As a former worry-wort, I had to remind myself that everything was A-OK, frequently. Even if things do not appear to be A-OK – financial issues, domestic breakups, professional setbacks and general worldly loss – never trust appearances because illusions fade but your predominant state of mind remains true. Imagine your mind co-creating every situation
Bad things only happen to other people in other places, right? You know, like the places you see on the news, but not in places like your neighborhood and certainly on your street. Right? If it something did happen on your street all you have to do is call 911 and someone will swoop in
Ugh. My work day is not beginning in earnest until 3:30 PM. I did publish one blog post before life…..as they say…..intervened. In truth, I had to do a few things to prep for future travels. My wife helped me get my passport ready for mailing. Expires in February of 2021. She prepped the paperback
