We had a pretty nasty storm here in Northern Virginia last evening: hail, high wind, blinding rain, thunder, and plenty of lightning. While my daughters are not big fans of noisy storms, I love them. I’m one of those dopey people who gets close to the window to watch nature’s light show. This morning, I [...]

Lately, I’ve been in high interview mode. Anyone who has been through an interview knows about the amount of time it takes to properly research and prepare for the meeting. In my case, I had a "performance interview" on Monday, which automatically increases the prep time exponentially. For this performance interview for a corporate trainer [...]

This week, I’ve been thinking about creating from a mind-set of abundance rather than from scarcity. There’s real power in this, but not always the easiest thing to do. One of my very favorite books is A Simpler Way by Margaret Wheatley and Myron Kellner-Rogers and they write: Life creates more possibilities as it engages [...]

It’s a little off of what I would normally post here, but I keep coming back to this story and find myself amazed by what happened. It’s the recent story about the 17 year old girl who drove over her car into a ravine in Washington state. Two things are absolutely miraculous: one, that she [...]
