Staring across my cluttered desk, I spotted a elderly gentleman headed toward my office. He meandered across the breezeway to my door. Without knocking, the door slid open and his head poked inside. He looked like the kind of guy that has been retired awhile and has plenty of time on his hands. This is the kiss […]
My goal for you, dear readers, is to take a close look at your life and notice one person today that you take for granted. Then tell them how much you appreciate them. What are you waiting for? Now is a good time… We will wait until you get back to finish this story… Surely […]
Ok, I’m not going to bore you with all of the details of that massive list. But what I will do is bless you with this weeks “highs” and “lows” as the relate to my goals.. As I said before, most lose sight of their resolutions or goals by Valentine’s Day… Ha! I beat the […]
Ok gang! Welcome back to the blog and the New Year for me! So much to talk about… Where I’m headed. Where this blog is headed. Needless to say, large doses of ‘Focus’, ‘Consistency’ and ‘Determination’ are in order for this to work. Here’s the rundown by category: Health & Fitness Run a Half Marathon by […]
Ok, so the updates stopped. Mostly because I figured no one was interested in reading them anyway… So why fool with it? Then again, it might have something to do with meeting the goals I had in life at the time. AND… Wait for it… I DIDN”T HAVE MORE GOALS TO ACHIEVE! So, if […]
Who would I love to be? Talk about a wickedly intense question. It’s probably very similar to the question one would ask when praying, “God, why am I here?” The key to this truth lies in your talents. You have been given gifts that directly impact how you behave naturally. Also, you’ll notice that you […]
Looking back on my childhood, the career choice of “Service Manager” was not on my list alphabetically between “Astronaut” and “Zoo Keeper”. Oddly enough, I don’t even think it was on the list my guidance counsellor gave me… Mind you, I’m not knocking my career. It actually fits me fairly well. But more about that […]
Komen Northwest Louisiana Race for the Cure® September 18, 2010 Dear Friends and Family, I recently accepted the challenge to raise funds to support the Northwest Louisiana Race for the Cure on 09/18/2010 in the fight against breast cancer. One in eight women will be stricken with breast cancer in her lifetime and the more we raise, […]
Some days, it seems all that I hear from people is “I can’t” or “We can’t”. It really gets old hearing others tell me what their self-imposed limits are. Stop telling me what you can’t do! Start telling me what you CAN do! So here is another post on your mindset and how you think. Maybe […]
Well, it’s been a couple of hectic weeks. Always is toward the end of the month. Especially at work. Ethan and Austen are in for the last couple of weeks of summer vacation before they head back to school. Just plenty to do… But here’s the rundown. On the physical front? Cycling has definitely slowed. […]
Well, it’s been a productive week. Quite a bit of study on who I am as a leader. Worked on developing some skills that I have never used before. Learning to market has been challenging, but fun. Spent some time studying myself, how I interact with others and how poorly some of that is working. […]
Ok, this post has one simple mission: To promote an upcoming 5K! As part of my ongoing self-improvement plan, I listed a goal of running my first 5K this summer. Here it is! Sponsored by Anytime Fitness (with whom I have had a long-time relationship with), this 5K’s proceeds go strictly to the Shriner’s Hospital […]
Well, yet another week has gone by. Ethan has gone back home after just a few short weeks. Had quite a bit of fun. A couple of driving lessons were included. The first lesson was more of a gut check for me, I think, than for Ethan. On the second one, he did really well. […]
