My mother used to take me along when she visited an old lady
down a cobbled lane who had a crystal ball on her dining room
table and a pack of playing cards. My mother was superstitious
and really believed a lot of what she was told by the old lady.
She wanted to know what the future held not only for herself
but for me, her only little boy. I was about five or six years
old at the time, and used to gaze at the reflected images upon
the crystal ball of the sunlit window behind me and the lace
curtains, although the old lady would place her hands at either
side of the crystal ball and say that she could see the future
and told of what... read full article > >

1. The Law of StagnationThis is also known as first order change. First order change is a type of change where there really is no change.Hows that again? Pretty foggy, huh?Allow me to clear it up for you. Authors Waltzlawick, Weakland and Fisch, in their book "Change: Principles of Problem Formation and Problem Resolution" explain it this way:...A person having a nightmare can do many things in their dream - run, hide, fight, scream, jump off a cliff, etc. - but no change from any one of these behaviors to another would ever terminate the nightmare.In other words, you can have lots of action and moving around, without any real change taking place.A good example from the relationship world... read full article > >

Well this show just recently aired in Australia (so I may be a little slow here) but I got to say it was quite an emotional roller coaster! For them no doubt and to watch!Initially I was trying to get into the frame of mind of What would I do in this situation? Would I participate in a hoax like this on my family? Would I put them through thinking were set for life?At first I wasnt really sure if I would put them (my family) through something like this only to leave them devastated at the fact that they wouldnt be set for life, then as I begun to watch it unravel and seeing how cruel she had to... read full article > >

"Variety is the Spice of Life." This is one of my favorite
quotes, and how true it is. Is life not much better when it is
filled with a "variety" of the things we like? Of course it is.
It is inevitable that some things in your life will go wrong, so
it is nice to have other things that you still enjoy to fall
back on. Like investing, they always say, "Do not put all of
your eggs in one basket." The same goes for our personal lives.
The way to be happy is to fill our lives with a "variety" of
things that make us happy. If you have a variety of things that
make you happy, this decreases the risk of becoming unhappy if
just a few... read full article > >

While caring for my sweet elderly mother and trying to manage my rebellious father, I was advised to enroll them in an Adult Day Care program to give them something to besides, waiting to die, as my father would always say. I scoffed at the idea, as I couldnt even get my father in the showerso how in the world was I going to get him to go there? And what was it anywaylike a nursing home or something?A year later (and at my wits end), I decided it was worth a try after I went to see the beautiful Adult Day Care Center nearby. I pleaded with my father for weeks on end before he begrudgingly consented to go.... read full article > >

New life and adventure are as close to you as your imagination. Its pure magic.
Why? Because your imagination is the gatekeeper to your spirit of play.Remember, way back to those magic words, Lets pretend? They triggered play
instantly. Without effort, you transformed whatever was at hand into a new and
exciting experience. It carried you into a world where there was nothing you could
not do.As ethnologist Sally Carrighar observed : It [play] furnishes its own energy. Play is
a renewing experience, not a draining one. What a welcome companion to carry into
the minutia of ones daily grind.In todays society we are nearly overwhelmed by conditions that inhibit natural,

I am currently perplexed by the concept of outgoing mail. I mean, I understand it in theory, but today I tried talking to it and it didn't even respond. What's so outgoing about that? I think it needs to be renamed "shy mail" or "introverted mail". And besides, the reason a lot of people send mail is because they are not outgoing people and would like to instead express themselves in written form. So a new name for this type of mail is only logical. I would suggest names like Ralph or Hector or Agnes, because people don't seem to send mail to people with names like those, and thus the name would be ironic...I'm confused because I constantly... read full article > >

Every now and then something happens in our lives that makes us feel very unique within ourselves, in my case this was watching a football match. This was a very important game for me to watch as it was the team that I have supported for so long! In fact all my life I have been a Liverpool FC supporter, I have seen some great times and not so great times especially in the last few years. Yes! We won three trophies in one particular season and that was great but even then there was still something missing. With the history of this great football club Liverpool FC has the best record when it comes to winning the English League.... read full article > >
