So You Wanna Be Royal?
I admit it. I love watching chick flicks. Among my favorites are “Ever After” and the “Princess Diaries” series. Today we see children (and adults) fascinated about what it is like to be royalty. An ordinary person, or presumed ordinary, becomes royal. So, what does this mean? Aside from the elegant image one upholds, one… Continue reading So You Wanna Be Royal?

Treasured Heirlooms
Sometimes I can get lost in the past by thinking of personal and professional experiences, continued education, cultivated skills, accomplishments, and successes. If I’m not careful, they can easily become inappropriate precious treasures. However, they only bring temporary happiness. The thrill lasts for a short while until it’s time to move on to the next… Continue reading Treasured Heirlooms
