For those who know me well, you know I absolutely love old music, particularly old gospel and Motown. In fact I like most music so long as the lyrics tell a story. So ballads, despite the genre, are my favorite. I find amazing lessons in the most unassuming spaces, and the music industry provides someContinue reading “A Fool in Love”

STUCK
“I’m STUCK daddy, I’m STUCK!” My little girl, Katharine, is just over 2 years old, and she exercises her very budding vocabulary extensively (wonder where she gets that from?) When we are playing and rolling around on the floor I’ll sometime hold on to her, preventing her from standing up or moving. Her understanding ofContinue reading “STUCK”
Whether We Want it or Not
A friend sent me a text recently that changed my topic for this week. He said (and forgive me if this quote belongs to someone else, which I imagine it does) “that life is a constant state of radiation and absorption; to exist is to radiate; to exist is to be the recipient of radiation.Continue reading “Whether We Want it or Not”
Steve Jobs…legacy
Death of any kind reminds us of our own mortality. The death of a brilliant and very wealthy person reminds us that nothing can shield us from death’s grip.

Literally, I have some new friends from Cairo, Egypt, Illinois, the Virgin Islands, Pennsylvania, Texas, Qatar, and our neighbors up north in Canada. I have been a speaker for the Association ofContinue reading “Time Management vs. Managing Multiple Priorities”
Turbulence
I am writing this post from 30,000 feet in the air (ain’t technology grand!). In 2009 I had one of the most horrific flying experiences in my life. I can say without hyperbole that I thought I was going to die. Keep in mind that I have been flying since I was a little boyContinue reading “Turbulence”
Stressed Much?
Carol J. Scott, M.D.: Back to School Stressors — Invisible Indicators in the Lives of College Students. Hey folks, take care of yourself, and take care of each other.

Dark Thoughts
“Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that.” ~Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Where there is light, darkness flees; so if last week I talked about good thoughts, this week its about the evil siblings of those thoughts. Over the last week I had a few dangerously dark thoughts as it relatesContinue reading “Dark Thoughts”
