Living with and Loving Lies - Tex Norman
Here is what I am supposed to be learning: when people reject me, that doesn 't make me an unworthy, pathetic loser. So I write a novel, and not one person in my family reads it.

Looking for Our Happiness in All the Wrong Places - - e

We each have our own definition of what success is. Success to me is not my station in life but how many lives I've helped make better (even just a little bit).

Coffee Tastes Better in a SearchWarp Coffee Cup - Teresa Ortiz

A Very Dirty Brush - from "Pink Hair & Chocolate Cookies" - - Laura Lavigne

The Illusion of Life. - - straight talk
The Wake Up Series as a series of articles presenting real and hypothetical considerations. In my opinion the life of all humans is one of illusion.

Freedom to Be, Freedom of Heart, Freedom of Mind - Jennifer Stewart
Freedom has always been an elusive concept for me until lately. When I was young I knew I was in a prison of sorts, and was even aware that some of that was within my own mind.
