Shit Happens, Now What?

We all have shit happen.  How we deal with that shit makes all the difference in the world.  Do we go cry in a corner or do we get up and make lemonade out of lemons?

Remembering 9/11

September 11, 2001.  We will all remember that horrific day.  A terrorist attack on U.S. soil.  The Twin Towers are gone, the Pentagon was hit and Shanksville, Pennyslvania will always be remembered.  The terrorists used our own airplanes to do their dirty deed.  Where were you that day?  What have we learned from the evil acts of others?

Remnants

What is a remnant?  It's a fragment or a scrap. What do you do with them?  We all have fragments. Memories, photographs, places we've been to. Do you let those fragments haunt you?  Do they become baggage?

Are you single? Divorced? Looking for a connection with that one person who floats your boat?  I've been there. I finally found that one person but only after looking inside myself.

Nature Vs. Nurture

Nature vs. nurture is an age old debate. Is it your DNA that makes you the person you are today or is it the nurturing you received in your formidable years?  I believe it is a combination of the two.

Power of Forgiveness

I read a quote once on Facebook. I don't know who wrote it, but it really resonated with me. "I never knew how strong I was until I had to forgive someone who wasn't sorry, and accept an apology I never received."  Isn't that the truth?  Forgiving someone isn't about that person. It's about you. The longer you drag around anger and angst hurts you not them.

Angry Birds

No, this is not about the video game your kids might play or Alfred Hitchcock’s movie The Birds.  What does anger do for you?  Is there a difference between positive anger that brings forth something good or negative anger that brings back negativity?

Acceptance

Accepting yourself can be difficult when unforeseen obstacles throw your mojo out of whack.  Or, you were dealt a crappy hand and you have no choice but to deal with it.  People deal with things in their own way.  Do you overcome and make lemonade out of lemons?  Can you accept yourself with pride and dignity?

Kick It with Donna V. episode 16

Are your kids home for the summer and driving you over the edge?  You're not alone. Parents everywhere are dealing with the "I'm bored" mantra. How do you deal with this?  Are you creative with ideas or do you just get pissed off and yell at the kids because that is the knee jerk reaction?

Assholism

I made this word up.  It’s not in the dictionary.  An ism is a practice.  Something you do repeatedly.  My definition of assholism is the practice of being an asshole always.

Examples of assholism are on the road, in parenting, in the grocery store and in the workplace.  How many assholes do you deal with everyday?
