Eleven Years Ago … On November 25, 2014, I wrote my 5th article. This one was serious. It was about fear and what it does to us both individually and collectively. I had been thinking about it for quite a while and had written a rough draft, but I didn’t know what to do with… Continue reading Fear Revisited

No Kings … Then, Now, or Ever!
Saturday, October 18, 2025 Today, the second round of “No Kings” protests are taking place in more than 2,500 locations nationwide. The little town I live in is one of the 2,500+.

Did You Vote for this Man?

For those who don’t and those who are diametrically opposed to my politics, I want to take a few paragraphs to explain how I came to those views. A lot of this article is video-based. I hope… Continue reading The Enemy Within
It’s Time to Stop Being Afraid!
Fear lies at the base of all misused emotion. I don’t mean visceral fear. We’re probably “hard-wired” for that and other base emotions. Emotions that rise from deep in our physical being are neither good nor bad. They just are. If you surprise a baby, the child experiences a visceral fear reaction. Visceral fear helped us… Continue reading It’s Time to Stop Being Afraid!
Be Yourself.
The obvious question when someone says, “Be yourself” is “Who else could I be?” … yet, we seldom ask that question. Why not? “Be yourself” is usually the answer to a question like: How can I impress her/him? What can I do that will help me gain a job/promotion?
