A good plan makes good work.
I’m a planner of things to do.
Having a list helps decongest my active mind.

I was born organized. I can’t help it!
At mid-life, I’m forgetful.
Other times it’s...

A former professor of mine, in his status post, said that when you arrive at the crossroad of your life, you shouldn't be afraid.
As yesterday, 6 May, was my birthday, I think I've come upon the crossroad of my life. Maybe the more apt expression would be "at the intersection", since I live in the...

Sometimes, when thinking of my wife and myself, I'd name our tribe the pragmatists. That wasn't always our tribe but somewhere in the last fifteen to twenty years, we migrated to that tribe.

"A man has made at least a start on discovering the meaning of human life when he plants shade trees under which he knows full well he will never sit."

This quote made me think about the story of the church that needed to do some...

Good Afternoon!
We talked about having someone to be your surrogate to relieve stress, we also need to include in that list of jobs as we age, someone to help us drive to our doctor's appointments. Start looking now at home town taxi services. Some have a discount for reoccuring medical...

It continues to amaze me that so many sales people shuffle into most of their sales calls with very little, if any, prior planning. I suppose that is why this is one of the practices of the best.
Most surveys of how field sales people really spend their time conclude that the typical sales...

Ever have something happen where you say to yourself, "Mannnn...guess I didn't time that right!"
