People Are Driving Me Crazy!

It feels like I have no patients anymore. I seem to be frustrated and angry at everyone. Seriously! It seems like everyone I meet, no not really the folks I meet and speak with, more the people I encounter driving, riding my bike, walking down the sidewalk, in the aisle at the store. Yeah, those non-descript knuckleheads are the people that are driving me nuts.

Take a minute and apply these words to the things you will be doing today. Imagine feeling clarity in all your activities. (more…)

I was just talking with a friend of mine who was having a hard time due to an old boyfriend who was back in town.
She was going through the standard mental gyrations of : What if I run into him? What will I say? I don’t want to get involved with him again.? Etc. She was miserable.
As the conversation continued, she said something that I found profound. She said, “ I am really busy right now with work, I don’t have time for this.†(more…)
