"Is it better to have bright colorful wings that are sweet for all to see or clear wings that produce a sweet product for others to use?" As you probably guessed, the two characters in this question are the butterfly and the bee.  So?  What's the big deal?  Well, in a basic sense (please don't over think this and criticize me...no go ahead and comment) both the butterfly and the bee do the same task.  They help pollinate flowers and such.  But what do they produce for us?  The butterfly can amaze us with it's beauty and often mesmerize as it flies by.  The butterfly can turn a sad moment into a wonderful moment.  The bee often terrifies some as it has the capacity to sting, but at the same time we can enjoy the fruits of its labor.  How does this relate to life?  To you? We become very judgmental in life.  We find individuals being criticized because they may be successful and beautiful. You may think that they don't produce...

With the upcoming show tonight titled, "Advice Night! A Compass to Guide You in Life!", I thought I would briefly talk about this so called "Compass".   This "Compass" is already in our life toolbox, yet we rarely seek that tool.  It is so simple and yet so hard to use. Just like any tool that you use to build something or fix something, it has a specific use as well other uses you might need.  A wrench is used to tighten or loosen bolts, but sometimes you use it as a hammer!  Well, this "Compass" is designed to guide you down the right career, life, leadership or relationship path.  Like anything else in life, there is always a cost.  The "Compass" will point you in the right direction if used properly, or can take you down the wrong path. Like any tool, the tool is only as good as the user.  We often hear that "a computer is only as smart as it user".  This is true in anything we undertake.  We are only human and there...

There will always be unknowns, but at least with a compass we can get a direction!

Adversity never goes away and we continue to face new challenges as we stroll through our lives.  In my story about "losing my face", I left off at the time I exited surgery with thousands of stitches in my face and my jaws wired!  Well.....here we go as we finish up this trial in life.  Actually, it continues to this day! Adversity and pain never truly go away. I was in my hospital room and wanting feverishly to go home.  The trauma of the event made me long for being in a place of comfort.  My friend was visiting me and I explained how I wanted to go home.  I explained to him that if I could get up and go to the bathroom by myself, I could lobby to go home.  Like a 3 year old finally getting the "potty" adventure down.  He helped me to the bathroom door and I entered with such determination to accomplish this task that was once so simple.  After I finished my adventure, I needed to wash my hands.  What is above the sink?  You gu...
