Greetings from the
Editor:
Not My Husband
Several times I have published poems by R.
Harrill. One friend thought they were written by my husband
Rodney. To set the record strait, Randy, my brother-in-law, is
the poet. Enjoy another one of his poems in this issue. I want
to mention again that most of the photos used on my website,
as well as the Texas bluebonnets on the cover of A Simple
Self-Esteem Guide were taken by Rodney, my husband. Thank you
to both of them.
Fortunate Blessings,
Suzanne

Investing in the stock market is a better
risk than getting married these days. The 1998 Census Bureau
Report found that between 1970 and 1996 the number of divorced
people in the U.S. more than quadrupled. Current statistics
show that more than 50% of first- time marriages end in
divorce, and it is even higher for second marriages. Of those
who stay married, many say they are not happy. What’s wrong
and how can you beat the odds to live happily ever after?

Question: I read your article,
“It's Never Too Late to Have a Good Relationship with your
Grown Children” on your website, and it was very useful but
I wonder if you have suggestions in my particular problem.
My daughter has been married 3 years now and we have had an
extremely good relationship thus far. Lately she has become
extremely opinionated and has said some harsh things to me
regarding that I should be a better parent and lets me know
that other mothers do things in certain ways. She has even written
this to me and asked me to try and change to do what others
do...

Positive self-esteem is very important for
our general health and wellness as human beings. Having positive
self-esteem is also important for promoting any type of healing,
whether physical, emotional or spiritual. Poor or low self-esteem
on the other hand can be quite detrimental to our well-being and
even our very existence. Negative
self-esteem can create anxiety, stress, loneliness, depression,
problems with relationships, seriously impair academic and job
performance and also can generate an increased vulnerability to
drug and alcohol abuse and dependency. On the other hand, a
person with positive self-esteem tends to be more motivated in
taking on and creating a life that he loves, living it
powerfully and in this process be authentically related to
others in his community. Having
positive self-esteem appears to be necessary for having a happy
and healthy existence regardless of who we are or what
profession we are taking on in life...

1. Keep Your Word
When ever you don't keep your word, you lessen your experience
of yourself and you put something into your environment that
always comes back. It may be as serious as someone losing trust
in you. There is always a consequence. When you are crisp with
your integrity, life is crisp. Keep your word; it does matter.
2. Avoid Nothing...

Living seven lives at once,
and not really finding comfort in any of them, is just another
day
Come closer and look into my eyes, and whatever you see, don?t
blink or look away
You will see the fire of hope in them, like the first time I
talked to God and really believed that through the force of my
will, I could change the world
You will see the sadness of uncertainty, like when my best
friend died, and I knew not how to save him, nor how to grieve
the loss.
You will see...
