  • Low grade depression?

    I know the term low grade fever is used when describing someone having a fever that is not dangerous. I feel like these last few months I have had a low-grade depression, because I am functional, I go to work, I make an effort to be sociable for the most part. But the solitude that

  • Red Kool-Aid

    A friend and I once discussed “Drinking the Red Kool-Aid”.  I was reflecting on how I do not just go along with things because someone says it is what should be done.  I was commenting on how most people are told by someone they respect, a parent, a spiritual leader, or a political leader for example, and

  • Be mindful of what you ask from Life

    Communicate clear intentions; be well defined about what you want. Most importantly, be willing and prepared to accept what needs to occur in order for you to have what you asked for. Early this year I sent out a request to God (Uni) titled “Kickstart My Life” (Yes, it is a Crue reference!). What came
