Good Time!

Got to spend some time yesterday with a great friend and mentor of mine. Just so happened it was on a golf course It is an AWESOME place to brainstorm. No distractions (OK maybe my bad golf game, but other than that...) and able to share a few beverages and enjoy the scenery. When was the last time you took some time to just unplug and think. It can be a great use of time if done properly.

Image

It is amazing to me that most people don''t understand how important image can be. Whether it is correct or not can be irrelevant. You can say never judge a book by it's cover - but we seem to all do it. And images change - whether that means you are maturing (or becoming more immature), your life change (had a child, married or divorced), or you get a new job. My recommendation is to check what your image says about you on a consistent basis (I try every 3 months) and make sure it is really you. Also don't just trust yourself, but ask others that you trust, those that will throw the bull flag. Give it a try, but be prepared...

Single Parent

So Christina has been traveling this week (getting back at me for all of my travel time) and it has been a very interesting week.  It has been fun but hectic.  Picking the kids up and getting them to swim lessons by 5:30 creates some issues, but the biggest issues come after that.  Getting them home, showered off and feed before we have an emotional break down is nearly impossible!  I do respect single parents - I am not cut out to be one...

Summer is Here

Well kind of. I told my 5 year old daughter, Taryn, that summer was here. She said, well not really. The calendar says it is still Spring. When did they get so smart so fast?

Well vacation is almost over. Had a great time but also miss working - it is pretty cool to like what you do so much that you miss it. I had a great time at the zoo, bowling, at the playground with my kids but I am ready to get back at it.
