The Fifth Judge Makes Change

A contestant on America’s Got Talent sang a silly song about wanting more Parmesan cheese. Simon Cowell, one of the judges, hit the X button quickly, and then the other judges followed, giving him four Xs, which meant he was done. Still, the guy kept singing to the audience and didn’t let the judges’ Xs […]

Wake Up, Sleepy Head!

Something struck me this morning when I was getting up that stuck with me, and I have to write about it. I think it might be helpful to someone else. Just a few years ago, I was sleeping through life. I was not happy, but I wasn’t unhappy. I didn’t know what I was. I […]

Apologies

I made a boo-boo. I thought one thing, but I was wrong. I fessed up. I said I was sorry. The other person said no problem. Done. That’s simple life right there. But, still, some people aren’t holding themselves accountable. Blaming is easy, too, right, but it doesn’t help matters – and by matters, I […]

The Joker

I saw a mentalist perform card tricks. He was fantastic! I recommend one if you have a party and want some great entertainment. Anyway, he did some tricks with a deck of cards. Last night I woke in the middle of the night and could not fall asleep. It was so frustrating! But I got […]

The Dreaded D Word

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 […]

Armagh Rhymers

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, […]

Plant a New You

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, […]

The Money Mindset

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 […]

Wanna Be Rich?

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 […]
