Eeesh. What is up with this humidity? We left Houston because we like a drier climate. Ugh! Guess that’s what we get with the monsoons; at least we are getting some rain this year. Boy, we could tell driving out to Payson this past weekend. The desert is definitely happy! I’m getting ahead of myself […]
The Will to Work
Across the country, businesses are struggling to get people back to work. The will to work is weak! It can’t be taught in schools, and it most certainly can’t be trained on the job. No, the will to work is born in us and fostered by our parents. We are paying the price for a […]
Kuma’s Drive home from Utah
Thank you to everyone who has expressed sympathy and condolences to me and my family over the loss of my big brother, Edmond. We are doing okay, but I still smell him. I can’t help but not look for him just in case he might be there. His scent is everywhere, so it will take […]
Human Kindness
Last Tuesday, we said goodbye to our 19-year-old cat, Edmond. He succumbed to hyperthyroid disease and just couldn’t fight any more. We were blessed with a long, wonderful life with this big Main Coon cat who leaves a huge hold in our hearts. Today would be his 20th birthday. If you follow me, I have […]
Goodbye Edmond
Life is strange with its twist and turns. Last week started off like any week with mom walking me early in the morning to beat the heat. When we came back, we all saw the condition of my brother, Edmond. He had deteriorated literally overnight. I sensed mom and dad’s hearts breaking, and I smelled […]
Avoid Codependent Coaches
As a personal trainer, I have always prided myself on saying goodbye to clients. When I’ve done my job right, they are empowered to live a healthy lifestyle on their own. They no longer need me, and that’s a victory! Unfortunately, I see too many programs that create crutches for people, and the relationship becomes […]
Kuma at Bryce Canyon National Park & Red Canyon State Park – UT
Can you believe I am still talking about my trip to Utah that we took in June? We were only gone four days, but we packed a lot in! On our second day, we left the Willis Slot Canyon and drove over to the Bryce Canyon National Park. You’ll need a park pass to […]
Remembering the Trailing Spouse
As a recruiter, are you considering the trailing spouse? You know, the one who has to give up everything and leave everyone behind to follow their spouse to their new job? If you aren’t, you are only handling half the equation. You see, if a new hire has an unhappy spouse who doesn’t adjust, plug […]
Kuma Loves Willis Creek Slot Canyon in Utah
I hope you had a happy and safe 4th of July! My mom and dad were down in Mexico celebrating. That’s okay. It gave me time to relive parts of my Utah adventure once again. One of my all-time favorite adventures was hiking a slot canyon. If you recall, we were staying in Panguitch […]
Bad Apples Poison the Whole Barrel
The saying, “Bad apples poison the whole barrel,” is old but still rings true today. I have personally experienced a bad hire above me that resulted in most of the good employees quitting, and I have witnessed it countless times in companies I’ve consulted with through the years. Not only does this destroy morale, but […]
