August 6, 2021 by

The cannabis business hit high gear in Oklahoma. Cheap land, friendly laws, and relaxed enforcement, combine to make the Sooner State a national leader in cannabis production. Investors and workers from other states come to Oklahoma for weed work, and it’s booming. Call it a marijuana land rush.

BEGIN AGAIN TO AVOID PERMANENT QUITTER ATTITUDE

August 5, 2021 by

Failure awaits those who forget to begin again. It’s one thing to walk away from mistakes, and only one way to make it better. You need to look at what happened, and begin again. Make a new mistake, learn from the process and fail better. I can’t recommend it as an every day thing like […]

August 4, 2021 by

An updated life, from new paint, new flowers, to new shoes, asks a question: What was wrong with the old life? Like there had to be something wrong to change things? Yes, that’s usually a good reason, but so is getting a different angle. Update, refresh, begin again. Call it one of those, add a […]

BREAKING DOWN THE STEPS FOR AN EMBRACEABLE FUTURE TO SNUGGLE

August 3, 2021 by

Breaking down anything to its basics is harder if you’ve never done it before. No matter how careful and cautious you are to include everything important, there’s always something missing. It’s like younger people breaking down the aging process. The only thing missing there is the age part, but that doesn’t stop anyone. I read […]

HEALTH ADVICE STARTS WITH TRUSTING THE SOURCE

August 2, 2021 by

When health advice comes from questionable characters, is it really advice to follow? It’s not health advice when it comes from people with agendas, people courting voters, or people seeking some kind of personal affirmation. If Reverend Bob decides Sunday is the day to go off on the congregation about covid masks, covid vaccines, and […]

CARE ENOUGH TO NOT TURN YOUR BACK ON OTHERS

July 31, 2021 by

When I had to care enough to do things caregivers do, I used to joke, “It’s easier if you don’t care.” It was funny back then because I did things caregivers didn’t do and it earned me the title of ‘Heroic Caregiver.’ That was a name given with certain trepidations because heroic caregivers are one […]

MEDICAL ADVICE SAVES LIVES SOONER THAN LATER

July 30, 2021 by

Medical advice is different than mechanical advice for a car? While it is shocking news to some, the wrong advice can kill you. The guy at the car wash says your brakes are fine because you stopped when they gave the sign. But those brakes are grinding at every light. When is the right time […]

PUBLIC PERSONALITY FAIL DISAPPOINTS YOUR MOMMA

July 29, 2021 by

Displaying a public personality means taking a side. Otherwise, why bother? If someone has something to say, by all means, get it out. Say your piece, then sit down. But that’s not the way it works. Too often they skip the part about sitting down. The correct way to present a public personality goes like […]

SELF CONTROL: SETTING AND REACHING ACHIEVABLE GOALS

July 28, 2021 by

The best examples of self control come from those who have reached their limits. They set a goal and worked toward it. If it was an easy goal, they hit the mark and moved on. Unrealistic goals not met leave a haunting reminder that we’re not who we thought we were. The self-aware person gets […]
