WHEN ANGER FEELS OUT OF CONTROL

Our lives are freighted with frustrations. One at a time we might manage, but when they accumulate, it becomes overwhelming. Nerves fray. Patience oozes away. Energy drains. Tempers flare. We want to scream, cry, or smack something (or someone) . . .



COURAGE

"What makes a king out of a slave?
What makes the flag on the mast to wave?
What makes the elephant charge his tusk in the misty mist, or the dusky dusk?
What maks the muskrat guard his musk?
What makes the sphinx the seventh wonder?
What makes the dawn come up like thunder?
What makes the Hottentot so hot?
What puts the 'ape' in apricot?
What have they got that I ain't got?"

Bert Lahr, The Wizard of Oz



TRIANGULATION
"LET'S NOT TALK DIRECTLY, SHALL WE?"

In your family, relationships, workplace, or neighborhood - are you experiencing any of the following?

Hiding, covering up important information
Bullying, threatening, condescending behaviors
Resistance to cooperation/resolution
Heightened anxiety, hostility, or shame
Scapegoating/blaming



THE POWER OF COMPASSION

"How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young,
compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of the weak and strong.
Because someday in life, you will have been all of these.”

George Washington Carver



TRANSFORMING
SELF-CONDEMNATION
"Stop Blaming Yourself"

“Mishaps are like knives, that either serve us or cut us, as we grasp them by the blade or by the handle.”

James Russell Lowell



GRATITUDE
"LIVING YOUR LIFE AS AN ARTISTIC EXPRESSION"

“If the only prayer
you said
in your whole life was,
‘Thank you.’,
that would suffice.”

Meister Eckhart



MATURITY
"Remembering All That You Are"

Today offers us the opportunity to stop,
re-examine, and re-direct our lives;
to make wiser, more thoughtful choices.
It’s time to decide -
what’s REALLY important!




IF WE HAD NO WINTER . . .
"Moving Through Grief, Pain, Loss, and Disappointment"

And to the depth that we love, is the depth of our grief.
“The risk of love is loss,
And the price of loss is grief -
But the pain of grief
Is only a shadow
When compared with the pain
Of never risking love.”

-Hilary Stanton Zunin
