1. Something I spent time thinking about this week (and thought I’d share with you)… Ever tried to help someone who wouldn’t let you help them? Especially when they really need help. Frustrating, eh? Oh… and exhausting… confusing… annoying… etc. A good friend, Dr. Noel Abood, shared a very good, and helpful, way of thinking…
There’s a saying… success leaves clues. When we are successful, there are usually strategies, steps, and processes that helped lead us to those wins. If we pay attention, we can note what worked, and what didn’t, and utilize that data to ensure more consistent success in the future. There are hundreds of books loaded with…
1. Snack I’m loving… I love potato chips. I avoid them because they are not good for you. Boulder Canyon is a brand that I do eat. They have no artificial junk in them, they do not use bad seed oils, and there are only three ingredients… potatoes, avocado oil, and sea salt. They taste…

I remind myself regularly that just because something has not been done, or just because everyone says you can’t do something, doesn’t mean that it can’t be…
This year’s Super Bowl had its customary hype around the commercials. There were some great ones, some that were so-so, and some that were just plain bad. A few were, in my opinion, a bit misleading. Pfizer put out an ad with a kid leaving a hospital dancing and shadowboxing with boxing gloves and shoes…
1. Something of interest to me… I’ve always been intrigued with human history. Our ancestors endured incredible adversity. For us to not only survive, but thrive, through history as a species is amazing. One period of time, the 1800s, has captured my attention lately. We’ve watched three shows that help capture what things were like…
Zig Ziglar used to say, “Your spouse didn’t leave you because you didn’t make the bed that day.” Poor results, bad outcomes, and failures seldom occur because of a single thing. One bad decision, one incident, or one mistake can shift our trajectory toward catastrophe, but usually isn’t the sole cause of that catastrophe. I…
