Let’s Spread The Kindness
I am not a big fan of watching the news. I turned the T.V. off years ago when my kids were young because it was a distraction for them during homework time and because I didn't want them hearing what was going on in the world—they were too young to hear most of what...
Little Wins Add Up
I was watching a football game on Sunday and it was a tight battle. As halftime approached, the trailing team came marching down the field rather easily and looked destined to score. Unfortunately, as hard as they tried, they were unsuccessful and were forced to kick...
Building Trust
Have you ever visited the vet with your pet? Maybe it's just our vets, but does your vet have your appointment in one small room, but then takes your pet to another undisclosed back room to take care of immunizations and other possibly scary stuff? I always feel badly...
Motivational Monday!
I hope you had a fabulous holiday weekend! As you know, we have a few dogs. I have written to you about Ella before, she's a "special" dog. And by special, I mean that she marches to the beat of her own drum. She's the size of a small pony, but is afraid of a lot....

Leadership 101—wait, no, 1st Day of Kindergarten: Just because everyone else is doing it doesn't make it right. Do you remember that oldie but goodie? Me, too! OK, good, because I am about to, respectfully, disagree with The Boss, Bruce Springsteen. But before you get...
Motivational Monday!
I read an article about Jay Bilas the other day. If you aren't familiar with Bilas, he is a color commentator for ESPN who played basketball and coached for Duke Men's Basketball along with many other amazing accomplishments. The article, though, was not about his...

Juliet…& Romeo
Yesterday I had the pleasure of going into New York City to see a Broadway Show, & Juliet, with a bunch of friends. The show is great, btw, but I was fascinated by the female lead, Lorna Courtney, who looked about 20 years old! She's actually 24, but can you...
Healthy Conversations
Last night I kicked off my new Leadership Masterclass and our topic of choice was Blind Spots. Let's suffice it to say that if you don't think you have any blind spots—well, that's your blind spot! And, based on some very comprehensive research conducted by minds far...
