Tony Robbins, a life coach, and who I see as a personal development guru, showed on his Netflix documentary, I Am Not Your Guru, how he plunges into a dunk pool of 57-degree water before he starts his day or does a speaking/coaching event. Yikes! I don’t know if I could do that. I get […]
I saw Hidden Ireland with Peter Greenburg on Amazon Prime Video. It’s a remarkable show about neat, interesting places to see in Ireland. I learned Ireland is both The Republic of Ireland (an independent state, official Ireland) and Northern Ireland (part of the United Kingdom,) where Dublin is the capital of The Republic of Ireland, […]
I watched the movie Air about how Michael Jordon got hooked up with Nike. It was set in 1984, and the music soundtrack resonated with me since I graduated high school that year. The music didn’t bring back specific memories but it gave me a feeling. When I heard Money for Nothing by Dire Straits, […]
Bringing wealth to your life is all about your mindset regarding money. You may think all you have to do is work hard, and you’ll bring in the big bucks, but there’s more to it than just spending your time working. You can work 60 hours a week and still be financially struggling or you […]
This is the title of a book idea I developed several years ago. I’m embarrassed to write that because of the time I’ve allowed to pass doing other things instead of sending out a book proposal for it. The book is geared toward children and teaches them about money. I don’t remember how I learned […]
Animals are great, aren’t they? Seeing a wild animal doing its thing (one that won’t harm you or doesn’t annoy you) can raise the level of dopamine in your brain. That’s the feel-good chemical that we want more of. Having an animal as a pet reduces blood pressure and makes you feel better just […]
When we feel anxious or begin to doubt ourselves, insecurity is at play. The question then becomes why. Why does insecurity affect us in so many ways? We usually don’t know it’s happening, but something feels off. Insecurity has been with us since childhood. Unless you had a perfect family with perfect parents, you were […]
Artificial intelligence. AI is all the rage. Companies are clamoring to get out the latest and greatest gadgets or Robots that will change the world. Governments are investing tons of money in companies using AI to create things that will outdo another county (for safety reasons or bragging rights, i.e., a weapon or a cure […]
I saw this movie, A Jazzman’s Blues, written, directed, and produced by Tyler Perry, available on Netflix. It’s a terrific story of how it was living in the South for a black man in 1937. The ending was a disappointment. What is it about great movies that flub up the endings? I’ve written books […]
When I was a kid, there was this movie, “Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark?” with these little gremlin/demons who lived in the basement and had it out for the lady of the house. I was terrified by those things! I was afraid to go down our basement for fear those demon things were there, […]
