Perspective is gained through time

Time can heal all words, and I share a personal account.

Time isn’t what heals a hurt, but given time, we often reflect and contemplate what we’ve been through. Without the intensity of raw feelings, in time, we can see struggles and storms of life differently. Time certainly doesn’t change the fact that we went through hell, but time can give us a new perspective. What […]

What are you guilty of?

I hope you are guilty of these things. Read more.

At the end of the day–at the very end of life–I want to be found guilty: Guilty of giving more than I received, guilty of loving until I hurt, guilty of giving people the benefit of the doubt, guilty of trusting people, and guilty of thinking the best of people. Do you want to be […]

Learn how to leverage your leadership style

Your Health On August 6, I will undergo surgery to correct issues with Morton’s Neuromas…on both feet.  I have always been about the “total” person, but the agony of “de feet” has reminded me just how important that is.  Total health means we work all aspects of our body, including our feet. Some suggestions:  1) […]

Good health is Worth More Than a Million Dollars

Money is great, but not when it is at the expense of your health. Read more here.

If someone told you that behind a steel store was 50 million dollars in which you could claim with the only condition being you had to open the vault, would you? Let me sweeten the deal…you are allowed to hire experts and use any tools you wish. Would you do it? You’d be foolish not […]

Celebrate Winners

Be sure to congratulate others when they win. Let's not celebrate mediocrity.

During one of the last stages of Le Tour de France this year, someone apparently threw tacks on the race course. Really? Cadel Evans, last year’s winner, got not one or even two but THREE flat tires. Thankfully, the yellow jersey slowed everyone down in order for Evans to catch up. Seems like someone didn’t […]

After the storm comes the calm

Tough times WILL end and the sun WILL shine again. Read here what I have to share about the calm after the storm.

We officially live in the Friendswood area of Texas. Getting here was quite the journey. About everything that could go wrong with a move did. Our mortgage deal and closing were botched to the point where we almost lost our new home. The moving company was weighed and found wanting as they damaged a lot […]

It’s All in the State of Mind

Here I share a poem about the importance of your positive thoughts. Winning is truly a state of mind!

I certainly didn’t break any records running my first marathon, but I enjoyed myself. I witnessed the sun coming up over the mountains as the birds awoke. As I followed the river, it’s steady sound put me in a trance. I thanked all the volunteers at every stage for being there with fresh water and […]

Quit Complaining

We are all so very rich. Quit complaining and read this!

I recently asked a lady who moved to Colorado how long it took her to adjust to the sporadic weather, which I’m having difficulty with since living in Southern California. She replied, “It took me five years.” Curious about that, I asked, “What happened at five years.” She simply stated, “I quit complaining.” The weather […]

May 2012

Your Health This time of year is exciting.  All the plants come alive; flowers begin to bloom.  People come out of their winter hibernation and are eager to enjoy the warmer weather.  With that, though, comes the realization that we may have put a winter layer (or two) on.  We may not have been as […]

Weeding isn’t for Wimps!

Get ready to laugh and cry with my article on Weeding isn't for Wimps! What weeds are you letting grow in your life?

Tis the season…for weeds. After working in the yard, I surveyed my surroundings. I had pulled four types of weeds, and I believe these are the ones we battle the most in our own lives: 1. Shallow but smothering. These weeds are easily pulled out because their roots do not go deep. The challenge is […]
