Here as I sit at the table and see the stares, I already know who is calling me out, not being a road dog, but i know how to be a man.
Life’s a gamble, not to get lost in the cards or the games.

One of My Fans
Favorite People
Who are your current most favorite people?
I can only go with Jesus on this one. I typically don’t have favorites because it isn’t fair (in my eyes) to others. Growing up my grandparents played favorites. I was never one. Granted, I was never mistreated, but I wasn’t a favorite. So I will never have a favorite person.
A Furnace and People
Both can blow hot air.
Trust and Confiding
You can trust someone, but can you confide in them? There are many who I trust but would never confide in. Trust has multiple levels.
Giving
Giving comes in all sorts of packages. It doesn’t have to necessarily be a physical thing that you give. It can be your time or a helping hand. Giving someone a smile or a kind word can make all the difference. If you aren’t particularly happy at the moment, take the time to wonder why you feel that way. Don’t, and I mean don’t, take it out on others. Problems/issues can be worked out. You might not see it at the moment, but they can be/will be. I’ve heard this phrase spoken many times throughout the last couple weeks:
You can’t move forward it you keep looking back.
Nothing will get done if you don’t relax and move forward. But helping others has its own healing effects no matter what your issue.
Uniqueness
Which aspects do you think makes a person unique?
People’s reactions to various aspects in life. Our beliefs is another. Two or more people can have the same belief and still be unique in their thinking regarding it.
To My Awesome Followers and Guests
There are people around us who inspire us on a daily basis. Whether they are with us in person or not, doesn’t matter. They live in our minds and in our hearts. Who inspires you? My family inspires me, of course. But outside of them, all of you, my followers and friends inspire and uplift me. I am so grateful to all of you. So a HUGE THANK YOU EVERYONE.
A Thorn in the Midst
Life can be happy. Well, for the most part until someone comes along and either does or says something nasty and/or out of turn. You can be in a group of people at a party having fun or even on the job working on a team and someone has to kill the fun. I call them thorns. You know, those individuals that strike when you least expected it. Much like when you’re trimming a barberry bush. You wear gardening gloves and handle those branches with care. Then you let your guard down and BAMB! You get stuck with one of the pickers. Mean people and pickers equals no fun at all.
There is a silver lining though. Sooth yourself with deep breath and move on. They are only one unhappy soul out there. Smile, be a light in someone else’s day, and let the sunshine in.
People Inspiration
If you are an author, whether you are experienced or not, sometimes talking to someone you trust (implicitly) about your story ideas can help you tremendously. I know that’s very simple advice, and maybe you already knew that. But it’s a good reminder. I never would have come up with the story I did for my first book had I not confided in my creative writing professor. Sometimes we need that nudge. So, if you are on the fence about a piece of writing you are working on, hash it out with a trusted friend.
