Watch the news – listen to the weather reports. But look outside, too. What you see is what you get.
I know I'm getting older, but I'm certainly not a wimp! In fact, I take great pride in being more self-sufficient than most. But I've reached my limit and am waging war with manufacturers who seem to think that their customers have nothi…
Sharing, today an interesting clip I saved years ago. I'm not saying it's right or wrong. But, it might provide food for thought: Excellence is willing to be wrong. Perfection is being wrong. Excellence is risk. Perfection is fear. Excellence is powerful. Perfection is anger and frustration. Excellence is spontaneous. Perfection is control. Excellence is accepting. Perfection is judgment.

I just talked with an old friend who is going through some tough times. I’d always admired her for her vitality and drive. Today she’s 60-something and in a panic mode. Work dried up for her some time ago. She’s living from hand to mouth. She’s looking at probably losing the house she and her deceased husband had worked so hard for. It’s not for lack of trying.

Times are tough all over…according to some. Driving the four blocks from my home to a local restaurant to meet a friend, I noted three store fronts had sprouted new "Out of Business" signs. They seemed so out of place surrounded by what appeared to be thriving businesses and heavy foot and vehicular traffic. Along the way I passed at least a dozen busy restaurants but when I arrived at my destination, sadly, I saw this restaurant had precious few customers – even at the height of lunch hour. The waitresses were sitting at table reading the newspaper and discussing [Click here to see the rest of the story]

Rarely do I feel compelled to endorse other people or companies. And I've become very selective about who I am willing to network with. These are topics for another day. But today, I made a discovery that compels me to stand up and do one of those victory dances you see on TV football or reach real high with my right hand, grab a fist-full of air and pull down with all my might shouting "Yeeeessssss!!!" Well, you get the idea. I'm excited. I finally found a project that is genius in its simplicity. I had a pair of cats; [Click here to see the rest of the story]
