“I’ve learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends on our dispositions and not on our circumstances.” -Martha Washington I very much believe that statement to be true. Our attitude about things is such a major determination of our happiness level in life. And we control our attitude by controlling [...]

Ah, yes, time. The one thing we never seem to have enough of. Days pass by so quickly that it feels impossible to get it all done. And yet some days we go at a million miles an hour only to come to the end of the day and wonder what the heck we actually [...]

Isn`t it funny how in life we have that room in the house we keep everyone out of in order to save it for that “special occasion”, or the china plates that we only eat from on a “special occasion”, or the towels in the bathroom that can only be used on a “special occasion”. [...]

A man, whom I have tremendous respect for, shared a poem he wrote himself over the course of many years of his life, starting when he was 68 years old and finishing it at the age of 88. It tells a fantastic message of why we should embrace the process of growing older, as growing [...]

“Never forget that you are one of a kind. Never forget that if there weren’t any need for you in all your uniqueness to be on this earth, you wouldn’t be here in the first place. And never forget, no matter how overwhelming life’s challenges and problems seem to be, that one person can make [...]

It was a great meeting and I truly joy serving with such amazing board members. All are highly successful people who place integrity and [...]

Why is it that when we are young we just wish we could be a grown-up – then we become grown-ups and we can’t help but wish we could be a kid again. I can’t recall where I got this list about being a kid again, but it brings back the memories of just how [...]

Yes, it’s that time of year again – the time for Spring Cleaning. And what better time to get it done than over the Spring Break holiday week? I personally dread Spring Cleaning because I have A.D.D. For those of you who are not familiar with the term A.D.D it stands for Attention Deficit Disorder, [...]

Have you ever had a week where you get to Wednesday and you feel like you it’s been three weeks, yet it’s only been three days? Yeah, well it’s been one of those weeks so far. I haven’t slept enough, I’ve pushed myself to hard, I’ve taken on too much…I know all of you can [...]

I moved around a tremendous amount growing up. My family lived in Oregon, Washington, Michigan, Virginia, Tennessee, Texas, California, and finally Utah. Living in so many places was rough as a kid, but as an adult I found that it came to help me tremendously when it came to finding connections with people which helped [...]

Some days I get really frustrated at the fact that there are a million things I really want to get done, yet there are just not enough hours in the day to do them all! And trying to pick and choose which things to put first can be one of the most challenging parts of [...]

“Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them – work, family, health, friends and spirit and you’re keeping all of these in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the [...]

One of my biggest weaknesses in this life is being able to say “no” when someone needs me. I struggle when I see any situation where I know I can be of help to not make time to help someone. And I know the real reason it is hard for me is because I desperately [...]

That is a quote from Charles Noble, and how true it is! I am realizing that my bad habit of being a workaholic is not getting better…the fact that it’s almost 9pm and I am still at the office working would evidence this fact! Clearly balance is something I really need to work on in [...]
