last several months I became aware of several friends who had medical issues and also had withdrawal issues from alcohol. Two actually went to a facility for help with the issue. I took this as a wake up call. It made me think about how big of a problem this might be. 

I willing to bet that literally everyone has either done something and or said something they regret and would do anything to take back.  As many of you know I'm convinced there is something or somebody that had a hand organizing things.  I have no idea what it or whom it may be and open to the idea of "God"

I have been reading that Yoga is an endeavor that allows one to get in touch with their inner self, discover the meaning of life, contemplate the greater good, become more aware of their body, become: cheerful, thrifty, brave, kind, clean, reverent, and much more.

I love this saying/idea.  I first heard it via a Wayne Dyer lecture.  Of course, the word Music is not to be taken literally but rather to mean that we all must not waste the opportunity to pursue our desires, curiosities, and abilities.  It never ceases to amaze me how many people are doing things on a daily basis which

Like everybody else I’ve had several traumatic moments in my life which stands out as life altering.  Right up there in the top five was when the formula for 7-Up was changed.  As I (we) get older often fond memories of youth get revisited.  Although I spend at least fifteen to twenty minutes every day searching for my glasses, keys,

Yes, it has been an interesting year! But, it got away and I lost control. I have stayed very busy with both business interests and Law Practice.
