I did not plan to publish anything today, but unfortunately I started thinking about taxes. It is very complicated I know, but to me it seems set up to make the consumer, that is all of us ordinary people, pay the brunt of it. When there is a deficit, and the debt ceiling looms, more…

Time is precious. Each of us is allotted a fixed amount of time, and like the sand in a hour glass it never stops flowing. We can add more money, things and people to our lives, but not time. There is only 24 hours in a day, and our days are numbered. I am very…

To love without limit is absolutely brilliant! What more do we want than to have an opportunity to be with someone we love that love us right back! Add good food, your dogs, a beautiful place near water and sunny weather and nothing can be better! There is no such place as heaven, we must…

Humans are wired! Our bodies are loaded with nerves and our brains with receptors. The mechanism is the same for everyone, but the response to stimuli is very unique for every person. This requires us all to be attentive to each other’s needs and wants. Our reactions are mostly defined by our experiences, and these…
