- Gratitude December 5, 2019Here’s a piece I came across recently. It was written by author Melody Beattie. She wrote “Codependent No More” and other powerful books on issues of drug and alcohol addiction, their consequences, and how they affected more than the primary dependent. She has been a powerful and valued resource for many. Gratitude unlocks the […]docspeak
- “IT ALWAYS SOUNDED LIKE ME” October 11, 2019I really didn’t know much other music than the country kind before I went into the service. I enjoyed playing guitar, so, of course, my Guitar Hero was Chet Atkins (and still is). In expanding my musical horizons while on active duty, I became familar with the talent and musical insight of guitarist Carlos Santana. […]docspeak
- “If You Don’t …” (Adapted from Nora Roberts) September 14, 2019If you don’t go after what you want … YOU’LL NEVER HAVE IT. If you don’t ask … THE ANSWER WILL ALWAYS BE “NO!” If you dont’ step forward … YOU’LL STAY IN THE SAME PLACE.docspeak
- When Love Rode on a Dime (Dr. James Sutton) August 6, 2019Summertime and warm weather take me back to some of my growing-up years in Abilene, Texas. I was always eager to welcome the west Texas summers. School would be out; I could leave my shoes under the bed. One of my dearest summer memories was watching for the mailman to leave something special in our […]docspeak
- The Flag that Found Me (Dr. James Sutton) July 3, 2019My proudest moment to be an American came when I wasn’t even in America at the time. It was 1969; I had taken a small group of sailors to a camp in East DaNang, South Vietnam. This was in I Corps; the enemy was close … and active. We were there to assist the First […]docspeak
- Reasons to Be Compassionate (Dr. James D. Sutton) June 11, 2019For whatever reason, this little quote captured my attention this morning when I found it in my email: If you ever run short on reasons to be compassionate, remember there is ALWAYS at least one good reason: It makes you feel better than anything else you could do. When I read this and concluded I […]docspeak
- It’s a Little Thing, But … (Dr. James Sutton) April 29, 2019I saw this yesterday as I was walking into a store, and was immediately struck with the notion of just how little some folks care about showing even a tiny bit of kindness, decency, and a respect for others. Their shopping cart was abandoned right next to the cart collection station. It would have taken […]docspeak
- “I Wish You Enough” (Dr. James Sutton) March 7, 2019I’ve heard of this concept before, “I wish you enough,” but it seemed to have more impact on me this morning when I received it from my friend, Jim Gentil, in Austin, Texas. The piece really stands as a mandate for us not to wish the world for our children and our loved ones, because […]docspeak
- GOOSE SENSE (Dr. James Sutton) February 9, 2019As tough as it might be to shed a reputation for being everything from silly to not-so-smart, the goose also stands as an example of some qualities that most folks would stand in line to acquire. Even a long, slow line. Take efficiency, for example. Wild geese fly in a “V” formation for a reason […]docspeak
- Humility: A First Step to Greatness (Dr. James Sutton) January 11, 2019Although there are many thoughts on why some folks excel while others struggle, I do believe that, in most cases, the difference comes down to a sense of personal confidence balanced with authentic humility. It’s an “I’m comfortable enough in my own skin that I can step outside of myself to recognize and encourage others” […]docspeak
