As a parent, you have probably told your children many times as they leave the house: make good choices. Our lives are a accumulation of the choices we make, so the younger we can teach kids the importance of decisions, the better! As adults, I think we can forget this principle. Perhaps we think […]
A Thanksgiving Poem
Wishing you and your family great health and a grateful heart this holiday season.
Rezzonico Park in Verde Valley
Did you get some wonderful rain? We sure did, and the temperatures finally feel like November. I’m grateful! I can’t believe this is Thanksgiving week. What are your plans? We’ll go on some family walks and enjoy some turkey. Of course, Mom will transform the house into a Christmas wonderland. I supervise, and Mowgli helps […]
How to Have Healthy Conflict
Did you see yourself in any of the conflict styles I described last week? If you are honest with yourself, you identified with one or two ways you tend to handle conflict. None of them were very healthy, and the reality is, unless we work at it, we can fall into negative patterns easily. […]
What’s Your Conflict Style?
Our pastor has been preaching out of the book, Songs of Songs, from the Bible. It is chock full of great marital advice, and one such area is conflict. Every relationship will experience conflict. We all approach it differently, though, and my experience and training indicate our conflict style is often a reflection of […]
Your Words Matter
I can’t remember the last time I used the word “problem” because it is such a negative word. Our brains immediately get stuck whereas if we use the word “challenge,” our brain quickly searches for solutions. The words we choose matter, and we have the choice to set ourselves up for success or failure. How […]

Prior to social media, we would never attempted to manage 2,000 friendships. Can you even imagine it? The idea is absurd; yet, many people confuse real friendships with those of mere acquaintances. As a result, people are exhausted trying to keep up with everyone, and they tend to get hurt when no one acknowledges their […]
See God in Everything
I was recently complemented for how I seem to find God in the most unusual places. Any movie I watch or song I hear, I can discover God in and through it. I appreciate the kind words, and I share my insights through my blogs and vlogs, so I hope you see Him, too. Any […]
Are Your Leaders FIT?
If you want great leadership, you must be investing in them both personally and professionally. Work goes home, and home comes to work. This simply truth has been ignored for way too long, and I am hopeful we are finally learning the importance of work/life balance! I have been an advocate for work/life balance […]
A Message from Marley
The movie is from 2008, but I love it just the same. Marley and Me stars Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston, but Marley the dog steals the show! A sweet story of love and family, one of my favorite lines is spoken after a huge fight between husband and wife. They are both exhausted […]
