These are worth repeating until they're burned into your heart and on your brain. Dale Carnegie had a lot of good ideas about living a better life. I've shared these before. So practical and simple, and timeless, really. Here he shares some fundamental facts about worry and how to transcend and overcome this universal human …

I'm known for putting together rather eclectic meal combinations from time to time. Might be my dad's influence -- peanut butter, bananas, some mayo, maybe with a pickle, was one of his favorite "dishes "(so to speak).

My wife is really good at this. Or at least, she sure seems to be better than I am. There …
The best part about weekends is sometimes the magic of the mundane. I've written about this idea in the past. It resonates again today. Errands and chores with a couple of the kids, a lucky little chunk of time hanging out with my better half for a lunch date at the local Greek Festival. These …
