Tidbits On Life was written to shed a little honest light on a
broad spectrum of subjects, in the sincere hope that every
chapter—every tidbit—may reach or touch someone and help to
change his or her life in a constructive, positive, rewarding and
enriching manner.
It's tender... it's tough.
A thirst for knowledge is essential in everyone's life. But, the
person who makes no mistakes very seldom makes very much of
anything.
Kathy Lasseter was born in Guilford, Connecticut, raised in
Miami, Florida and currently resides in the Florida Keys. She
graduated Summa Cum Laude from Barry University in Miami
Shores, FL and has been a life-long student of human nature.
She has owned a chain of Maternity Stores and has been very
active in the Guardian Ad Litem Program, protecting the rights
of children. When she is not painting or writing at her Key
Largo home, she is active in different volunteer charity groups.
Kathy and her husband Ken (a research doctor) have three
children and three grandchildren. She was active with her
younger son, Frank in creating Frank Keys Cafe in Key Largo.
This gourmet restaurant has been listed among the top two
hundred restaurants in Florida by Florida Trend Magazine for the
last eight years.
Currently she is working on a new cookbook and a novel.
Kathy believes that happiness comes from giving back and
judging only yourself.
ALWAYS HAVE A PLAN 'B'
Plan 'A'.
We're absolutely, positively, one-hundred-percent positive it will
work. Not a doubt.
And then, for some reason – maybe not even our fault – it
doesn't. Fails. Falls flat on its face.
Disaster. We fall apart.
Always have Plan 'B' as a backstop. An alternative. As a
position from which to re-group. Attack again.
Certainly, we will be less pleased with Plan 'B', but it's a far, far
better alternative to being devastated by the lack of success with
Plan 'A' than falling into depression. Despair. Defeat.
Life doesn't always treat us as we expect. Or plan. Or as
perhaps we deserve.
Plan, so that if Plan 'A' doesn't come off as you have every right
to expect, Plan 'B' is acceptable.
WORDS
It's really amazing.
What we allow to roll off our tongues, flow through our lips, can
hurt or help or provoke laughter or tears.
Words are powerful.
They can be kind and consoling, or words can desecrate and ruin
a friendship or marriage or partnership.
Words can build, and words can destroy. They can nourish and
nurture, or they can plunder and they can pillage.
Choose your words wisely.
Be certain your brain is in gear before shifting your mouth into
drive.
Words are powerful.
