Did you miss me?

In case you had not noticed, I took a break from writing my blog for a few weeks in order to complete some projects due and to rejuvenate the imagination. I sit at my desk this morning still trying to share words of wisdom and have decided that I have none. What is it that blocks a writer's ability to maintain that Rhino Spirit and bring the readers to a level of connectivity? That is a question for which I am sure the best authors in the world would like an answer.



Whatever the reason, I am sharing some thoughts with you this morning regarding the Rubik's Cube of Change. Erno Rubik created the Rubik's Cube in the 1970s in order to teach his students about 3D objects. The cube has taken on changes since that cube was originated and consequently is one of the most popular puzzles ever made. Change is inevitable in our world. Some we can cope with while others we struggle with the outcomes. Managing change means managing people's fear. Our fears prevent us from experiencing, growing, learning, and developing our strengths. We have to step outside our comfort zone and in there lies the block. I think about the opportunities I have missed because I was afraid to step outside the normality of my existence.


I give you a challenge this week. Since the Rubik's Cube changed and was successful in our world of entertainment and mind exercises......Make one change in your life that will improve your inner self no matter what the level of fear may be. Evaluate and share.

There are times when we are all extremely gullible.  By nature we are trusting of people because our parents always told us the truth, and we assume others will do the same. It is sometimes a shock to us to find out that is not always the case.  I don't know how many times I have laughed at myself for falling for someone's mischievious dialogue.

I am reminded of the student who asked people to sign a petition to eliminate the chemical, "dihydrogen monoxide"  because it causes excessive sweating and vomiting; it is a major component of acid rain; it can cause severe burns in its gaseous state;  if accidentally inahled it can kill you; it contributes to erosion; it decreases effectiveness of autmobile brakes; and it has been found in tumors of terminal cancer patients.  Out of the 50 people he asked, 43 said they would sign, 6 were undecided, and 1 knew that the chemical was water.  I now know for certain that there are at least 49 other gullible people besides myself.

I guess I would rather be gullible than nontrusting; rather be able to laugh at myself than take myself too seriously, and be able to learn from the dialogue maintaining my rhino spirit.
