Manifest Inner Strength Find Individual Truth Remember the “island of misfit toys” in Rudolph? The winter wonderland where all the oddball toys huddled in the cold with tear-streamed faces lamenting how once again Santa left them behind and they’d once again be homeless on Xmas day. As a child I always waited […]

To truly be the master of our own lives we must first learn to master ourselves. The power of self-control as an ally in the quest for peace is essential for understanding truth.

Reflections from the Pond–Integrity and the Blank Canvas by Betsy Lohrer Hall

Alison Blasko — Tue, 05 Nov 2013 23:39:53 +0000

Gratitude Remembrance Inspiration Eulogize Forever I had intended to write this week about a lighter topic and word—DORK. Unfortunately the reality inherent to the experience and the word itself, grief, struck fast and furiously. And as is often the case unexpectedly.

Anger–A Daughter’s Rage at Alzheimer’s by P.J. McIlvaine

Alison Blasko — Tue, 22 Oct 2013 15:33:46 +0000
