What is Soul?

Do you have one or is it an 'it'?  Can you feel it? Can you lose it?  Interesting questions that I am sure many philosophers have attempted to answer.  It is not a physical state, so hard to prove or disprove.  What is your soul?  Is it powerful, passionate and why you exist?  Is it the love you have for those around you?  Is it how you fill up your heart?  Or is it in your mind?  Or is it found in all the spaces in between?

A little something to think about today!

What are Your Rules?

We have rules in the world to keep order. People develop rules in their lives to keep order as well.


□ Some rules could be meant to control things, like – you can only have 1 sugary snack per day.

□ Some rules could be made to avoid difficult situations, like – we invite our parents to separate events because they argue too much when they are in the same room.

□ Some rules are made and then re-worked, like – we will go to church every Sunday; we will go to church every Sunday that we don’t have baseball that day; we will go to church when we can.

Rules evolve and change with the way our lives work. When we add kids to mix, rules change or new rules are made up. We use rules to help guide and direct learning and living a positive and healthy life.

Look at your rules. What are they? Have they evolved along with you, or are you holding on to some rules and continuously breaking them instead of letting them evolve?

Window of Opportunity

You have heard that expression – the window of opportunity – and usually there is something about it only opening for a short while. I am a non-believer in that statement.


I believe that the window of opportunity is yours to create. What you do with the openings, or chances, or opportunities that come your way, create your window of opportunity – and you get to choose what you would like to do at that moment in time.

Rarely, windows are provided to you, or described as such moments before they arrive. The opportunity is what you make out of what you see in time.

Go ahead – make more windows!

Flight Cancelled

SOOOOO much is involved in getting ready for a trip.

• passports
• tickets
• packing, how much does my luggage weigh, can I bring a carry-on at no charge
• organizing at work, deadlines, follow up, key contacts
• organizing at home, kids, newspaper, mail delivery etc
• books to read, movie to watch

It is exhausting.  But eventually, you get there!
And then, they cancel the flight.  It is enough to make you lose your mind.
Well, don't!
This is the epitome of what you can 'control' versus what you 'cannot control'.
It happened to us, we arrived at the airport in time to check in and the flight was cancelled because they did not have a pilot.  You would think, that being a regularly scheduled flight, not a charter, that people would be assigned...not so much with this airline I guess.
We were able to get onto the next flight and they even bumped us up to first class at  no charge.
Key to this:  we all kept our cool, when asked how they could help - we honestly told them how, we smiled and said thank you and were polite.  No causing a scene or creating mayhem.  Kindness and patience comes back to you.
