Wednesday Wisdom for Parents Based on Two Relatable Quotes
I love both of these quotes about raising kids, by far, the hardest job in the world. Each day you thank your lucky stars that you’ve been blessed with some good ones, but there’s always that parental gene that makes you want to encourage them to grow as people in a positive way in addition continuing to build strong relationships with them. These relationships formed when they were little, but their trust and their ability to confide in you continues to grow into their teenage years. Having them trust you and your advice and decision-making is important to mutually beneficial relationships. On the advice of both my husband and me,…

Wednesday Wisdom From Last Night’s Paul McCartney Concert
<a href=”http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/18182611/?claim=2a25jyxpx5j”>Follow my blog with Bloglovin</a> PART ONE: The Wednesday Wisdom Advice “Don’t wait—if you have something to say to somebody, say it now.” The words above were uttered by Sir Paul McCartney last night at his concert at Verizon Center in the nation’s capital, Washington, D.C. He was making reference to his friend, John Lennon, and regrets he had about not saying words he wanted to say to him before John’s untimely death. Regret is a tough thing to live with, for sure, and Sir Paul was sharing his own very personal account and wishing things had turned out differently. But it’s not too late for us if…

So Much Wisdom In A Christmas Wish.
I get teased a lot because I’m a Hallmark Channel “junkie.” It doesn’t bother me at all, however, because it’s my one vice, and yet I find it’s typically a positive one. My kids often watch the Hallmark movies with me, however, they know which one is their favorite. It’s called A Christmas Wish, and it’s pretty special. It’s about a single mom of three kids; two are by her estranged husband, and one child, Miles, whom she is raising, is not her biological son, but rather her husband’s son with another woman. However, she loves Miles as much as the other two. Yet, the dead-beat dad doesn’t really care…

Come And Woo Me, Woo Me. ~ Wednesday Wisdom
* * * Shakespeare was no fool, people. He knew exactly what he was doing when he created Rosalind, an important female character in “As You Like It.” Rosalind’s best qualities are that she is witty, intelligent, scheming and lively. She makes the above remark to Orlando, her suitor, when she says, “Come, woo me, woo me, for now I am in a holiday humor, and like enough to consent.” Wikipedia calls Rosalind “the main character of the play who extracts the clarity of important traits in other characters.” As a writer, I like to suppose I have the same qualities as fictional Rosalind: the ability to extract nuances and…

Thankfulness: Today’s Wednesday Wisdom
* * * Right now, I have an apple pie in the oven, a turkey thawing in water because it’s still too frozen and I started to panic, and children who have been so helpful today around the house as we prepare to entertain for Thanksgiving. No matter how that turkey turns out, we will all be together tomorrow, and that’s really all that matters. Today’s words of wisdom come from Meister Eckhart, who was a German theologian, philosopher and mystic, born near Gotha, in the Holy Roman Empire. He lived from 1260 until 1328, and his insight on being thankful is so beautifully put. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! If the…

Wednesday Wisdom From A Pro
First: Today’s Wednesday Wisdom comes from a pro. Pablo Picasso’s work has been emulated and revered. Picasso was a sculptor and a printmaker, but was known for his talents as a painter. It has been noted that he created over 50,000 works of art in his lifetime, living to the ripe old age of 91. Moreover, he was responsible for creating innovative styles of painting, and his works have traveled the world, in addition to being featured in New York City’s Museum of Modern Art. I’ve selected Picasso’s quote today because it applies to those of you working in a craft, whether it be art, acting, painting, writing, or whatever…

Adjusting the Relationships Around You
Today’s wise words come from Earl Purdy. I can’t even begin to tell you how much I love this particular quote: Whenever you make a shift in your consciousness there will be three shifts with the people/relationships around you: The people who leave because you no longer serve the purpose they wanted you for, the people who grow with you and stay in your life, and the relationships you actively choose out of because they no longer serve you. -Earl Purdy Sometimes we have to leave things behind. There are reasons to do it. Sometimes, people leave us behind. But the people who stay with us, love us, and want…
