Love, Life, and Death

Hello my fellow Wax Porhetoric folks, It is once again time to reflect upon love, life, and death. Some of us are fortunate to find love in various ways in life. Some sadly hardly find it.

Almost Six Months

Almost Six Months It’s been almost six months since my mother passed away. I can honestly say this is by far the hardest thing that I have ever gone through.

Keep Up With Your Passions

So there I was writing what I thought was going to be a quick post (once I get going…egads! There’s no stopping me) on The Social Beast about holding out and not taking such a horrific job in this economy simply to survive. At one time I had that terrible job and it affected all parts of my life. My

What Is Your Purpose

Have you ever stopped to think about what your purpose in life is? Stop thinking about the rat race that we are all in and think about why we are here? I’ve been pondering such lately. It seems as if the whole world has gone bonkers and has gotten caught up in a material life. I’m fairly certain that it

Find What Makes You Happy…Then Do It

Hello to all the loyal readers and newcomers to Wax Porhetoric. Today we shall wax poetically (and you will enjoy my rhetoric…oh yes you shall!) about finding what it is that makes you happy in life and how you should just do it. Many people in this world will say that is a childish view of things. Is it really

Keeping the Faith

In good times and bad, we’ve got to keep the faith. Often that is easier said than done, especially in the bad times, but it’s true. Hello again my fellow wanderers through life. It’s time for us to yet again slow down, take a breath, and recollect ourselves. Times are a bit rough out there (still no full-time job for
