What is the Greatest Holiday Gift?
I was listening to the radio today to two announcers who were panicking about how much shopping they had still left to do before Christmas. So how is it that we take great holidays and reduce them to a checklist of things to buy? When we were kids, my dad was insistent that if we were … Continue reading
Quit Complaining – It’s Bad For Your Health
Okay, here’s the situation. I’m in line at Starbucks (seems I am always here). The two people in front of me are nicely dressed – and seem professional. Then I hear them talk.

We are in Sonoma this week, celebrating my partner’s 50th birthday. It has been a week of amazing weather, great wine tasting, slowing things down (just a bit) and appreciating a section of the country that has everything in bloom at this very moment. I see why so many people live here. Sonoma and Napa are world renowned … Continue reading
Take Action to Get Ahead in Work and Life
n my workplace, I notice those who step up and take action, and those that let others solve the problems and add the value. Those that take action go places – they own their progress, success and direction. The others wait for things to happen; they spend their time thinking that they are victims of management or … Continue reading
You Are A Freak (And So Am I)
Okay, maybe not a freak – but you are different and so am I. I was on my way to work today and had to stop at a grocery store to get some things for a lunch and learn session. I saw a heavily tattooed girl, probably 25 years old – with a good collection … Continue reading
