Just Say No to Abuse Declaring War on Terrorism. For the end of the Millennium, I would like to post one of my favorite newspaper columns. This was written in 1997 for my regular column in the local weekly.
Life is change, and change in a person can take only two directions.
You either become more rigid and crystallized, more set in your ways, or you continue to grow, transform, and open up to yourself and the world you live in. For a very long time I dreaded this time of year. Starting at Thanksgiving and running through the Super Bowl the frenzy of commercialism, family expectations and my own emotional baggage were heavy burdens to bear. I have come to terms with many things. I have come to believe that life is like a coiled spring.
