March Is OUR Month!
Do you remember what you were doing on this day five years ago? Two years ago? For some of us to remember what we did last Tuesday, we may have to pause and think, What did I do last Tuesday? For sure, mundane events that circumvent or invade our lives every day can make remembering a bit taxing, but there are some things that one should make every effort to remember: appointments, dinner invites, family get-togethers, birthdays, and of course… anniversaries! I realize that for many the...

As I reflect back on my previous month’s post (To Quit or Not To Quit), I feel the need to pursue the “quitting” theme once again. There were some who felt that a person should continue on, climb that mountain, as it were, despite the odds, while others felt it was okay to quit, but only for the right reasons.

For sure, the infamous shoulda/coulda/woulda syndrome may raise its ugly head, point its accusing finger, but the year has ended and there is nothing more that can be done. I can’t go back in time and undo my...
Read MoreThe Need to Pause and Remember
With the busy season of Christmas fast approaching—or perhaps already here!—I felt the need to pause for a moment and reflect on what the season is really all about, or should be all about. Oh, I know that’s not a new concept, it’s just that the general approach to this important and yes, sacred time of the year seems to be anything but what it should be. During this season Santa has often been given credit for providing a holiday away from work and a chance—or an excuse—to...
