I’m feeling grateful today. My brother is responding well to treatment and is on the road to recovery. All of your prayers, well wishes and words of encouragement have done their part. Jeff has done his part as well, toughing it out through a difficult and uncomfortable process. In his own words… “After many days…
DetailsSounds like a contradiction right out of the gate, doesn’t it? By definition, uncontrollable circumstances cannot be controlled. For those of us who like to be in charge and know what to expect, it can be pretty frustrating when surprises come along. You can choose to deny or fight the new reality, or you can…
DetailsThese days, meetings can take place in a conference room, video-conference, web conference or Starbucks. Sometimes there is a pre-meeting BEFORE the big client meeting, just to make sure everyone is on the same page. Sometimes there is a post-meeting to discuss what you discussed. And there’s one more meeting you attend whether you like it or…
DetailsI think “wake-up call” may be one of most misused phrases in our language. It is typically used to describe a surprise, something that suddenly popped up and really got our attention.

No. I’d rather have some fun pointing out how politicians spin the English language. A clever euphemism can be a powerful ally in a campaign, and…
DetailsHave you ever been forced to make a hard decision between the lesser of two evils? Let’s set aside political elections for a moment. I’m talking about personal decisions you’ve had to make under difficult circumstances, when you had limited options. We went on a family river rafting trip on the Tuolomne river a few…
DetailsThe images from September 11, 2001 are permanently etched on our national consciousness. I’ll never forget what happened, and pray that it never happens again. I’d like to propose that September 12 be the real holiday… the day we all came together. We were unified as Americans, flying flags of freedom, connected to each other’s…
DetailsCan you smell it? Football season is in the air again. I just joined in for a few downs with some neighborhood teenagers playing touch in the street in front of my house. As I counted down one Mississippi to five Mississippi before rushing the quarterback, I flashed back to the glory days of mud…
DetailsHave you ever made a ranked list of what matters most to you in your life? Not easy, is it? And the minute you make that assessment, your circumstances could change. That’s the thing about priorities… they are relative and situational. What used to be #1 on your list could drop like a rock, and #10…
