What's Your Take on Oprah?

I am sure there are a lot of things we don’t hear about that she does but I can’t argue she always emblazons her name on anything we do hear about. It’s a bit gauche for my taste.

Make a Goodies Drawer at Work

How many times have you been working at a fast pace and couldn’t stop for lunch?  When this happens, wouldn’t it be great to have chips, popcorn, maybe some candy bars, sodas, even a few boxes of crackers with maybe some cheese (if you have a fridge nearby).  You wouldn’t hesitate to get a memory [...]

[Podcast] What Makes a Winner?

ADVERTISEMENT

Welcome to my first real attempt at a podcast.  It wasn’t the Mp3 conversion that was the toughest nor the recording of the several minute speech.  No friends, it was the rain that kept my dog in with me in the garage where I recorded it, my 2 daughters wanting to climb me as I [...]

Stop, Look, and Support

There comes a time in life when we have done all we can do and the only thing left is to wait through the day to day.  I have a bloggy friend, for example, who has been given her share of lemons and is trying desperately to make lemonade.   What should she do when [...]

Focus on Three Things Today

If you are a high achiever who has 110 things on her/his to-do list today, this post may not be for you.  If you want to be a high achiever but get overwhelmed at times, this might be more suited to you.
I was talking to a new friend, Justin, the other day through emails about [...]

Open Minded at the Get-Go

When you take on a project, it’s important to remember that your ideas will grow and develop as you travel through it. Too many times I have visualized the end product of a project before it was time and ended up unsatisfied at the end. When a boss or family member etc. asks [...]

Choosing Life Outside My Box

I remember a song by a Christian artist “Randy Stonehill” in the 80’s: “Stop the World, I Want to Get Off.”  After today and some things that happened I totally relate with that song.  Do you ever reach the point where you just never want to do anything extra for anyone ever again?  I have [...]

Broken Mood Thermostat of Bipolar Disorder

My hope in this series is to produce a paradigm shift in people’s attitude toward bipolar.  Remember when you were a kid and your parents said you were going somewhere really special?  Depending on your age, it could have been grandmother’s house or a flight to a 3 day stay at Disneyland.  Remember feeling your [...]

The Elements of Blogging

Sometimes I wish I could fix all the annoying things I find on blogs.  Has that notion ever filled your head?  How do people think they can get blog traffic when they can’t write a cohesive paragraph?
It’s been said there is more than one way to skin a cat.  That is true of getting blog [...]

Whatever Gets You Through the Night

You may know the title is a John Lennon tune. I think getting through the night is sometimes easier said than done when you are down.  For babies, sometimes all you need to do is change the crib bedding, for grownups, it’s not always so easy.  There is a reason companies offer a plethora [...]
