None of us is alone in this experience. Every one of us has felt Fear. Every one of us has known Fear. Every one of us has lived in Fear. Fear knows us and we know fear, too well. But thankfully, we also know the other side of the coin. Photo Credit:  Loretta Prencipe @ [...]

Funny Shorebirds

Thumbnail image for Funny Shorebirds by Brooke Leigh Sheldon March 30, 2011

Mind tickling entertainment is about anywhere you throw your gaze. So when I was on the beach at dusk today I found myself grinning, then smiling and finally chuckling aloud at those tiny, squat shorebirds who, in their hunt for edible sand-living critters, hurriedly sprint back and forth in some rhythmic frantic race down to [...]

Words have power

Thumbnail image for Words have power by Brooke Leigh Sheldon March 9, 2011

Words have power. In my line of work, I constantly see the positive and negative impact of words on the psyche. Words build. Words break. Without question, the effects of physical abuse can leave scars on the body and the spirit. Additionally, as research has now demonstrated, it is inarguable that how we are spoken [...]

Reach out

Thumbnail image for Reach out by Brooke Leigh Sheldon December 8, 2010

Reaching out when life is hurting can be the most frightening thought we can consider. We fear rejection. We fear disappointment. We fear silence. But, when pain engulfs our life, the smoke and flames can blind us to the exit labeled SOLUTION. Times such as these we need the eyes, heart, mind, and strong arms [...]

Insecure Man And Unfaithful Wife Syndrome Or IMUWS

Thumbnail image for Insecure Man And Unfaithful Wife Syndrome Or IMUWS by Paresh Chandra Mangaraj November 11, 2010

Sachi’s sunny smile was a thing to be enjoyed. His dark and freckled face with gaping teeth became alive when he flashed his radiant smile. He was a peon in our office. Very often, when he was free, he used to come to me. I always offered a seat to him and exchanged pleasantries with [...]

We are a giant Web, truly a Social Network…so, why do we so often forget that?

Thumbnail image for We are a giant Web, truly a Social Network…so, why do we so often forget that? by Brooke Leigh Sheldon November 11, 2010

About a decade ago my mother and stepfather, because of a series of unfortunate investments and dismal financial missteps, found themselves living in their motor home in a shopping mall parking lot. Different people approach the world and its circumstances in different ways. For my stepfather, well, it was a grand adventure. My parents were [...]

In a whisper…

Thumbnail image for In a whisper… by Anthony P Johnson September 29, 2010

It is important to remember that democracy is more fragile than communism, socialism, oligarchy or a totalitarian government because democracy can dissipate in a whisper when those at the seat of its government are inept and corrupt. Democracy will become extinct if we continue to misinterpret among the citizens derision, hate and destruction for freedom [...]

Fear: Beat it at its own game …

Thumbnail image for Fear: Beat it at its own game … by Brooke Leigh Sheldon August 14, 2009

Brave. Courageous. Great words. I like ‘em. Don’t you? But, let’s be honest with each other. We only understand what they are if we acknowledge that we have stared into the flash-flame scarlet-hot eyes of – Fear. I know Fear. I’d introduce you, but I’m sure you two have met before. Now Fear and I, [...]
