Life's Negotiations

I reviewed Simple Shoes recently for the website, Qwowi.com. Take a look!

Spoke to my friend, James, the other day about the Middle Ages when everyone thought the world was flat.

Remember those drawings where sailing vessels fell off the edge of the Earth into oblivion?

We all have that same edge. In front of it is our known world: who we are, what we know to be true. Beyond it is the unknown. Our hopes and dreams live there.

With the economy on everyone's mind, it's no wonder that I spoke to several people recently about worry. Potential job loss and 401(k) deflation can keep you up at night, or at least checking your balance often.

While it doesn't pay to be Pollyanna, the energy wrapped up in worrying puts a damper on actually doing something positive about it.

For example, say you're starting a new business right now. You want to be your own boss and have a great idea that you know will attract customers if you can just get the business off the ground.
