It’s not right

I’ve been married my entire life, and now I’m not. We were going along as always, making plans, sniping and hugging, irritated and proud of each other and just like that, he left. And suddenly, I’m single. A widow. A woman without a best friend. Without  someone to fight and make up with. Without the [...]

I received an important email, but rather than send it on, I’d like to direct you to one of the (hopefully many) places it’s been posted. Please go to http://trinitylast.com/a-post-rather-than-an-email/ for a very important message to all Americans, be their Republican or Democrat, northerners or southerners, East Coast or West. And may God bless us [...]

I did not accomplish all those wonderful things I claimed I would do in 2009. I did not reduce my work day from anytime/any day to nine to five, Monday through Friday. I did not get my house impeccably clean and keep it that way. I did not replace my late mother-in-law’s tank for a [...]

It’s been a week of meetings: phone meetings, meetings in coffee shops, meetings in bookstores, meetings in [...]

For reasons beyond my comprehension, I always expect every January to feel “different” from the days preceding it. What actually happens is that every January I get lost in the year; i.e., I have trouble remembering what day or month I’m on. It sometimes takes me until March or April to get “grounded” in the [...]

This has not been the year I expected it to be. It has not been filled with all those marvelous changes and accomplishments I’d envisioned just 12 months ago. It has instead been a year of Elliott Wave ebbs and flows, with so much ebb I simply have to believe next year will produce some [...]

I was speaking with an associate the other day who was feeling overwhelmed, as we all do from time to time, by the sheer number of things she had yet to finish that week–and the depth of work involved in each one of those things. So I gave her permission to not be current. I [...]
