Lessons Learned in Life
It was Mel Brooks that once said, "Hope for the best. Expect the worst. Life is a play. We're unrehearsed." I've not had the best time of my life, but I have learned to accept the bad with the good. You don't know what life will bring your way tomorrow, so enjoy all that you've been given today. In 1992, I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, five weeks later I was attending her funeral. My...

We'll Meet Again Some Day
My daughter would be 17, had she not died during open heart surgery. For anyone who has lost a child, you know that the pain doesn't go away. We put the emotions to the back of our mind, as we go about our daily lives. Days like the anniversary of our child's death, birthdays and the holidays bring those feelings of loss to the surface. After 17 years listening to the song "Tears in Heaven" by Eric... (posted by Rose 2 years 167 days ago.)

Being Your Own Worst Enemy
Do you live your life with doubt, always trying to live up to the standards others set for you? Life can be filled with disappointments if we live each day seeking the approval of others. Remember that you are who you are because of you, not because of another persons perception of you. At the end of your life the only important question will be: "Did you live your life as you saw fit?" In all honesty, I can be my... (posted by Rose 2 years 177 days ago.)

No Prince Charming - You've Got To Be Kidding Me
It all started with, Once upon a time there lived a noble gentleman who had a little girl." Stop right there and rewind! Before we get to the end of this story, where two people go off and live a fairy tale life, I have to tell you that there is no Prince Charming. The sooner that we ladies wake up and realize that, the better life will be. The average woman spends her life waiting for that perfect... (posted by Rose 2 years 177 days ago.)

Envy And Jealousy: Big Ugly Monsters
Most everyone I know has experienced envy at one time or another. "Some folks rail against other folks, because other folks have what some folks would be glad of." Author: Henry Fielding Envy is an emotion, and it is not always easy to control our emotions. Have you ever read another writer's work and been jealous that your own writing has not reached that level or maybe one of your... (posted by Rose 2 years 177 days ago.)

Honor Them with a Dance
As I look back on my life, I realize that everything happens for a reason. I watch the seasons of my life quickly pass me by and I think about how we are born, we live and we die. I think of those so deep in their job that they neglect those around them. They put off calling those they love until tomorrow, but tomorrow never does come and then it's sadly too late. When you look at the word "hello," look at it as a dance.... (posted by Rose 2 years 177 days ago.)
