Simply my Thoughts By: Dean Butler
When you are standing in front of a mirror whose opinion, thoughts, or answers do you seek? Surely it cannot be that of a friend, relative, city-wide majority, or even television commercials, simply because they are not present. You stand before your mirror asking yourself questions that you in turn will answer. Sadly however your […]
Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow. Three completely different words with three completely different meanings, yet for some reason so many make every possible effort to combine them into one. Most don’t realize how much damage they are doing to both their today and tomorrow by dragging yesterday into the mix. Our reasons are simply unlimited. Most […]
One thing that cannot be denied. Every one of us came from our mother’s womb. When we got here we knew absolutely nothing about anything. In fact, everything that we know today was taught to us by someone at some point and time in our lives. Does that mean that at some point in our […]

Understanding……you would think it to be simple as if comprehending what we read and or hear. Perhaps so, should the context remain simplified excluding any and all variables that would otherwise distort what we deem the norm. Define norm, and depict variables if you will.
