What If?

June 3, 2017 By Verna Bowman 10 Comments

What if – two words that can be debilitating, if we let it. Most of us don’t deal well with the unknown.  I used to like to see what was up ahead until I got there.  Now, I'm fine to just wait it out. We're wired to worry when social media (and our imagination) reminds us that everything today seems to pose a threat to our … [Read more...]

Humility or Humiliation

October 21, 2016 By Verna Bowman 2 Comments

We’ve all been humiliated at one red-faced moment or another – I’m just guessing.  I’ve had more than my share of moments, sometimes brought on by me and sometimes brought on by another.   But does it even matter? Living in a glass house lets humiliation shine through. So, I tried to define the difference between humility … [Read more...]
