My anger has brought forth an overwhelming need to discuss my disgust toward a woman from Waterdown, Ontario, Canada, named Shona Holmes. I simply cannot get over the fact that she is turning her back on a Canadian Health Care system that has supported her, her entire life. Now she is appearing on every talk show supporting American right-winged propaganda, by claiming the Canadian Health Care system almost killed her. 45 million plus Americans cannot afford a health plan. President Obama is currently trying to fix this problem and the Canadian born Shona Holmes is helping destroy the Presidents’ attempts ...

This is an email I was forwarded, written by a family friend whom we lost a few years back. He had an unbelievable magnetic personality, which was uplifting, inspiring, and genuine.  The essence of this letter is doing what you want to do, and not just for anyone, doing it for yourself ~ which is, in most cases, the most important person in your life.   Helen, The act of writing on it's own is reward enough. By all means, start to write for your pleasure. At least you know what it is that wants to get out.  I believe we are all artists, some of us ...

These things can never be anticipated, but the end result always seems to be a surprise no matter how much you prepare or hope. Turn the card, turn the page, turn your mind! I’ve been searching for the ...

Speaking about inspirational people, once I got word of an unemployed 47 year old Scot, with a voice like an angel, I had to check out what all the fuss was about. Sure enough, I wasn’t disappointed. When I heard her sing I couldn’t believe my ears and I had a smile from ear to ear. It was unbelievable. It certainly made me never want to give up and filled me with optimism. It’s funny how inspiration can come in many different forms. To listen to her say she never had an opportunity until now is beyond me. It’s sad to ...

Try and remember the last time you were excited. I tried and I couldn’t quite remember, which made me think that it must have been some time ago. I am normally a happy person, but this thought made me feel quite the opposite. I have not felt the urge to jump out for joy or yell out in excitement about a monumental occurrence in my life. Think about the last time you were truly excited? A moment that compelled you stand up and dance around and hug the first person you saw. If you can’t remember, than you and I ...
