As we approach 2013 I’m sure there are many who are coming up with their list of New Year Resolutions – I’m even more sure these resolutions will be forgotten as quickly as the confetti is swept up in Manhattan. Resolutions don’t work, like “fox hole” prayers they are done in a state of panic.… Continue reading Resolving Resolutions…

Mileage Metaphor
Typically my worst mile in running is my first and depending on the length of the run the last. Which pretty much sums up everything I take on! Getting started with a project or anything new requires a great deal of discipline. The thought of daunting tasks are sometimes too much to bear so we/I… Continue reading Mileage Metaphor
Momentum Is Contagious…
I had a recent conversation with one of my staff members regarding momentum. I was explaining how each staff member has taken our training discipline and used it in other aspects of our lives. Which got me to thinking, this momentum wasn’t just confined to my staff and me. Our momentum has been sort of… Continue reading Momentum Is Contagious…
Inch By Inch…
I’m a big picture kinda gal. I like to review the whole and work backwards toward the end. This is a a great way to goal set but it often gets me to a state of anxiety. For example; my tiny little condo apartment needs an overhaul. I can see what needs to be done… Continue reading Inch By Inch…
Wanting Nothing…
Today I bought an iphone. Which means there is nothing left on my “thing list!” I don’t think I’ve ever experienced this before. I’ve always set goals and among my goals were things – Now there’s no-thing! How blessed can one person be? Imagine there is nothing I want… I feel free like there was… Continue reading Wanting Nothing…

With the dawning of the new year also comes the resolutions, goals and promises to make this year better than the last. While all the idea of change is admirable – It will soon be forgotten and as stale, as aunt Martha’s fruit cake. The reason people don’t follow through with so called new year… Continue reading Vision
The Extra Mile…
How many of us are willing to go the extra mile for what we want? I mean really want not going to the Walmart in the next town because the one in your town is out of the 8G I Touch! How many of us are willing to sacrifice sleep, recreation, security (meaning leaving a… Continue reading The Extra Mile…
It’s Not Just Waiting…
“Good Things Come To Those Who Wait,” we’ve all heard that phrase at least once in our lives. While delayed gratification is an important aspect for future success. We need to be actively involved with implementing a well conceived plan. Too many of us are lulled into thinking and wishing for “Good Things”… Believing in… Continue reading It’s Not Just Waiting…
Shouldha, Couldha, Wouldha…
Hindsight is 20/20! How many things in our lives fall under should have, could have or would have? We can regret not making or making certain decisions but that won’t change where we are today. A wise man once said we are where we are supposed to be! Second guessing past decisions are a waste… Continue reading Shouldha, Couldha, Wouldha…
Raising The Bar…
Reaching expectations is probably the greatest lesson a teacher can share. To prevent a student from accepting mediocrity as an outcome can be life changing. It is up to us as parents, teachers and mentors to give the next generation the tools it needs to succeed in life. This was what I witnessed today, with… Continue reading Raising The Bar…
