Marie Brenner's Advice for Estranged Siblings: Make the Call, Get on a Plane, Just Go

One of the best pieces of advice I’ve ever heard is that you can’t wait to “feel” like you want to forgive someone to forgive him or her. Forgiving someone who has wronged you releases you from the hold that transgression has over you. It has very little to do with that person. In fact, I teach my son that he needs to pray for those who wrong him, for example the notorious bully at school who has had at him from time to time. And that doesn’t mean the bully will be rewarded through my son’s prayers with a new Lego or toy race car. He may be rewarded with a revelation about his behavior; my son can be the one to open the door into his life for good to happen for him on a spiritual and personal level. I have had people in my life who it’s been very hard to forgive. But, knowing that forgiving is a “choice” to be made, not a “feeling” to follow is key, and that making the choice to forgive fosters my healing.

Life in the Little Lane: Edith Ann on Having a Bad Temper

As you move through the years, you’ll come to realize that you shouldn’t let anyone or anything steal your joy. When you get angry, you let someone or something steal your joy. When you stay angry, and that person doesn’t know or care about your feelings toward them, you are the only person hurt by that. Way too many people in this world spend way too much time worrying about how other people make them “feel”. Your perception is what makes you “feel” one way or another about a situation or person. Guard your joy as fiercely as you do your rocking chair, Edith Ann!

If you were Bart's wife, what would you do in the morning?

“Confront” is such a harsh word. I don’t know that I’d “confront” him, but I would certainly talk to him - tell him my perception of the prior evening’s observations (no sweaty shirt, tie neatly knotted, undies on backward) and ask him, if he were in my shoes, what would he be thinking right now?

I Read the News Today, Oh Boy: Will Obama Prove Them Wrong?

What I would like to see all of the candidates do is tell me WHY I should vote for him or her. All I seem to be hearing is the usual bashing and trashing of each other’s records or, even worse, why one is the lesser of the evils than the others. Is it any wonder so many people opt out of the process in this country?
