In case there are any doubters among my readers, here is the photo of the dove sitting on Mr. Guardian Angel’s arm. Pretty cool, huh?

Therapy Thursday: Sweat
I have decided to dedicate a post on Thursday to therapy, and offer you the many tips I have learned on the couch. They will be a good reminder for me, as well, of something small I can concentrate on. Many of them are published in my book, "The Pocket Therapist: An Emotional Survival Kit." Work

Scrupulosity: What It Is and Why It's Dangerous
If you sprinkle a hefty dose of Catholic (or Jewish) guilt unto a fragile biochemistry headed toward a severe mood disorder, you usually arrive at some kind of a religious nut. Not that there’s anything wrong with that! For I am one. I have said many places that growing up Catholic, for me, was

The Treasures of Darkness
We often equate darkness with sorrow, misery, get-me-the-hell-out-of-here reaction. At least I do. That’s why I keep a mammoth Happy Lite on my smallish cubicle at work. But darkness can also be a treasure. Say what? J. R. Miller writes this in “From Streams in the Desert” by L. B. C

On Groundhog Day: 12 Winter Depression Busters
Last year on this day, I got fired. That was a real pleasant Groundhog Day. I was so confused by what had happened that I drove around the D.C. beltway twice. I missed my exit, and realized that halfway around the second time. I just thought on this day, you could probably use some winter depres

6 Ways to Stay Resilient in Stress
Writer Jennifer Yane once said, “I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days will attack me at once.” Admittedly, I spend too many days myself running from “the attacks of the calendars.” I am thinking that if I didn’t have so much stress in my life, I MIGHT be able to grab

Therese, that really is cool! Didn’t doubt you for a minute~! I go to a State Park near here where the game warden has an office. He and the staffers have built several birdhouses and put out feed to attract a variety of birds. I go out there and just sit and watch sometimes. The birds always remind me that God created the birds and me. And now when I see doves I’ll be thinking of Guardian Angels.
I do see a lot of turkeys at this same State Park. They are pretty awesome too. Did you think I was gonna say they remind me of my old co-workers? Haha!
Frank,

This is an awesome picture. I wish I had been able to take a picture when we buried my sister. At the cemetary we released a dove. Normally they fly away but this one circled and landed on my mom’s shoulder.
The whole crowd took one big gasp in unison.
My oldest son gathered it and put it back in the cage. The children later released it in the backyard at my mom’s home. My sister loved to play in that yard as a kid, the dove circled and flew away.
A sign you ask? Well I beleive so! A message for my mom of I am okay, don’t worry!

A great picture! And such a lovely and peaceful setting.
So nice to see the natural beauty.
Would be great to have more photos like this…perhaps as
part of this site?

My father passed away, at home, July 26, 2007. He was very sick most all his life. I know he was God’s child. Dad was a good man and had a deep faith. When he retired from farming he soon began to loose his sight. Mom was by his side through all the years, being his eyes for him. Finally the doctors couldn’t help him anymore. So he went home and was placed on hospis. Early that morning mom called to tell me that dad had passed away, I took a taxi to their home. I have a close relationship with God and He gave me a vision.
The following day mom told me that she thought she had a visitor that night. For quite sometime they could not sleep in the same bed. And that evening she said she felt pressure on dad’s side of the bed and a presence with her. I just smiled, because I already knew he was going to be with her to comfort her.
