The Fullness of Time

“I would rather try to carry 10 plastic grocery bags in each hand than take 2 trips to bring my groceries in.” There is a phrase that is prevalent in older literature that I particularly enjoy. It is “In the fullness of time”. I don’t know specifically what the supposed meaning is, but I [...]

Doing things different ways differently!

How the heck are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet? My daughter, Michelle, is a bit of a stickler about how her sheets are folded. It extends to towels as well. Whenever a load of sheets and towels comes out of the laundry, she must be the one to fold them. AND, [...]

Can you share?

“I think everyone has a movie that they love so much, it actually becomes stressful to watch it with other people. I’ll end up wasting 90 minutes shiftily glancing around to confirm that everyone’s laughing at the right parts, then making sure I laugh just a little bit harder (and a millisecond earlier) to prove [...]

Readiness and the things you know for sure…

“Sometimes, I’ll watch a movie that I watched when I was younger and suddenly realize I had no idea what the heck was going on when I first saw it.” Several years ago, my first coach suggested I read a book by Tony Schwartz called “What Matters Most”. I remember that I started reading it [...]

How have things changed?

“Do you remember when you were a kid, playing Nintendo and it wouldn’t work? You take the cartridge out, blow in it and that would magically fix the problem. Every kid in America did that, but how did we all know how to fix the problem? There was no Internet or message boards or FAQ’s. [...]

Nap time?

“I totally take back all those times I didn’t want to nap when I was younger.” During stressful times, we forget what we know to be true at other times. Specifically, we need to take care of our bodies. That includes eating right, exercising, and getting enough rest.

Which Direction Are You Going?

Have you ever been walking down the street and realized that you’re going in the complete opposite direction of where you are supposed to be going? But instead of just turning a 180 and walking back in the direction from which you came, you have to first do something like check your watch or [...]

Momentum

I had the opportunity to attend and speak at the Southeastern Warehouse Association meeting this past weekend in New Orleans. I was really honored to be a part of the group…they are great people and one of my favorite people has just become past President–the best position in volunteer work! His name is Buster Lewis, [...]

You're Wrong!

Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you’re wrong. There is always a time when you realize that the arguments that you are having with yourself and the ones you love aren’t working. It may happen in the middle of an argument, or it may happen a couple of days [...]

I-centric Behavior

“More often than not, when someone is telling me a story all I can think about is that I can’t wait for them to finish so that I can tell my own story that’s not only better, but also more directly involves me.” I recently received an e-mail from a client that included a bunch of [...]
