Want More Happiness in Your Life? Make Your Own

On November 6, 2018

With mid-term elections upon us, are you as tired as I am about the overwhelming amount of anxiety, frustration, anger, disappointment, blame, fear (and fear-mongering), and hopelessness and desperation in our country? Whatever happens on Nov 6th, some part of our community will likely continue to feel that way. When I read about the idea

Do You Know Who’s Cleaning Your Office?

On October 16, 2018

Do you know who processes your travel reimbursements, cleans your floors, empties your trash, guards the building? If these people are not directly interacting with you in your job, chances are you don’t. As we used to say in the Army, there’s the pointy tip of the spear…but it doesn’t fly alone. The pointy tip

Where Did Your Wings Take You?

On September 20, 2018

Jump, and you will find out how to unfold your wings as you fall. –Ray Bradbury, author I don’t really think of myself as a ‘jump off the cliff’ type, more a ‘calculated risk’ taker. I prefer to travel off the beaten path, yet I can’t see myself hacking a new trail through unexplored

It’s Not About You…It Really is About Me

On August 2, 2018

I am getting ready to plunk down a significant amount of money for a major purchase. I need to feel confident this is a good fit for me. Distractingly, the sales person I am working with spent more time spinning their own tale about the purchase than with how well the purchase fit me. This

Am I Priming Myself For Positive Or Negative?

On July 24, 2018

Have you ever gone some place anticipating the worst and been totally—pleasantly—surprised? Priming, a function of our brains, plays such a huge role in what we experience. Last week I was in Mexico.
