IF NOT NOW, WHEN. IF NOT ME, WHO?
By Vernalee "If not now, when? If not me, who?" is a call to immediate action and personal responsibility. The full, original quote focuses on self-care, helping others, and urgency. It emphasizes that one should not wait for others to act or for a better time; it is a plea to take responsibility now . It is used as a powerful motivator for taking personal initiative and preventing the postponement of important, necessary actions.” This brings me to my longstanding phrase

THE LEOPARD CANNOT CHANGE ITS SPOTS
By Vernalee “The tiger cannot change its stripes ” or “the leopard cannot change its spots” both mean that a person cannot change his or her essential nature or character, -unless it is something that they are committed to doing. A person usually stays true to his/her nature, even if they pretend or claim otherwise. So wake up and don't be surprised when you hear someone say that they have changed and their behavior remains the same. It's a battle against the flesh. It

RELATIONSHIPS LEAVE STUFF BEHIND
By Vernalee When we are involved in relationships (personal and professional) , it is serious business! Attachments are formed. Familiarity becomes a standard. When our relationships work, it is a great thing! When they don’t, discontentment is our by-product. Getting rid of the bad apples and walking away are not always easy tasks. Challenging, isn’t it? Therefore, it is imperative that we are careful and selective about who we let into our lives and into our precious space.

WHAT PRONOUN DESCRIBES YOUR RELATIONSHIP?
By Vernalee It is amazing how a simple pronoun tells what is going on in a relationship! Listen up! Which pronoun will it be – I, us, we, or me ? Perhaps, the better question is what pronoun does your mate use? Which pronoun describes your and his interactions? Does he say we , but his actions are more synonymous to me ? Do you consider him in all of your actions while he considers only himself ? Alright, let’s get a little technical. The only printed difference b

WATCH THOSE ORANGE BARRELS -NOT JUST ON THE ROAD BUT IN RELATIONSHIPS
We see orange barrels everyday on the roads and highways. They provide navigation signals, alerts, and directions. They may also signify a host of traffic related nuances. For sure, we steer around them. Mostly, we slow down. Maybe, it’s danger ahead - construction work, pavement disasters, or something concerning. The orange barrels warn us beforehand. Their bright orange and white colors are visibly noticeable. We cannot miss them! Changing the course, what about t
