You can stand in someone else’s shoes, but you will never wear them like the person that they were meant for. Find your own path, walk out your own destiny…anything short of that, is a life that has been cheated.
Your Own

Seasons Change
What is it about September that is so glorious? Maybe it is because I know that October, my very favorite month is just next door? Maybe it is because we are approaching the time of year when the traditions that steep our lives become so prevalent…family dinners, warm apple ciders, pumpkins, bonfires and firepits, turkey dinners, Christmas, gift exchanges……
I don’t know why this year, my heart buzzes with the thought of the changing leaves? So are the seasons on Earth and such are the seasons in our lives. I think Autumn gives us a perfect example to know that change is not always a bad thing, really it can be quite beautiful and every leaf that falls in our lives will nurture the next season that has yet to dawn in our eyes….
Everything that Glitters….
Country singer, Dan Seals, sang a song titled, Everything that Glitters is Not Gold. Funny how the shiny things catch the eye and for a moment you think that you really have something special and the things that really mattered and were true are tossed to the side ….and for what…something so superficial but yet feeds the eye of pride and the fickleness of desires. Oh but time……time is the best teacher of the foolish decisions that one has made. Time is the best teacher of what is lost, never to be gained again. Time wears off the “shiny”, the “glitter” that first catches the eyes and it shows that everything that glitters is not gold….it had no value at all but to rob you of what was really true to you.
Keep It Moving
It is okay to “keep it moving”, just make sure that you are moving in the right direction.
Emotional Terrorism
What is the deal these days with male and female friendships? I just completed my third phone call within the last month or so regarding male and female friendships and the mess that stemmed from it.
Here is the bottom line:
Ladies, if you are stroking his hair, feeding him tiny morsels of food or nuzzling his ear, after a while he is going to think that you are interested in progressing the “supposed” friendship into a dating relationship….
Guys, if you are wining and dining, snuggling on, talking about a future with your friend who happens to be a girl, or saying or treating your “girl” friend in a way that that you would NEVER say or treat your guy friends……
Then don’t be surprised when your friend starts getting a little googley eyed toward you and the expectations change. And….before you call them crazy, a stalker, or say that they lied to you about being your friend, it might be a good idea to check yourself and ask what did you do to contribute to this situation.
Leading someone on is nothing short of emotional terrorism. And, like any act of terrorism there is destruction that follows, the only thing is that the person who caused the destruction doesn’t stick around to see the damage. Stop it already!
Other Foot It
I really think that a great deal of the problems great and small, would be solved or never happen if people would just “other foot it” – you know put the shoe on the other foot and think….now would I want someone to do that me or someone I love…..just pondering.
20/20
Hindsight is 20/20, but wisdom gained from a trial/storm/life lesson
is priceless.
Victory
Today I wear the victory…..
I have learned that it is not good enough just to have the victory, it must be worn. Not worn like a peacock flaunting feathers but rather with grace and humility, worn with a thankfulness that you are still standing in the midst of and perhaps even on the other side of the battle.
Season the Earth
What is the purpose of salt if it only stays in the shaker? Amen? Amen.
