When I opened my iGoogle page under the Heading of ‘Hot Trends’ a few of the entries had to do with hanging photos of the late actor David Carradine.  I am ashamed to say that I clicked on one of the links.  Fortunately I closed the page before I saw any pictures…my conscience got to me.  My better judgement kicked in and gave me a reality check.  I was reminded how despicable people can be. 

Because a person is, or was a celebrity there is an inclination to think they don’t have basic human rights to privacy.  So many people  assume that they have a right to know details about a celebrity’s personal life.  Let me state it clearly….WE DON’T!!!  What happened to David Carradine is tragic.  Even though he apparently did it to himself…even though there may have been some kinkiness involved, it was tragic.  Life is precious, and life lost is serious and solemn. 

For a minute I got caught up in the curiosity, and I wanted  to see what I really didn’t have a right to see.  The family of David Carradine has a right to dignity, even if David killed himself in a most undignified way.  They deserve the right to mourn his death in private.  They don’t owe us in the public anything.  Similarly when celebrities get divorced, go into rehab, get arrested, or have plastic surgery…it ain’t our business.

What we really need to do is live our own lives.  Everyone will be better off.  How willing are you to let people know about your private affairs?  I’d bet that you don’t want anybody in your business.  I bet that you want the respect for your privacy that is guaranteed to us as Americans.  Celebrities deserve the same respect.

So for whatever it’s worth…I apologize for almost looking at those pictures.  I will do better in the future…and I hope you do as well.

Hello out there bloggies!!  I am back after a long hibernation.  I had gotten a comment on one of my posts, and I went back and read the post.  I must say I was impressed (pardon me while I kiss myself).  Anyways…I wanted to write today as a way of getting back on the horse.  It is so easy to justify not trying because we have been away for a while.  This is foolishness.  It is never too late to pick up where you left off, when it comes to your dreams, and most other things in life.  

So you stopped going to the gym, you stopped dieting, you stopped putting money in the bank, you stopped telling your wife you love her…today is the day that you can start anew.  The rest of your life is still in play.  You still are at the wheel.  You can decide to let your life, your dreams, your family relationships remain stagnant.  Or, you can decide to take one small action today that will improve things.  It will lift your spirit, and inspire even more effort.

Creation is an ongoing living breathing process.  It ebbs and flows, it comes and it goes, it stops and starts…do you get it?  Inactivity is only a small part of the picture…that is if you want it to be.  I say all this because I often times struggle with consistency…but I am who I am.  Sometimes I walk away, but I am back…won’t you join me?  What have you put down?  Right now or certainly before the end of the day take a small action that moves your life closer to where you want it to be.  As you do that also be sure to be grateful for the process.
