Some are colored with warm sunny feelings and others are wrought with dark turbulent emotions.  One of those things wrought with despair and guaranteed to keep us where we don't want to be is to not forgive, ourselves or others.  If the lack of  forgiveness is dark and emotionally crippling, wouldn't it make sense to forgive would add light to our lives?  Divine, so to speak. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was thinking about what it takes to be a good follower.  Kind of a contrary thought, isn't it?  Because, anyway you slice the pie, leadership gets the most press.  

The leader, is the out front guy, who takes the flack or receives the praises. As we all know, the leadership proficiency meter can go from bad to great with many stages and steps along the way.  Is it completely out of vogue to be a good follower?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are many different types of families.  There are extended, nuclear, and blended families.  There are families who aren't related by blood.  These friend families are, sometimes, closer than blood ties.  They are the family we choose. One thing, which has stood the test of time is, families who have the strongest ties have the most rituals.  The rituals are better known as traditions.  Why is it important for family closeness to observe holiday traditions?]]></description>

In November of 1963, we lost our President John F. Kennedy, to an assassin's bullet.  But, before he died, he sold us his vision.  It started out as  only a dream. He made us believe.  We, as a nation, were going to be the first ones to land on the moon. The competition was stiff.  The Russians wanted the title for their nation]]></description>

The days of our heroes being cowboys who never tell lies and always captured the bad guy in the black hat are over.  Our favorite cowboys have been replaced by sports stars that suffer from infidelity and drug problems.  Since our children's pool of good examples for heroes is small, why can't we, their parents, be their heroes?]]></description>
