One effective method of maximizing profits in business is called leveraging. This is a technique whereby a small financial investment is used to multiply the potential of capital used in a transaction. Interestingly, the technique may be applie
There are few things as awe-inspiring as the contemplation of the night sky. The attempt to absorb the impact of a panoply of stars, to internalize the peace of a golden harvest moon rising over a tranquil lake, or to interpret the stately danc
Thanksgiving is a time for expressing appreciation for the blessings we have received, but it is also a time for sharing with family, friends, and on occasion, total strangers. There may be a bittersweet note introduced when a beloved face is n

If you have ever owned a vehicle, you know about the strange things that can happen with them. It’s like they have a mind of their own, and if you don’t treat them nicely, they will leave you stranded in the middle of nowhere and laugh at your
City folks have an intense interest in the lifestyle and doin’s of country folk. The popularity of entertainment media depicting these events is evidence enough. Most city dwellers know about Li’l Abner, The Dukes of Hazzard, Hee Haw, The Bever
In their simplest form, stories are familiar renditions of items in a time sequence. They may convey information, teach lessons, or simply entertain. The components of stories can involve events or thoughts, or a blending of both. They are diss
If you are serious about living life well, you are always looking for better ways to do the things you do. The effort required and the outcome of any particular activity can hinge on proceeding in an appropriate manner. Availing oneself of virg
The human species has a number of characteristics and abilities that sets it apart from other denizens of the planet. Self-consciousness is the primary one, and it, in combination with intelligence spawned a number of others: language, a moral
Everyone enjoys recognition and appreciation for who they are and what they do. But there are some folks who go out of their way to attract notice and are often not particular about how that attention is garnered. It seems they believe they are
There is no more fulfilling and satisfying sensation for a teacher than to watch an enthusiastic and interested student ‘get it.’ Watching the light of comprehension dawn is delicious and the moment can be magic. Unfortunately, these experience
It sometimes seems the only things in our world worthy of attention have to be recharged periodically. If it isn’t connected, networked, synced and shared in the cloud, it is clearly below the threshold of our notice. I believe we do ourselves
Life might be easier if we admit to ourselves that there are some things over which we have little or no control. Acceptance of these truths is referred to colloquially as aging gracefully. I don’t know about you, but I don’t believe I’ve ever
There are times when it seems the only options we have are laughing or crying. It’s good to be a volitional creature so you can choose laughter. It’s lots more fun. So let down your dignity a bit and enjoy the benefits of a good belly laugh now
Sometimes it seems the biggest obstacle we have to contend with in our lives is that strange person who stares back at us from the mirror. Our malady stems from the advent of self-consciousness; that enigmatic transformation inside that allows
As mentioned before, the most delicious dishes often seem to come from recipes handed down through generations. Of course, that presumes the recipe is applied to some real ingredients to produce a finished dish. Sometimes, though, the ingredien
The most delicious dishes we recall from our childhoods often seem to come from recipes handed down through generations. Taste treats like Grandma Tildy’s peach cobbler or Aunt Mildred’s chicken and dumplings always elicit inarticulate sounds o
As we have discussed before, Mother Nature can be a capricious lady. She manages to dangle delectable treats before our awestruck senses with no end of entanglements hidden behind a carefully crafted screen of smoke and mirrors. Nowhere is this
The sad fact is that many people drift through life with no thought given to personal beliefs and values. Like flotsam and jetsam, they are carried along wherever the winds or tides of fortune blow them. Too often, they end as they began–non-en
If you have ever had the experience of laughing so hard your sides ached, you might also have wondered what it is, exactly, that makes something funny. Humor has been acknowledged for centuries. Even sages like Plato wrote treatises on how to u
Mother Nature at her fiery, flashy, tempestuous best can capture our attentions and our imaginations almost instantly. But some of her finest creations are the result of slow, gentle pressure exerted over vast periods of time. The relentless, f
There has been a lot of things written about rainy days. Mostly about how bad they are, how depressing, how enervating. Personally, I have always found rainy days delightful. They often provide the perfect excuse not to do something you didn’t
Too often these days, it seems we drift through life in a mental fog created by a storm of outside stimuli. We miss the unique shapes, textures, aromas and feel of the everyday things around us. It’s sort of like trading our wide-screen color t
Sometimes we fail to consider the unintended–and usually negative–effects of events we set in motion. The military calls the phenomena collateral damage. Often the unintended effects far outweigh the value of the intended ones. The old adage ‘l
