Forward Living

Our eyes are placed in front because it is more important to look ahead than to look back.  Unknown

 What would happen if you drove a car forward but kept your eyes glued to the rear view mirror?  All you would see is what is behind you and you would miss what is in front of you...and you'd crash and burn.  Being focused on the past keeps us bound to hurts, bad behaviors, toxic relationships, negative perspectives, etc.  And being focused on the past means we are hurting our present and our future.  We wound people in our present day life, we create new hurts, new addictions, new toxic relationships, etc.  No good comes from living life constantly looking behind.  It slows us down, it distorts reality, it paints a bleak picture of our potential.  Choose today to get your eyes back up front, looking forward, living up to your true potential. Choose today to get your eyes forward again so your heart can be forward again.  Choose today to move forward and be free from wounds and hurts of the past so you can be healthy in your relationships and interactions with others.  Choose today to be present and future focused, let the past stay where it belongs.  Choose real life today.

Because shoes help protect from bacteria in the dirt, rusty nails, dirty needles and shoes enable feet to withstand the long distances most children in developing countries need to walk to get to school. Join TOMS One for One There is plenty of criticism out there for TOMS and its short term solutions. Critics don't even buy the "at least they are doing something" statement.  However, you have to start somewhere. And every bit of awareness helps something go from short term to long term.  We all have a part to play. Read a Road Map Day One of the many reasons I would stink at The Amazing Race is because I never did learn how to read a road map well.  I remember doing worksheets and class lessons on maps and I was able to skate by ...

A dime a dozen

"It's said that in the year 1796, the first U.S. dimes were produced for circulation. Hence, it would make sense for this phrase to originate sometime after." Read more here .  Today the phrase carries the meaning that something is cheap or without value if it can be lumped in with other similar or exactly-like things. It's more of an insult than anything.

Butter someone up

There are two probable origins for this idiom and I think both are equally plausible. The first one is that when you spread butter on bread you are buttering it up like one would do when trying to flatter someone. The second is in ancient India there was a practice of throwing balls of butter at statues to ask for favor, i.e. buttering them up. ( source ) When we use the phrase today we generally mean that extreme flattery is used to gain information or favor. It's not always necessarily a compliment.
