What Do They Mean by Swallow the Frog?
We’ve all experienced it. That dread that looms over us and ruins our days. And nights. You toss and turn, thinking about that thing you have to do tomorrow. And when you finally get out of bed, things don’t get any better. Your day is ruined before you even get started.

The Shift
The Shift There is a Shift unfolding before our very eyes all over the planet. What Shift you may ask? Have you not noticed the change in our financial and medical institutions, in our educational system, our shopping experiences, even in the way we do church! There is a Shift taking place that is affecting every area of our life!

Wake Up Call
I am a firm believer that things happen to us for a reason. Sometimes we will never understand the reason, perhaps because we failed to grasp the opportunity that was there for us within the reason. There will be many times we won't understand the reason for a period of time. Other times, things happen as a bit of an instant wake up call. There are times where we will be the instigator of the change, decision, or circumstances, and other times someone else will be the instigator, and force us into change, decision, or circumstances. We will often find that these changes, decisions, and circumstances, that are forced upon us, are against our will, creating immense stress, pain, hurt, unhappiness, anxiety, depression, and discomfort. It's easy to become angry and frustrated, even to the point we respond abruptly and nastily, but sometimes what others do to us can quite often be a blessing in disguise. There may be something they say or do that actually helps us to realize that we actually needed a good kick in the pants. Even when this happens, so often we tend to preserve our pride, and rather than admit that what someone said or did to us was in fact a great wake up call that we needed in life, we instead take our frustration and anger out on them. We deny fault, we try and pass blame, and we even try to shift focus and identify their faults and mistakes instead, all in an attempt to avoid feeling down about ourselves, and having to admit to error.

Archimedes' Principle for Forgiveness and Spiritual Health
Archimedes Principle and Forgiveness. I love hearing Grandma stories. No one is as wise as a well lived Grandma. I had one and I appreciate others as well. One such Granny used to say “water seeks its own level”. This is probably the best piece of advice I ever received, basically she was clueing me in to the idea that people will go as high as their own level of will can reach. This level is NOT absolute but is governed by the development of the person involved.

Life's lessons
Good morning my lovely readers! Two days ago I wrote a story about my car breaking down in awful weather and having to walk to get help. Well guess what happened today? My car broke down, it was pouring rain and the sidewalks were covered with snow making it necessary for my daughter to brave traffic and walk in the street for help. It was an awful day that did not end with cash in my pocket. Lets see if I can switch gears and make a not so awful day happen tomorrow. hopefully a more positive story will accomplish just that. happy reading.

Why Procrastinators are More Likely to be Overachievers
I had an interesting conversation with one of my classmates recently. We were having a Zoom study session and she revealed to me that she is a self-proclaimed procrastinator. I let her speak for a few moments, and describe her situation and why she waits to get everything done until the last minute. At this point I interjected with my own comments.
