What you intend, you attract
It’s Friday morning – the best work day for most of us, for we see the end in sight. Chances are good it’s easier to get out of bed this morning than other days through the week. When you look in the mirror, what do you see? Someone about to plod through the day? Someone .. read more
The Power of UMHH…..
The spoken word is quite powerful. This has been exemplified since the time of creation – “And God said, ‘Let it be’ and it was. And it was good.” Ever since the beginning of time we people have understood the power behind what comes out of the mouth. Even when what comes out of our .. read more
The most valuable form of recognition – Communication
Over the weekend I spent quality time with friends, one I hadn’t seen in years. When it comes to reconnecting with people, my first thought is, “gee, what will they think of me now?” And so as we were getting re-aquainted, it was so fun to watch the looks of surprise and discover the number .. read more

In a Slump?
Here it is the day after a long weekend, and if you’re like me, you forgot something big time. You dragged your tired butt out of bed (not because you didn’t sleep – you did), after hitting the snooze 3 times. You grumbled about the early hour, the desire for more sleep and then you .. read more
