The Uplifting Empire: Chris Rathje

It has already been documented that I was up in the wee hours of the morning today. I strongly believe one of the reasons I couldn’t sleep was because I was meant to see a Tony Robbins infomercial somewhere around 4 a.m.
I know Tony is a gifted man who inspires many. He said something on [...]

I am working on about four different pieces that are in different stages of development. None of these are ready to share, but this simple thought is.
When we have nothing in a certain part of our life, something will do.

I have come to a point in writing Don’t Be Afraid to Eat Soup with a Fork where I have put together an outline and I am trying to figure out how the bricks fit together and what additions need to be made. I am toying with the idea of adding a section about reviewing [...]

I have so many topics on my list of things I want to write about today, but the words just are not coming to me. Some might blame the prevailing grey skies that are looming over me. Some might call today “gloomy” or “bad”, but I am starting to learn not to label things. This [...]

I have recently learned that in order to find answers to my questions I have to ask the questions to others and not just ponder them in my own head.
As a person who is not geographically connected to so many people I care about I frequent facebook. I am honestly fascinated when I read someone’s [...]

My beloved Honda Element has many imperfections and the vast majority is due to its owner and primary driver. The Element has countless scratches on it because of the clumsy nature in which I get my wheelchair in and out of the car and several slips of the hand while I have the key [...]

A holiday based around love is the most beautiful celebration I can think of.  Love is the most important feeling in life.  It is paramount to love yourself, love your dreams and love the important people in your life.
 
Something odd in society has happened where an anti-Valentine movement has arisen.  Some media outlets will lead [...]
