An article I read from AARP.org Bulletin (2016 Sept), How the Health Care System Can Harm You- written by Richard Laliberte concerned information about our health care system. The consensus discusses how many patients die per year due to medical errors-which of course is not current news, but I can understand the importance of keeping patients abreast of it even now.   Richard Laliberte identifies in this article several ways in which patients may be harmed in health care sys

There has been a lot of media talk, discussion and debate about trash and how it may affect everyone. In part to a discussion, I had on this subject recently, I felt it would be very helpful to share with my loyal readers the inspirational thought process that was part of the discussion. Trash in its bare essence according to many dictionary meanings translates to something worth little or nothing. Would you define yourself or your way of living congruently with this meaning?

Allow yourselves as independent beings to feel free to soar and breathe in a calming conscience of what, where, and how you see your life being. Then take that vision and incorporate it into your life with your partner and build it together. This is now your new happy place on a different platform than before.   Embrace it and live it!       Copyright © 2025 Brenda Rockward Coaching  LLC   LifeSkillsAuthor.com    All rights reserved   Request permission from the owner and aut

Stop trying to convince yourself when  you speak about change; change that you know will bring peace and a better outcome.   Be aware of what  you speak that may come off negative as it can hinder your progression and  this can become habitual. If you are thinking that hard into it, then your self-esteem and much more is in the way.   When you remove these negative tendencies there is no need to speak as if you need to convince yourself. You already have the answer.   Now app

“the ways of how many have labeled children who do not behave or conform as bad, unruly, lacking, unfit, poor, trash, challenged…needs to disappear. I encourage the use of this acronym “TIE” that I (Coach Brenda) designed for educational institutions and for use with your child or children at home. You may be surprised at its power to change.”   “(T) teach – teach in the way of grace, impart living knowledge.   (I) instill – instill the principles in the way they should live

Today brings on a new start and new essence to what your life is and will forever be. You can choose to be happy; you can choose to be angry; you can choose to always want to be alone, you can choose to be always wanting for something. A lot of these "You can" statements have a likeness to someone's life; their situations, their grief, their love and how they are loving... the list can go on. But I will say it again: “Today brings on a new start and new essence to what your l

In some situations, silence is good as it gives you time to reflect and reposition your mindset to move forward positively; you can develop strategies more effectively for whatever presented situation because your brain is not operating a thousand miles a minute and crashing before your eyes.   Other types of silence may not be as engaging. For example, you are giving silence to someone who upset you, or made you angry, or a disappointing situation happens, and you fall silen

Life is a plenitude of choices. Some are easy to make, and others may cause great frustration. It helps to listen to that internal voice and how it makes you feel at the thought of “yay” or “nay.”   Display all the data related to that choice; seek friends or family objectives and even a professional objective viewpoint if you must. In the end, however, it is your decision of choice, and you alone must be at ease and feel free with the choice you made.   It is not wise to fee

If you are having a difficult time juggling the pieces of your life that entail such things as wants, desires, healing, finding out more about you etc.... it may be time to explore the existence of your vestibular system and proprioception (balance along with space and position) in that order using basic meditation or through a combination of yoga/meditation. This may allow you to begin to connect all the dots concerning yourself and be more attuned and adept to others. Your

This posting is about being fully engaged in a world of equality searching. Having said that, I recommend the book “July’s People” by author, Nadine Gordimer. It’s a fascinating read and will help even the sternest of minds open fluidly to life battles and recognition’s and remember what our communicative messages are to each other -known and unknown all over the world no matter what we look like or where we hail from.   Copyright © 2025 Brenda Rockward Coaching  LLC   LifeSk

Today, someone needs something. Today someone’s heart is broken over something that they can’t even fathom. Today someone is praying for a miracle.

What your purpose is in life is not all about you and what you want…rather it has to do with what you do with that purpose that does good for another. Your purpose is another’s blessings.

Remember this as you set out on your journey of purpose.   -the fulfillment will enlighten you.     Copyright © 2025 Brenda Rockward Coaching  LLC   LifeSkillsAuthor.Com    All rights reserved   Request permission from the owner and author before attemp

Some of us try to live perfect lives when there is no need. You try to impress others because you feel that’s what you must do or what you do is not good enough. It’s far better to just live true than to live in trying to be perfect. By not being true you bring into your life unnecessary stress, lies, and most likely a lonely feeling of hanging on that vine without the breadth of life in you.   Bring in the beauty of life by living true and watch how many wonderfully blessed

According to some calendar entries for October 19th roughly, it marks that day as a New Moon day which relates to feasting and fasting.   If you are familiar with your Bible, then you understand what this means. However, I will not digress on those measures; but what I will state for this day and time when it comes…make this day a day of new beginnings, new feelings and adventures.   Turn over a new leaf and not be the same person you were yesterday…be better than you were ye

Envision waking up in the wee of the morning hearing a Rooster crow; the faintness of a hoot owl telling its story in the background; no environmental noises of the world-just the stillness and sweetness of feeling peace and solitude. You are experiencing at that moment a meditative chi. It is what you may apply every day and in everything you do. Frame the Moment. Copyright © 2025 Brenda Rockward Coaching LLC.

A lot of couples may say they know their loved one (wife/husband; girlfriend/boyfriend). Example: knowing their every move, characteristics etc. But how many couples can say they UNDERSTAND their loved one? Knowing and Understanding are two different equations in relationship communications. Many couples can live together for years to come and never understand their loved one. It’s like you may hear from time to time from other couples… “You know I love him/her, but I just do

Losing someone we love is a devastating period. The enormous amount of grief we feel can seem like it will last a lifetime. The truth of the matter is that the grief will last a lifetime; but the way it will feel will be different as time passes on.   The load of what grief places on us will lessen and we can start breathing and living again…loving again for some. Periods of remembrance will bring a downpour of tears but over time we learn that this is part of living, and tho

Self-esteem is not a terrible thing. It is part of our humane makeup and does not become an issue typically until you start to develop an imbalance. Either you do not feel good enough about yourself and who you are, or you feel too much of yourself which can be equally damaging not only to yourself but others around you. There are times in life when people may fall victim to self-esteem that affect every day of their lives, and they may not realize they are in that sort of ho
