Motivational Monday!
Motivational Monday! Over the weekend, while visiting our dear friends in Delaware, they shared a video of Eli Manning going undercover at the Penn State Football walk-on tryouts. Actually, they don't call it walk-ons there, more accurately Penn State prefers to call...
Friday’s Quote
"There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure." ~ Colin Powell The other day I heard a news report that the crown of the Statue of Liberty was now open again for access. Apparently it had been closed...
Aerial Views
As I shared with you before, helicopters are a thing here in Hoboken. As long as the weather is good, they are flying morning, noon, and night up and down the Hudson River. On occasion though, the morning run is a little different. Instead of the chopper getting...
The Sophie Effect
Do you want 2023 to be your best year? Of course you do, who wouldn't? Let me share a story with you that might help. When we were getting ready to move back in June and July, I was incredibly worried about our 11+ year old Sheep-a-doodle, Sophie, being able to make...
Motivational Monday
Happy MLK Day! I always like to honor why we have off, not just that we have off. So today we can think about Dr. Martin Luther King. It still amazes me that he was only 39-years-old when he died. So many quotes were attributed to him; some that we can recite from...

The Used Car Salesman & You
Last night, we talked about Persistence on my Leadership Masterclass. I love persistence but it's one of those things that, "a little goes a long way," or maybe, it's like walking a tight rope between too much and not enough. It definitely has many nuances to it and...
Slay The Day!
Have you ever read The 5 AM Club by Robin Sharma? Although it's not going to win a Pulitzer any time soon, the message is great: get up early and slay the day! I'm a huge fan of that mindset, but I had fallen off the 5 am bandwagon after my move. One of my goals for...
Motivational Monday!
Did you feel like last week was a weird first week of the new year? Did you feel like it wasn't really the kickstart you had in mind? And did you find yourself constantly feeling like you didn't even know what day of the week it was? Me, too! Last week was horrible...
