No this isn't a riddle, it is a concern. My neighbor just called to warn me there was a large bear between his house and mine and when my dogs were barking in the yard, he thought he saw it. Yesterday it was a big neighborhood dog strolling around, and today a bear. I have a fog horn and now I gu

It isn't complicated and it doesn't need to be. "Each of us is the only one who can give the other what each of us wants to have." I wish I knew who said it, but it is true. Do you ask for help when you need it? Most folks don't. I am finally in a place where I ask for what I need and don't worry

After posting a blog for the Under the Influence Contest, http://activerain.com/blogsview/4434788/under-the-influence--- I got to thinking about those people we love and why. Sometimes it isn't about influence, it is just about consistency and kindness and the feeling of ease that comes to us

Yes this is a contest entry, but also an opportunity to reflect on the people who have made a difference in my life. I don't generally think about this so this isn't a walk over for me. My Parents were my first influences. Each of us learns from the reality of our home and in my case my parents t

There are many things that are automatic for me. My mornings are pretty much automatic: I get up and let the dogs out, put the coffee on, heat the oven for my bagel and fix breakfast for the pups. I don't think, I just do. As the day goes on there are any number of things I do automately without

I have often wondered why providers and service people don't use their names anywhere in their tag line or advertising. "The Best Brokers" may be catchy, but I want to know who I am speaking to when I call. When you leave me a message, you don't say this is "The Best Broker" you say this is Harry
