The Joy of Living
My 2021 Promise Proclamation! This day – so beautiful – I Promise to embrace the Joy of Living: A child feeding the ducks with her parents; A couple on rollerblades; Dogs dancing between leashes as families go about; The air cleared to see the sunshine after a few days of cloudiness; Leaves to pick […]
Appreciation
When you write a Blog, you write with the intention of spreading your message to the world, in hope it will land with the right audience and ignite thought, resolve, change, action, and ultimately, a Promise. As we move into 2021, I want to say a special thank you to so many that have […]
Property Line Living
Question: Did it snow recently where you live? Most likely you’ve been hit by either heavy snow, piles of leaves, or other needs to clean up around the yard. In the past week I have received more emails, texts, and messages on Facebook about “Property Line Living” than any reference I’ve written about in […]
The Blessing of Work
2 weeks ago I sat with my family and told them this would be a different kind of December. Daddy is usually gone most of this month, running around entertaining at holiday parties and missing every kids concert, ball game, family party and decorating the Christmas tree. This year would be different, I told […]
The Gift
April 6, 2020 It had been over a month since I’d been on a stage, as I sat in my office staring at a blank white board that had been filled with events scheduled for an epic 2020 just weeks prior, now canceled or postponed. To me, all was lost. No prospects, no opportunities, no […]
The Year 2020
“Worst Year Ever!” “Can’t wait until this one’s over!” “The Dumpster Fire that is 2020.” Plenty of lines and ways to describe a most indescribable year. We’ve heard them all, and said most of them, in an effort to put into words what has been experienced. I believe it is justified, so don’t […]
Watching Yourself
As I pulled into the gas station in a remote part of southeastern Utah, I was thankful to finally find cell reception. Tethering my phone’s hotspot to my laptop, I hurriedly logged onto the webinar where I watched my pre-recorded presentation for a client in Texas, engaging in realtime on the CHAT feature with […]
Black Out Curtains
A few weeks ago, about 2 minutes before a very important ZOOM meeting began where I was the Keynote Speaker for over 1,000 attendees, something went completely out of my control. No, it wasn’t my dog barking…I had already placed her out back in our yard so she can ruff ruff ruff her head off […]
Your Calling: How Do You Know If You’re Living It?
Imagine this scenario: You are considered THE BEST in the world at your chosen profession – according to critics, peers, well known in the public – and suddenly you MUST change your career. Does this thought excite you, or terrify you? If it is YOUR choice, then it’s a great thing! If it’s […]
Celebrate The Wins
As the Zoom meeting closed, I smiled into the camera until all had for sure ended, and click – it was over. I had been staring into the ring light and camera lens for 6 hours straight, as Emcee for a multi-day virtual conference, and this was the 3rd and final day. Holding myself […]
