My post yesterday dealt with taking time to get away from Social Media and the computer/iPad/Phone in general to help clear your head and give you a better perspective in whatever project you are working on. I recently found a USA Today article about artists (those who display their art in galleries and museums) who […]
Clear Your Mind (and the rest will follow)
Dealing with Information Overload We are a society and culture that more and more is being bombarded by Facebook, Twitter, texts, Kindles and iPads. We have so many streams of information that we are finding it hard to move forward with life and business. Newsweek magazine ran an article in their March 7th print edition about […]
Nelson Mandela and Your Next Project
In the midst of building this site – creating content, figuring out shopping carts, beating my head against the wall, totally enjoying myself – I’ve encountered bouts of fear. Will anyone pay attention? Will it be good enough? Do I have the right mix of content? Will I make any money? Am I crazy? I […]
Life is Precious
Three years ago, I wrote about a near tragedy happening in our family. Our neice (Kia’s brother’s daughter) was born two months early. As is the case most of the time, it was really touch and go for a while. The situation was very poignant for Kia and I. Beale (our youngest) had been born […]
Open Space
I read this passage in the bible the other night. It was in Genesis, and Isaac (Abraham’s son, now grown up) was traveling through a certain area, and he kept finding wells only to have those around him claim them as their own. Finally he finds one that no one else claims. I guess it […]
Word of the Year…an update
In the first couple of days of 2011, I posted about a concept that I was incorporating into my life this year – a “word for the year.” I haven’t said much about it since that initial post. I thought I would give a quick update on some thoughts I’ve had just recently on my […]
Can Your Kids Do This (Should Your Kids Do This)?
I’ve seen my kids attempt to climb the ways, door frames, window panes, and most all the furniture in our house. Didn’t even need candy to have them try. Maybe candy would have kept them down…
Customer Service – 3 Ways to Treat Momma Right!
If you haven’t noticed, I tend to refer to Newsweek articles quite a bit. The reason being is that it is one of the few magazines (in paper form) that I take and read (along with Inc and Relevant). Today, I have another intriguing article to share with you. Mother Knows Best Lisa Miller writes […]
Are you Overwhelmed with Information?
I read an article this week about the growing amount of information coming at us via online services (email, FB, Google, text messages, IM, Skype, etc), and how much energy it takes to keep track of it all. Research shows that the average corporate person receives 110 messages a day (don’t you hate it when […]
Jimmy Fallon + Me
I have to admit that I don’t see it. I’ve recently had a number of different people tell me how much I look like Jimmy Fallon. Again, I don’t see it, but in these types of cases usually you are the last to see it. I like Jimmy Fallon a lot. I think he’s really […]
