Imagine this . . . Your friend gets a new car. They arrive at your place in their new shiny ride with a big ole Koolaid smile. You go for a ride, express your happiness for them and return to your life as they speed off. Then the next day you find that you’re seeing your new friend’s car everywhere!! You’re at the gas station and there’s the car . . . there’s two more in traffic . . . and three more in the parking deck at work. Where did they all come from? We both know that your friend’s decision to buy this car didn’t cause the market to suddenly shift (no matter how much of a trend setter s/he thinks they are)!! So what really happened?

A friend and I were recently discussing a book and she read that phrase aloud. I immediately laughed out loud and smiled. No, this isn’t a dyslexic remembrance of that feel good Bobby McFerrin song and it’s surely not a prescription for living your “best life” (as Oprah would put it). It is however an unfortunate and rather sad diagnosis for many. But don’t fret, we can fix it!

Did you have any heroes when you were growing up? I surely did. When I was growing up, there were definitely a couple of “super stars” that I followed in amazement.

Happiness and Satisfaction are two eternal concepts that have inspired poetry, art, songs, movies and many life pursuits. Let’s say you had to choose one over the other . . . which one would it be?

Love is one of the most beautiful things one can experience in this existence. Whether it’s true romantic love or unconditional love of family and friends, it is the ultimate emotion. It’s my belief that once you truly love someone, you’ve established an emotional state that’s pretty permanent. That love will likely change throughout your life and be accompanied by other emotions (sometimes intensely opposite ones), but the love remains nonetheless. So what do you do when that ultimate emotion takes you on a ride you're not quite ready for?!

Have you ever felt like your life was moving along in a pretty predictable manner and then BAM, some surprise just about knocks you over?!

Every once and a while, I remember moments like that and smile because it’s so clear that my mind had me convinced it knew what was coming! How do we deal with these unexpected turns in life’s path?
