Hanging Out
Right off the top: What is the difference between dating and hanging out? My teens try to differentiate the two by saying that dating is what you do with someone you want to be serious with. Hanging Out is what you do with good friends. I guess perhaps age has slowed my mind up somewhat. Even though I’m not that old. To me, they seem similar. I should think that you would want to hang out with those you would be interested in dating. Isn’t that ...
Body, Mind, and Soul
Being in tune with your mind, body, and soul and how they work is the one most important thing you can do for yourself. We know now that, the three work together. If the body is ill, the mind and soul are affected as well. If the mind becomes ill the body and soul show the stress of that. But, I think the strongest combination showing the most illness is when the soul becomes stressed. That seems to make the body and mind crumble the quickest. I, myself, have learned that first hand! ...

Your reaction to the events around you determines how you feel and how you affect those you come into contact with. Consider the following example:

Go to dinner and a play. Windowshop some. Have reservations at a hotel where you will not be ...

Where Have All the Flowers Gone?
Back in the 60's we had the hippies (or flower children) who practiced a doctrine of "make love, not war". Many of them lived in communes where they planted gardens and lived off the earth. They lived simply. A lot of them also lived a lifestyle that included free sex and and a lot of drugs. They peacefully demonstrated against the Viet Nam War (or conflict, as it was called back then). While their basic tenets were sound, they carried things to extremes. They lost credibility because of ...

Why Are You Here? When I ask this question, I’m not inquiring why you are in the location you’re in, or why you are in the city you’re in, or even why you are in whatever country you’re in. I ask the question, because I’m wondering why you exist at all? In the fall of 2003, I released a book I wrote called The Why Are You Here Café. It is a fiction story of a man who wanders into an all night café and is surprised to find three questions on a menu. Why Are You Here? ...
