I Never Thought I Would Do This
Friends, it has been one heck of a week. In three days, I went to four schools and gave 12 talks. If you would have told me I would walk out into the center of a gymnasium, with the stands full of hundreds of high schools, to share my message of giving, gratitude, and goals, [...]

Totally burned out, my schedule had me up at 4:00am pounding away at a computer until 1:00am. My health deteriorated day after day. The madness that had been created by my boss around doing more, more, and still more led to multiple complete breakdowns. I'd sit at my computer and cry, as I didn't know [...]

This Valentine’s Day Is One I Won’t Forget
Not all Valentine's Days are rosy. As I sat at a Cracker Barrel, working on my first fiction book, I couldn't help but notice how attentive and kind my waitress had been. I dug into my wallet and glanced at the $20 and $50 bill in the pocket. My bill total was only $9 so [...]

Embrace This to Help You Get Through Stressful Times
Friends, I have mostly been MIA since December. I can't believe it's been almost two months since I've communicated with you. How has the first month of 2022 been for you? I hope you are lovely! For me, I'm surviving. I guess that's not 100% true because I'm still on track with all my 2022 [...]

Ask These 9 Questions for More Focused Goals in 2022
Several years ago I attended an event focused on goal setting. One of the most meaningful exercises I participated in was the “Year in Review.” I hadn't went through this exercise before as I'm usually forward thinking and don't often like to look back. But looking back, just for a moment, can help you get [...]

Start Noodling Now for Better Goals in 2022!
I love noodling. After I thought about the word, I wasn't sure I used it in the proper context, but sure enough, according to the free dictionary, one can... -Noodle about: think about something in an idle, aimless, or purely speculative manner -Noodle around: spend time investigating, perusing, or examining something -Noodle over: ponder, consider, [...]

Wow, another Thanksgiving approaches, and I'm in awe as I look back with so much to be grateful for, even through some trying times. Remember back in April, when I got bit by a spider, got an infection, and spent three days in the hospital? That was no fun. But my struggles didn't end when [...]
