On Colleen Wainwright’s blog, aptly called The Communicatrix, she has once again written a fantastic post. This time it’s on the nuances of change - and how we think things should be in our lives vs. how they really are.

Funny stories, happy stories, sad stories, stories of romance and looooooove, stories passed down from our Dads and Moms, and boring [...]

In my always-on search for good writing, I peruse new blogs from time to time. Friday nights at 11 p.m., as my son lies sleeping on the living room floor…just for example.
I’ve been reading a blog for a couple months now that frequently offers some terrific writing. With a blog named “Wordsmith Extraordinaire,” one would [...]

When it bleeds it leads. That’s the philosophy of the news media. For centuries, the bad news gets the spotlight - above the fold in newspapers and the first 30 seconds on television news. (Did I just say first 30 seconds? I meant all 22 minutes of TV news programming.) We are our own worst enemies [...]
