Take Time to Vote I have heard it said “to vote your political party,”  I have heard it said “to vote your pocketbook.”  I am initiating a new voting phrase; ” vote your children and grandchildren.”  Our planet is in trouble and the past several generations have done much of the destruction.  We have created…

Heroic Living Most people have heroes of some kind in their life.  In recent years there has been a lot of Hollywood blockbuster movies about old comic book heroes.  On Facebook every day there are dozens of real life heroes showing up in amazing ways that have a profound affect in our world.  I would…

The Dream The other night I had this dream in which I was encouraged to sing.  When I began, an enormous amount of energy was available.  A stream of powerful light flowed through me and I was able to sing as loud, as clear, as long as I chose, without taking a breath.  It felt like…

Being Human I watched the finals of the boys Little League World Baseball championship this weekend.  The teams that played each other were South Korea and Honolulu Hawaii.  Before the big championship game the Hawaii coach, Gerald Oda, got his team together and said to his players: “You are going to have the greatest joy,…

Healing the World Someone was complaining on a local Facebook community page about others defiling the beauty of our high desert here in Sedona.  And in truth, it makes most of us sad, to see litter thrown around by folks, with little thought of the consequences.  On the other hand, those of us who litter,…

Self Talk I saw this on a Facebook post. ” Speak to your children as if they are the wisest, kindest, most beautiful and magical humans on Earth, for what they believe, is what they will become!”  I couldn’t agree more.  However, I thought, you know, all of us have within us our inner child. …

It’s Always Mother’s Day I was the youngest of three sons of Oliver and Gladys Bruck.  We boys were born about five years apart.  We mostly had different lives because of the age differences.  My dad became an alcoholic at a young age and our family suffered for it.  My mom, Gladys, did her best…

Take a Walk! I went for a walk around my neighborhood.  It takes me about an hour and a half.  I get to do it, two or three times per week.  The local scenery around our house, is pine tree covered mesas that tower about five hundred feet above the homes and golf courses.  Most…

Leave Nothing Undone I have quit a lot of things in my life.  I have made choices that made others sad.  I have not done things I wish I had.  Life is short.  Sometimes we only get one chance to do something or say something, that can have a profound loving effect on someone. If…
