LOSS

Today is a sad day. Today brought the news of a friend lost. He was taken back to God. He was young and ambitious and loved to laugh. He was creative but strong and always stuck his ground. Rick cared even if he could not always tell you - but he loved and loved deeply. My tears stream down my face knowing I was not the friend I should have been. In the years that slowly took us further away to be brought back together through FB... but then still never to find the time to go down and just say 'hi'! This loss has brought me to the realization of the smaller things in life that tend to matter more than you care to admit. It has changed me but for the better. Thank you Rick for being lessons in my life with the passing of yours.

Helloooo Everyone,

Ok so it has been a week or so since I started this blog and I have been thinking about what my second ever posting would be about. So, I guess it will be about HONESTY. Yes I know it is really one of the last things people want to ACTUALLY talk about although we EXPECT everyone to be at least modestly honest with us.

So what has driven me to talk about honesty??? Well first of all... I am one of those people that can't help but to be brutally honest (as my mother would put it!!). So what is all the fuss about? Why does honesty have such a prevalent place in our thoughts? And I know you know exactly what I mean... always wondering what someone else is thinking and if you are EVEN brave enough to ask... are they REALLY being honest about what they tell you???

it seems that more and more in our complex emerging world, that we are constantly needing to weigh the validity of the statements we receive as inputs. Whether they are spoken or written we need to ensure what it is we are being told is actually truth in reality.

A prime example of how our markets have been flooded with FALSE statements.. we just need to turn to the diet industry. Herbal Life promotes products in order for their clients to be able to lose weight. In this day and age, this really isn't anything too excited. North American markets have played host to countless number of new and improved diet plans in order for people to be able to achieve their 'ideal weight' but can they really? Or is it just a dream that you are being sold? the power of being able to manipulate vocabulary entitles some to leverages of power they would not have otherwise been able to obtain. So maybe the question I really should be asking.. is why are we - as a human race in general - so bloody gulliable?
