A story about Eckhart Tolle
The Power of Now is the most effective book I have read. Eckhart Tolle writes from experience. The ability to live in the NOW is central to emotional well-being. There is nothing except this point in your life…do yourself a great favor: read the book.
Why I admire Sarah McLachlan
Sarah is a true artist,poet, knower of people and spiritual guide. Her lyrics and melodies cut through the veneer of human experience to our inner selves.
One of my favorites.

The Path of Thorns (Terms) Lyrics<
I knew you wanted to tell me
In your voice there was something wrong
But if you would turn your face away from me
You cannot tell me you’re so strong
Just let me ask of you one small thing
As we have shared so many tears
With fervor our dreams we planned a whole life long
Now are scattered on the wind…
CHORUS
In the terms of endearment
In the terms of the life that you love
In the terms of the years that pass you by
In the terms of the reasons why
Through the years I’ve grown to love you
Though your commitment to most would offend
But I stuck by you holding on with my foolish pride
Waiting for you to give in…
You never really tried or so it seems
I’ve had more than myself to blame
I’ve had enough of trying everything
And this time it is the end…
CHORUS
There’s no more coming back this way
The path is overgrown and strewn with thorns
They’ve torn the life-blood from your naked eyes
Cast aside to be forlorn…
CHORUS
Funny, how it seems that all I’ve tried to do
Seemed to make no difference to you at all…
A story about Steve Pavlina
hello! I found Steve’s website after searching “how to deal with a difficult mother”
http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2005/08/dealing-with-difficult-relatives/
Very helpful article which suggests not tolerating behavior from family which you would not tolerate from a stranger. Makes sense to me!
Steve’s experiences and suggestions are practical and encouraging.
