Frank Moffatt And Another One Bites The Dust!

About 10 years ago my son Bob and I went to see a clairvoyant, the plan was for Bob to go first and I would go two hours later and we would cross reference our notes to see how accurate she was.

After Bob’s visit we sat and had pizza and Bob filled me in on what she had to say. Interestingly she nailed a few things off the top but then she asked Bob if it would be alright to talk about his dad. He agreed and she went on to say wow Bob you dad has a lot of very positive energy s

Carole L. Carson Fitness as a Means to Living Well

Shortly before turning 60, I decided to change my lifestyle so I could lose 62 pounds and recover the size and energy of my youth. Nearly a decade later, I’ve attained most of the goals I initially set for myself. Yet ironically enough, unless I am careful, focusing on goals can easily undermine my ability to stay fit.

For years, I dieted and exercised just enough to lose pounds and inches. The regimens were severe and usually involved self-discipline and deprivation. On those rare occa… Continue

Mary Goossen-Scott Parental Alienation column

One of the most difficult and unsettling problems I deal with in my office is the damage caused children by a tumultuous marriage followed by a tumultuous divorce.
There is nothing sadder than a child frozen in fear and shame because
they have inadvertently betrayed one parent to another and can never seem to
get things right with both parents at the same time.


Through no fault of their own, these children

Frank Moffatt Life Wasn’t Better Back When!

I hear it all the time – “Back when I was young …” or “Back in the days things were so much better …” or “Kids these days have no respect …”

Hey the past is the past and for myself I am happy to let it go and move on and move up! Because life wasn’t better back when.

My children are far more knowledgeable than I was at their age and I’m sure their children will be far more knowledgeable than they are. Athletes are now twice what their counterparts were 50 years a

Frank Moffatt When Things Appear Worst – Don’t Quit

If there is one thing I have found to be a consistent in life it is when things appear to be at their very worst, this is the time when things are about to change for the good.

And this is the time when you either prove to yourself that you have the courage to hang in there and endure the pain or this is the time when you turn and run and begin a life of excuses.

The saying “Good things come to those who wait,” provides us with the simple answer that patience is

debra joy A Year to Live - Reviewing my Life

It is said that when facing a death many people see their life flash before their eyes. I decided not to wait to the end. Rather than a flash it was more of a feature film played out on the big screen of my imagination. I relaxed and let my mind float from one memory to another. I was felt such deep appreciation for the wonderful people in my life, the chance to live in three great cities and one amazing small Continue

Frank Moffatt Do You Have Faith or Do You Have Identity?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faith describes faith as:

Faith is the confident belief or trust in the truth or trustworthiness of a person, concept or thing. Since faith implies a trusting reliance upon future events or outcomes, it is often taken by its detractors as inevitably synonymous with a belief “not resting on logical proof or material evidence.” Faith is in general the persuasion of the mind that a certain statement

Frank Moffatt How Do You Handle Adversity?

When my children were 4 and 5 years old I bought a book by Melody Beattie called “Codependent No More.” I had no idea why I bought it nor did I have any idea what I was getting myself into, BUT I’ve always trusted my higher power to guide me as to what books I should read and amazingly, I’ve never been let down.

The interesting thing was that when I first read this book I thought OMG she’s written this book

Frank Moffatt It’s Our Struggles in Life that Make Us Strong

There is an old saying – all things in life worth having are difficult to attain.

Yes it would be nice to win the lottery and statistics show that 33% of older people hope to win a lottery to ensure their financial security for the remainder of their lives, but even at 60 or 70 years of age the world hasn’t stopped spinning and everything – every opportunity is still at the tips of our fingers, so don’t hand your life over just yet and put it in the hands of luck – if you ain’t

Frank Moffatt Five Ways to Increase the Productivity of Your Mind

Early bird gets the worm – That being said – you also need to hit the hay early as nothing makes it more difficult to concentrate than sleep deprivation. Two more things; don’t sleep more than 8 hours and sleeping in after a late evening won’t make things better in fact that will most likely only leave you feeling lethargic and groggy.

Exercise – If you weren’t aware of the benefits to the brain from exercise – you soon will be. Exercising leads to increased mental capacity bec

Frank Moffatt Tomorrow the Sun Will Still Rise!

Yesterday Canada won the Gold medal in hockey and when you looked at the American players it showed just how far we may have gone off base as a society. Their heads were all hanging down, no smiles, they appeared to be failures – FAILURES – how bad can it be to be the second best hockey team in the world?

They aren’t failures they are all winners – every last person who does the best he or she can do at whatever they are doing is a winner.

So, why are the results of our athl
