Last week I was traveling out of town and then I returned home and ended up sick in bed for the remainder of the week. I am not a person who is sick very often, and I am not a person who can handle slowing down very well, but this last week I didn’t have […]
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 […]
Have you ever had the experience of meeting someone for the first time, but having that feeling that you already know them? There is an instant connection and an immediate comfort as if you have known them all your life. You feel totally at ease sharing things with them because there is that sense of […]
“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 […]
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, […]

For any wondering what passive-aggressive behavior looks like, I will try and give some examples that paint a picture. A passive-aggressive person is someone […]
In the world of business we spend a significant amount of time coming up with company mission statements and company values. We then set company goals that we believe will help us achieve our company purpose. In companies it’s just expected that every company has gone through that exercise. But when is the last time […]
In the book Alice in Wonderland, Lewis Carroll writes: “If you drink much from a bottle marked ‘poison,’ it is almost certain to disagree with you, sooner or later.” Obviously none of us set out to intentionally drink poisons. Yet, it is amazing how innocently they seem to show up in our lives, first in […]
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 […]
At the end of a long, stressful day of duties and responsibilities and hard work it can be really hard to disconnect from the office and the stress so that we don’t take it into our homes with us at night. The last thing our families want to deal with is our stress from 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 […]
I was able to hear an amazing talk the other day that every person in this world would benefit from reading. The talk was fairly long, so I have copied and pasted some of the sections of the talk below to share it with you. It’s not the entire talk below, but I pulled out […]
“Either you run the day, or the day runs you.” -Jim Rohn I attended a meeting this weekend in which there were some amazing speakers. One of the speakers shared her life story which started with growing up in an upper class family, going to college, getting married, having children, etc. She was a classy, […]
