Facing a difficult conversation can be difficult enough as it is. So what about when the situation is not crystal clear? Not that’s a hard call, too.
That’s why in my July Huffington Post blog, I look at how to make a difficult conversation, perhaps a little bit easier.
Fair enough – not as clear as these beautiful crystals. But not as hard as them either.
Often when tragedy hits home and sometimes at a distance, depending on the scale of it, we are forced to think about our own mortality.
This was certainly the case last week for Britons upon hearing about the untimely death of heroic teenager Stephen Sutton, who raised more than 3 million pounds for the Teenage Cancer Trust.
Stephen’s untimely death got me and many others thinking about legacy. See my thoughts in my latest Huff Post blog on the subject and do share yours, too.
It’s a sensitive subject but one well worth considering.
Ever been lost and though you had either a paper or digital map in hand, you were none the wiser. I have!
For those of you who haven’t and intuitively ‘go west’ no matter the conditions or the diversions, you, my friends, actually have a functional animal instinct. Go figure!
As for the rest of us, we apparently have one too, but not so functional. In fact, ours is dysfunctional. We must keep moving, however, even if we are way off course.
The experts say that there might be a way, moving forward, to activate this instinct.
In the meantime, check out my latest Huff Post blog to find out more about how sense of direction might be determined in the human brain and what it has to do with the big picture anyhow.
Crazy question, isn’t it? I thought so too until I got thinking about thinking rather obsessively, in the interest of researching and writing my second novel, The Blindsided Prophet.
Available now in e-book and paperback on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and most online retailers, it launches officially Monday. But what does it have to do with thinking?
A whole lot is the short answer.
Modern-day prophet Isaiah Brown thinks deeply not only for himself but also for the sake of others, too. And before it is all said and done, he proposes to leave people thinking their way out of chaos and into calm and serenity more often than not.
Deep, right! That’s why I’ve dedicated my latest Huff Post blog to mind matters, a subject so big, I simply couldn’t get it all done in one go.
Part I: Negative Thinking, Monstrously is hot off the wire. Check it out? And find out for yourself whether you have a monster within. Scary? But remember, all monsters are not created equally. Some are cute and cuddly like Cookie Monster while others are a bit grisly, if you will, like the Incredible Hulk.
Best to get to the bottom of this, but that comes in part II later this month.
For now, read with an open mind and answer the question for yourself: So, do you have a monster within? Do tell right here, on Facebook, Twitter or the Huff Post.
