I love the end of the year because I always do a gratitude blog for Thanksgiving, a lessons learned blog for December, and a goals blog in January. It serves as a fantastic way to organize myself year by year. Since it’s 2024, I will share 24 items; I doubt anyone would read it if […]
It’s time to write another blog, and I feel a little like that old commercial, “It’s time to make the donuts!” The commitment to put out a blog every other week may not sound like much to the average reader, but I’m telling you, sometimes I just have nothing to say on command. Today is […]
Keeping a gratitude journal is the best habit I maintain. Every day, my gratitude partner, Terri Winfree, and I exchange emails listing five things we are grateful for that day. We have been doing this since August 2020 with no end in sight. Even on challenging days, it has become easy to find the gratitude. […]
Now that Spring has sprung, you might be thinking it’s time for a makeover. I’m sure you’re seeing tips for getting in shape for bathing suit season, but what about your mental shape? Are you in need of a refresh? Sometimes the dormant winter season, with its short days and less sunshine, can create a […]
With the holiday season approaching, many of us are making plans to be with family or are longing for family and unable to get home. While this is true for many in the world, what about those who don’t find spending time with their families something to look forward to? If you are someone fortunate […]
Despite the controversy surrounding Christopher Columbus and the USA’s Thanksgiving holiday, it is hard to find a problem with the idea of giving thanks or gratitude—especially in November, National Gratitude Month. Gratitude is the inoculation against all painful emotions. It’s impossible to consistently hold onto emotions like anger, sadness and anxiety while you are simultaneously […]
The week of November 16-22 has been designated, Global Entrepreneur Week. From the time I was about five-years-old, my father was an entrepreneur. I didn’t really know any other life. My great-grandfather, tracing back as far as I know how, was also an entrepreneur and well, you probably know I am one as well. It […]
I find it somewhat ironic that I discovered this week, October 5-11, is Active Aging Week and it is also the week I turn 60, a decade after receiving my first AARP card. I don’t know if this is normal… I don’t talk about it with a lot of people, but while I realize I’m […]
I can’t imagine a place in the world that isn’t aware of this pandemic called COVID-19, the newest coronavirus. It doesn’t care if you are young, old, male, female, an immigrant, a national, a billionaire, homeless, Christian, Muslim, Jewish or Agnostic. This virus infects whomever it comes in contact with. Even if you are normally […]
I believe 2020 is going to be, for me, a strong year of rebuilding. I have spent the past nine years as the part-time Executive Director for the Glasser Institute for Choice Theory (GIFCT), being paid to deliver eight hours of work each week. I am continuing as the part-time Executive Director for William Glasser […]
