When in Doubt do Nothing
Kate was so confused. She’d just gotten the job offer of a lifetime as an editor for a magazine. The most amazing part was this involved a move to France, a country she’d always been in love with. It was a dream. However, when she planned a special dinner, to tell her boyfriend of two years, her good news, her dream turned upside down. Before she could drop her big news, Trent popped the big question. He’d been waiting until he got a permanent position with his law firm. Two days earlier he’d not only been offered a permanent position, but he’d been offered a partnership. This was an unheard of opportunity for an attorney so young. Now that he knew he could provide for her and their future family, Trent was ready to...
Prayer for the People of Haiti

What the People of Haiti Need
3,000,000 people were devastated by a massive earthquake in Haiti. As many as 100,000 may be dead. This may represent the largest one time loss of human life in recent history. The pictures of the carnage are so disturbing parental warnings are given before the news airs. In the face of this unprecedented destruction and tragedy it is easy to be overcome by the horror of it all. The human suffering is so extreme, so raw, and so real, that it touches all of us in a way that makes it feel personal. It’s so overwhelming it’s hard to know what to do to help, if there is anything to do at all. Let me be perfectly clear. The people of Haiti do not need your sympathy. They do not need you to feel their pain. The people of Haiti need three...
It’s Not My Problem
Yesterday a very close loved one, who doesn’t like me to write about him for public consumption, (so he shall remain nameless), had a crisis. This is the kind of crisis that breeds drama – and drama is seductive. When someone close to us has a problem, or is hurting, or is unhappy, it can be devastating. It’s easy to jump on that bandwagon, feel bad for them, worry, agonize with and for them, and generally get caught up in the energy of crisis – somebody else’s crisis, making it our own. The closer the person is, the easier it is to own their story. As for me, I can generate enough drama of my own that one would think I wouldn’t need to borrow from others. However, it’s a hard habit to break. I used to be the...
The Psychic Reorganization Opportunity
It happens – those moments that knock you on your ass. Every so often, something so strange, and bazaar, and befuddling happens that you just can’t make sense of it and it leaves you reeling – questioning everything. I once had a friend how referred to these moments in time as psychic reorganization opportunities. I think that is an apt description. Psychic Reorganization Opportunity: A moment or event that changes your perception of your own personal identity or fundamentally changes the way you view the world around you. A moment in time that changes everything. I have a very close friend who was recently arrested and detained on felony warrant which was a case of mistaken identity. For several weeks her life was suspended –...
