Want to know the importance of mentorship? Just ask Loretta Lynn. I recently watched the Lifetime Channel movie Patsy and Loretta (https://www.mylifetime.com/movies/patsy-and-loretta) I’ve always been a Patsy Cline fan as she had a unique sound that seemed to come from deep inside of her. After watching the story of her and Loretta Lynn, I just […]
Why You Need a Coach
Back in my corporate days, I had a mentor/coach on retainer. It wasn’t that I didn’t feel qualified for the position, but I didn’t know what I didn’t know. I appreciated having someone available to bounce things off of and talk through challenging situations. This resource allowed me to make better decisions, communicate more effectively, […]
October 2019
YOUR HEALTH With the holidays rapidly approaching, I thought I should talk about carbohydrates once again. Carbs get a bad rap, especially with the hype around the Keto Diet. If you haven’t already discovered, Keto is very dangerous! Yes, you will lose weight but at the expense of your organs, and the weight WILL […]
Everything Happens for a Reason – Lessons from Han Solo
I am scratching my head as to why the Solo movie got bad reviews. Besides being entertaining and informative about Han Solo, a character from the Star Wars movies, it provided incredible insights for those paying attention. It was also full of adventure and fun! I already shared how Han came from nothing to make […]
Leadership Lessons from Han Solo
I just love movies, and I’ve said before that I believe the reason why all the super hero movies are so popular is that we desperately want someone to believe in; we want a leader like Captain America, and we’ll follow him anywhere! I recently saw Solo and thoroughly enjoyed learning about Han Solo. If […]
Stop Checking Your Brains at the Door
You would think by having the world at our finger tips with the invention of the World Wide Web we would be smarter, brighter, and not easily deceived. Unfortunately, the complete opposite seems to be true. I am dumbfounded and taken back at the things people forward and share on social media that just isn’t […]
Expect Great Things!
I don’t know about you, but I sure learn a lot from my dog and cat. They never attempt anything without first stretching and preparing, and they are always happy to see those they love. What struck me the other day was how Kuma has absolutely no doubts or fears when it comes to his […]
What’s Your Authentic Swing?
I spent yet another weekend in bed. I’ve been battling some kind of crud going on five months now, but that isn’t the point of my blog today. One of the many movies I watched was The Legend of Bagger Vance, a movie from 2000 staring Will Smith and Matt Damon. Will Smith plays Bagger […]
A Safer World Starts at Home
Recently, I was giving a work/life balance training. In it, I shared how I got into the stress management business. I tell the story of my entire life falling apart and not knowing what to do and how to cope because my parents never sat me down and gave me the “stress talk.” I dropped […]
What do your scars say about your life?
Because I’m an active person, I have scars. The more adventurous the life, the more accidents! Each scar tells a story—like the time I crashed a motorcycle going 45 mph—and reminds me that I’m living life to the fullest. I have a forever road tattoo on my left elbow from the motorcycle crash. Other scars […]
