Notes to God from kids…
A teacher had her third grade class write letters to God and they are funny and insightful. Loved them when I saw them the first time around and hope you enjoy them too! I have to admit I have had some of the same questions…they’re not limited to children!
Balance may be elusive…
The opposite of stressed is calm and balanced, right? Work, kids, life, money, time, energy…if we could just balance it all. But balance is actually a state of constant motion. Think of a tightrope walker, a plate spinner, a bicycle rider, or a gymnast on a balance beam. If they stop moving, just stand still, […]
Got time?
Do you have “stuff” you’d love to do, but don’t feel like you have time for? Is not having enough time your excuse for not accomplishing what you say you want to do? Is there some “wasted” time in your day? Of course, this isn’t you or me (or is it?), but check out this […]
Some possible U-turns…
We say we want to live fully, to be peaceful, to be happy, to be a blessing to those around us. We know we are surrounded by universal ideas of love and beauty and wisdom, that we are immersed in the energy of life and it just waits for us to call upon it. And […]
Back to school?
But it’s okay…It’s okay to not know because that’s what learning is, that’s what life is. After all, it’s September and back to school time for all of us. Whether we’re in kindergarten or just a bewildered adult, life is all about the learning. And it’s not a waste of time! And since no one […]
The power of books!

Replace those weak words!
Most of us will agree that words have power: the power to inspire, the power to hurt, the power to compel, the power to enrage. We no longer ascribe to the adage that “sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” And yet with some thought, I think we would […]
Wisdom is often funny!
The upside of being a blogger who has just passed yet another milestone birthday is that I get to spout some of my vast accumulated wisdom! (after all, this blog is called WisdomEnough.com) But my accumulated wisdom may only be, as the punsters would say, half-vast. So I’m sharing my foolproof method for acquiring all […]
It’s always a choice!
Everyone (and everything!) can be a valuable lesson if we so choose. And it’s always a choice! Maybe we can not only learn lessons on how to live, but also how not to live our lives! Oscar here shows us how quickly we can change our feelings. He’s a living breathing zen koan, a paradox […]
Playing with words again!
Read until the end to just enjoy our delightful language! This two-letter word in English has more meanings than any other two-letter word. This word is “UP.” This one word in the English language can be a noun, verb, adjective, adverb and preposition. Who knew?! Not this (ex)English teacher! To be knowledgeable about the proper […]
