We are all striving to be more successful. We usually are working on one area of our life or another at any given time. In our quest to succeed, we seek out information that helps us get what we want or where we would like to be. We listen to friends, read magazines, go to…
1. Something I reflected on this week… The events of September 11th, 2001, rocked everyone. We all remember exactly where we were that day. This week, I found myself thinking about the 2,977 people who died on that day… the 2,753 at the World Trade Center, the 184 that died in the crash at the…
In the mid-1800s, women in maternity wards were dying at a high rate of puerperal fever, also known as childbed fever. A physician named Ignaz Semmelweis, while working at a hospital in Vienna, Austria, noticed that women in the maternity ward staffed by male physicians died at a rate three times that of the ward…

If there is one thing humans are great at, it’s procrastination. We consistently put off until tomorrow what we should be doing today. I don’t believe it’s because we are lazy. I believe our minds work in a way that we justify not doing things until they really, really need to be done. Obviously, some…
1. Entertaining clips I never pass up… There is a mime that entertains the crowd before the shows at Sea World. His name is Tom the Mime, and he’s hilarious. I periodically get clips in my feeds on Instagram and TikTok… and ALWAYS watch them. Search “Tom the Mime” anywhere on social media, and you’ll…
Are doctors gods? Obviously not! My grandparents were among those who took what doctors said as gospel. Those days are long gone. The faith and trust in the main stream medical establishment is eroding rapidly. With the difficulty and time that it takes to see a doctor, the outrageous cost of medicine and medical procedures,…
1. Great clip I saw this week… Neal Foard is a guy who shares powerful stories on TikTok and YouTube. Every story that I’ve heard him tell was captivating, inspiring, and/or moving. I’m going to learn more about him this week, as I have downloaded a couple of podcasts that include him. He appears to…
