Greetings from the
Editor:
A Special Poem
Martha has been incarcerated for 11 years in a Texas Prison. I have been writing her for five years, encouraging her to heal and learn and grow. One of Martha’s goals was to pass the GED Test for High School Equivalency. After many attempts, she finally passed. In one of her letters to me expressing her excitement, Martha enclosed a poem she had written. I want to share it with you, as it strikes a note within me of universal appeal.
Fortunate Blessings,
Suzanne

As the days go by behind these walls,
I want the ones that thought
I could not make it to stand back and
Watch me,
Because I’m getting ready to unfold.

Some learn early to move beyond the limited palette and use unfamiliar colors to explore the rainbow of color possibilities. Those who prefer to paint with the same colors over and over and to limit the palette eventually find life has a corrective measure.

1. Start a journal. Starting a journal is a wonderful way to involve your creative side, to explore your ideas and to put to work your new aims and see the progress.

Writing is a way of looking at your self through an outside view - what have you noticed about yourself as you read past journal entries? Let your mind be free to open up to new levels as you write. Writing can be a very freeing experience.
2. Give yourself time for reflection each day...

Getting others to look at things from our point of view can be challenging, to say the least. Marriages end in divorce, business partnerships end up in court, teams become dysfunctional, potential sales are lost, all because of hair trigger, unconscious habits in how we handle disagreements with each other. We have to be better. Each one of us, in every relationship, has to learn how to be more respectful in how we respond, as soon as we realize that someone is thinking differently than we do.
But more than that, we could actually eliminate the majority of disagreement in our lives. It won’t be difficult because the majority of the time a disagreement doesn’t really exist – it’s a misunderstanding! We all know this. We just forget it in the middle of a conflict. We think we are right, they are wrong and it’s our job to prove to them they are wrong. And when are they grateful? Never. But we still do it all the time. It’s a habit....
