They might be. No, I haven't lost my senses. Just consider this before you come to a conclusion (about either the magic or my sanity). I've noticed that we're much more likely to achieve our goals if we tell someone about them. If you think about it, you'll agree that it's true. So what's the deal? Certainly the act of ...

 What other options are there? If incandescents use too much electricity and florescents are hard to dispose of, what choices do we have? I'm seeing a lot of LEDs in autmobile uses (and holiday lights, too). I'm sure some smart scientist is trying to create something that would take us to the next step.  Does anyone have any ...

I have been married 40 years, I am 59 and am a spendaholic. I have been following Dave Ramsey's plan and trying to get my credit cards paid off. We have no money and no retirement. Is there any hope for us? B. Yes, there is hope for B. It might take awhile and may not be easy. But just because she didn't overcome her spendaholic ...

Part of accomplishing any goal is the daily discipline to take the next small step. So don't let yourself be talked out of doing the small things. Successfully doing the small things will guarantee the success of the big things.

I'm finding that remembering to be thankful takes concentration. It's not something that I do naturally or automatically. So reminding myself is essential.

Trying to change our behavior is often a challenge. Especially if it's a long-standing habit that's been repeated thousands and thousands of times. But, just because it's a challenge, doesn't mean that it can't be done. In fact, when you stop to think about it, even behaviors that you've had for years can be changed in a ...

Finding things to be thankful for is a bit of an art. And, unfortunately, an art that many of us are unfamiliar with. Have you ever noticed how when you buy a new, red minivan that you'll notice all the red minivans on the road? The reason is that we're looking for them. There aren't any more around than yesterday. You're just of a ...

Today we begin a new goal for the month of November - working on being thankful. We selected that goal for a reason. When we're looking for a reason to be thankful we're looking for things that are good. We're focused on the positive. Not the negative. So no matter how you feel right now, spend some time today looking for something ...

I've noticed that it's very easy for me to see a situation and quickly come up with all the things that can go wrong. In fact, I've probably even thought that it was a good thing that I did so. I've always felt that if you know the worst that can come out of an event, and you're willing to accept that, then you can go in ...

I don't recall it's name, but I believe that there's a law of physics that says that a body in motion will continue to move in the same direction unless some other force influences it. For instance, if you roll a ball across the floor it will continue in the same direction unless something (say a wrinkle in the throw rug) causes it to ...
