When the Truth Does Not Set You Free
I love the Geico commercial in which Mary Todd Lincoln asks Abe if her dress makes her backside look big. After several long moments in which he silently debates his response, he says, “perhaps a…” and then makes a gesture with his thumb and index finger indicating a wee bit. The truth may have been the correct answer but it definitely would not have set Honest Abe free in that instance. Should we... (posted by Nancy 1 day 4 hours ago.)

Relax and Enjoy It!
What does relaxation mean to me? Not working, not cooking, not writing – not even gardening – not doing anything that I would do in my normal day-to-day existence. I love to work, I love to cook, I love to write, and, I especially love to garden; but, I do not consider any of these things relaxing because while doing any one of those pleasurable ‘jobs,’ my mind is on what else...

In a Year from Now...
The only thing I can predict with any certainty is that in a year from now, I will be that much wiser. Note that I did not say smarter, just wiser. I am sure my life will be exactly as it is now. Aside from a few more wrinkles and a bit more sagging, I do not expect anything in my life to change. I discovered that I had wisdom when I turned 50 and was teaching my son to drive. His remarks while... (posted by Nancy 38 days 4 hours ago.)

When I Was Young, We Were Encouraged to Play
When I was a child, one of the phrases I loved hearing from my mother’s lips were the words, “Go outside and play." Four simple words. My brothers and I did not need to be told twice. We liked going outside and playing. There were always things to do. Whether it was sledding in the winter, playing ball in the spring, swimming in the summer (which included diving off a 1-meter board – Oh, My!)... (posted by Nancy 85 days 2 hours ago.)

Why High School Reunions Get Better with Age
This past September, I attended my __ th high school reunion and it rocked. No, not the music. Was there music? I don’t even remember. What made it rock was the comradery, the fellowship, and the joy of seeing people that I grew up with, a few of whom I have known since kindergarten. While I wouldn’t ‘give a nickel’ for some of my earlier reunions, it is... (posted by Nancy 93 days 17 hours ago.)

What I Love About SearchWarp
This is an easy write. I have written over 600 articles on voice and presentation skills in the last 5 years which I submit to multiple websites but not to SearchWarp – at least not for the last 4 years. And, it has gotten to the point in my ‘professional’ writing where I wonder how I am going to create another article with a clever title and once again talk about the benefits...
