Have You Ever Wondered Whether You Were Coming or Going?
A phrase often used when life becomes very busy and very hectic. When we are in these times, it can seem as though we are running in circles. And yes, if you were literally running in a circle, it would be extremely difficult to determine if you were coming or going. I am well familiar […]
Have you ever wished you would have “thought of that sooner?”
Recently I was giving a “lunch & learn” presentation at a nationally-recognized corporate headquarters: Think “duck,” quack, quack. The presentation was connected to Arbor Day, which this year – for me anyway – feels like it’s happening every weekend.

Do you ever have trouble shaking an old memory or thought?

I know there are those of you […]
Groundhog Day. It comes around year after year.
Groundhog Day. Like clockwork. What a day! All the hype surrounding a rodent and its ability to forecast the weather. We won’t get into accuracy levels. Apparently, accuracy and weather forecasting are totally unrelated anyway. Don’t get me wrong, I like all the hype – we can all use a little silliness in our lives […]

Quagmire – Getting Out While You Can
Although I’m not big on doing themes or a series with my blogs, my last few have all sort of tied in together. First, “Resolution or Realization,” points out that the reality of life is that it “just happens.” It does not matter what our great master plan is, things often beyond our control, just […]
