Groundhog Day
That infamous holiday is quickly approaching! And of course, it got me thinking--remember that Bill Murray movie of the same name? In it, since Murray's character has to repeat the same day over and over,he spends a lot of time learning the piano and researching...
Notice Some Changes?
Nothing is so constant as change, they say. As you might have noticed lately, I've made some serious changes to my website! In addition to streamlining aesthetically, I've added a page explaining my philosophy, as well as a more easily navigated toolbar which...
An Everyday Miracle
As 2015 unfolds, and some have already broken their New Year's resolutions, I am reminded of one of my favorite quotes, often attributed to Albert Einstein: There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though...
Your Hot Water Self vs. Your Everyday Self
Eleanor Roosevelt famously said, “Women are like teabags. You don’t get their full flavor until you put them in hot water.” The same could be said for men, I suppose--but why? Why is it that when put in hot water, we rise up to do extraordinary things, things we...

Thought For the Week: Navigation
Great leadership raises the sails of one's dream, navigates it in the direction of possibility, and converts the opposition & challenges to create the lift required to produce power, drive, and forward momentum. Sound complicated? It's not. It's all about using...
Pessimism Into Engagement
Here's a thought that's been on my mind lately: How do you turn pessimism into engagement? The tragedy of a pessimistic attitude is, unfortunately, something we often have to face on a regular basis--whether that's inside ourselves, feeling glum, or in the face of a...
Your Fair Share
When it comes to relationships, personal, professional or otherwise, sometimes--okay, most times--we’ve got to cut each other some slack. Fair? Oh, how often I hear people say, "Our relationship is fair, equitable, 50/50 even, we each do our fair share..." Sounds...
