Word for the Day: Tuesday, June 30, 2020
The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Consequence. So Revelations have Consequences? (Certainly! What doesn't?) But please consider that Ignoring (or, in some way, Blocking) Revelations *also* have Consequences. Think about it!
Monday, June 29, 2020
Word for the Day: Monday, June 29, 2020
The Word for Today (Monday) is Elimination. Eliminating Revelation itself? (Please, No!) But Eliminating things, that might get in the way of you being in a good State of Mind to Receive Revelations? That might make sense. Things, such as Self-Doubt and Victim Mentality can get in the way. You get the picture.

Word for the Day: Sunday, June 28, 2020
The Word for Today (Sunday) is Self-Reliance. A Self-Reliant Revelation? (Why not?) But a Revelation about why it's good to be Self-Reliant fits too. But remember that we have others around us too.
Weekly Theme: Week of June 28 to July 4, 2020
The Theme for this Week is Revelation. So what does Google say? Revelation is "a surprising and previously unknown fact, especially one that is made known in a dramatic way". Please note that there are also Religious Connotations for this Theme, but I think the given Definition is good enough. Now let's see how this fits our Week.

Word for the Day: Saturday, June 27, 2020
The Word for Today (Saturday) is Expansion. Expanded Philosophy? [or] Philosophy of Expansion? (Lots of Google Hits on this one!) But let's be Selective about what we Expand. Intellect and Spirituality? Fine! Your Body, around the Middle (due to lots of Delicious Food)? Not so great. Careful there!
Friday, June 26, 2020
Word for the Day: Friday, June 26, 2020
The Words for Today (Friday) are Trust and Faith. What a Philosophy this can make. But be Selective. For example, I Trust the Universe, and have Faith in a Higher Power. But, when "standard" Human Beings are involved, Trust needs to be Earned, and Faith should not be Blind.
Thursday, June 25, 2020
Word for the Day: Thursday, June 25, 2020
The Word for Today (Thursday) is Gratitude. A Philosophy of Gratitude? (Sounds Awesome to me! Also, 58.5 million Hits on Google). And let's talk about Gratitude: In my opinion, Gratitude helps the World go around. So I ask you: What are you Grateful for?
Wednesday, June 24, 2020
Word for the Day: Wednesday, June 24, 2020
The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Equality. An Equal Philosophy? (Say what?) [or] A Philosophy of Equality? On the Second One, I say, "it depends". For I agree with "Equal Opportunity", but am against "Forced Conformity".
Tuesday, June 23, 2020
Word for the Day: Tuesday, June 23, 2020
The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Prudence. A Prudent Philosophy? [or] A Philosophy of Prudence? The second one makes sense, since Prudence is, simply about being Practical. Just don't go overboard and become a Prude.
Monday, June 22, 2020
Word for the Day: Monday, June 22, 2020
The Word for Today (Monday) is Innocence. An Innocent Philosophy? (Probably better than a Guilty one). How about a Philosophy of Innocence? (Hmmm... Over 18 million hits on Google including some interesting-looking ones and the Wikipedia Entry for Innocence). The bottom line? It's better to be Innocent than Guilty.
Sunday, June 21, 2020
Word for the Day: Sunday, June 21, 2020
The Word for Today (Sunday) is Forgiveness. "Forgive my Philosophy"? If it's an honest Philosophy, you should not be asked this question. But, on the other hand, a Philosophy of forgiving others makes sense.
Weekly Theme: Week of June 21-27, 2020
The Theme for this Week is Philosophy. So what does Google say about this? Among other things, "the study of the fundamental nature of knowledge, reality, and existence". A Question some of us have been asked: "What is your Philosophy of Life?" This is a good topic to look up, and ponder. And have fun, doing it.
Saturday, June 20, 2020
Word for the Day: Saturday, June 20, 2020
The Word for Today (Saturday) is Authenticity. An Authentic Education? (Look for the Certificate of Authenticity, like you see with those Plates sold on TV). But the best place for Authenticity, is the admonition to Be Authentic to Yourself.
Friday, June 19, 2020
Word for the Day: Friday, June 19, 2020
The Word for Today (Friday) is Interpretation. One way this works well with our Theme, is that Interpreter is a good Career Path, that can be learned in College. Turning this around, interpreting our Educational System can be a major undertaking. And now we have online learning options, above and beyond what was offered before. Enjoy!
Thursday, June 18, 2020
Word for the Day: Thursday, June 18, 2020
The Word for Today (Thursday) is Socialization. Socialization in an Educational Environment? (Some people think that's the most important part!) Now, usually, I like to suggest that, "in person" Socialization is better than, say, online options. But our situation isn't normal right now. So we do what we can.
Wednesday, June 17, 2020
Word for the Day: Wednesday, June 17, 2020
The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Concentration. Concentrated Education? (Just add water). One important Teaching I received: "You get what you Concentrate on". That can go, either in a good or bad direction, depending on the Details of what you are Concentrating on. So Concentrate well!
Tuesday, June 16, 2020
Word for the Day: Tuesday, June 16, 2020
The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Acceptability. Acceptable Education? (I would certainly *hope* so!) But remember what is most important about Today's Word: Be Acceptable to Yourself.
Monday, June 15, 2020
Word for the Day: Monday, June 15, 2020
The Word for Today (Monday) is Generosity. "A Generous Education Teaches people Generosity". The reason this can seem to work is that we learn by Example. For example, would you expect Scrooge ("A Christmas Carol") to competently teach you Generosity? Didn't think so.
Sunday, June 14, 2020
Word for the Day: Sunday, June 14, 2020
The Word for Today (Sunday) is Sharing. And what better to Share, than what you have Learned? In my opinion, all of Life is a Learning Experience, and anybody around me can be my Teacher, at least for a time. So Share and Share alike!
Weekly Themes: Week of June 14-20, 2020
The Themes for this Week are Education and Teaching. The way I see this, Education includes Teaching, but you can be "Taught" outside of an Educational Context. (In fact, I consider that I learn things frequently, in "Everyday Life"). One phrase I learned, decades ago: "Everyone around me can be my Teacher". This ought to be a *very* interesting week!
