They Deserve More Than Pomp and Ceremony: Let’s TRULY Support Our Veterans Year-Round
Happy Veteran’s Day to all who have served. Your sacrifice does not go unnoticed. You protected us from others and from ourselves. You don’t know us but you swore to fight for our freedom and protection of our human and constitutional rights. I thank you. I come from a military family, both my maternal and…

Thought of the Day: Stop Looking For The Short Cut And Just Put in The Work!
No one faults the person who tried yet failed. But we roll our eyes in disgust at the lazy person who is shocked and dismayed that their lack of effort didn’t result in a win. Get your butt up and put in the work!

Thought of the Day: Actively Chasing and Achieving Dreams
I just saw a quote that I decided to flip a bit into my own words for greater impact: “Doing what you love is freedom. Loving what you do is happiness.” We all have dreams. But how many of us are truly working towards making those dreams come true? What are we doing every single…

Words From a Military Veteran About The Current Political and Racial Climate in America
This could not be said any plainer than what this military veteran, husband, father, friend and neighbor said yesterday: Sean’s Thought: (for the record its long and many won’t like it) It is amazing how easily people subscribe to slave mentality. How we as a country open the closets and dust off the old US…

When Unethical Acts Are Excused With Statements of Legality and “Doing One’s Job”
Earlier today I posted a photo on social media of an article I read that tore at my heart. It’s a small highlight of the devastating reality caused by this new administration’s quest at mass deportation as the best stab at immigration reform. This article tells the story of a family living in Texas who…

Thought of the Day: Gordana Biernat Quote
I saw this quote from Gordana Biernat a few days ago on Twitter and it resonated with me… Many people are held back from greatness because they believe that someone else is responsible for their setbacks or think that someone is the key to getting them where they need to be. The reality is, we…

Thought of the Day: Think and Act Like a Spider 🕷
We can learn a lot from spiders (even though they gross me out BIG time). Here are three photos taken over two days. This last one was from last night and although it freaked me out it also amazed me. For almost one week now I’ve seen this spider working hard. Every night this HUGE…

Thought of the Day: No Excuses!
“I attribute my success to this: I never gave or took any excuse.” ~ Florence Nightingale We do absolutely nothing out of fear. We self-sabotage out of fear—fear of the past and fear of the unknown. We make excuses for not trying, not pushing harder, not loving more and deeper, not getting over the past.…

Dream Chasers, Dream Saboteurs: The Last Three Years of My Life Unveiled as Your Lesson
I can’t believe that it’s already mid-July. It seems like last week was the first week of January. Maybe it’s our busyness or the chaos of life intertwined with the never-sleeping age of technology that keeps us buzzed, connected, and feeling like time is passing us by. Some days feel like they zoom by while…

Wedding vs Marriage…There IS a Difference
I performed an Internet search for topics related to marriage and specifically the term “marriage” and the vast majority of the pictures were of weddings and all of the things we associate with weddings, like engagement and wedding rings, cake and cake toppers, wedding gowns, bouquets, bridal parties, etc. I decided to do a little…

Thought of The Day: First Impressions Matter So Get it Together
Sure we all may walk around with an attitude, belief or mantra of “like me as I am” or “I don’t care what people think and say about me. I’m going to be me“, or “you don’t have to like me and how I look, because I like me“. Some of us make the decision…

Thought of The Day: Pick Four Things to Do and Save The Rest For Later
We’re overstimulated in too many ways, and I’m not talking about the “good” stimulation either. No I’m talking about techno-stress, e-clutter, and not having enough time in our day because our days are being burned up by too many emails, phone calls, social media posts, and meetings. We’re overwhelmed, overworked, underpaid, overtaxed, overspent, and many…

Focus on Your Strengths and Delegate or Simply Ignore Your Weaknesses
We’ve been programmed since our K-12 days to obsess over our weaknesses, or like we used to say when I was a kid, “what you suck at“, because for some odd reason researchers and academics are obsessed at finding the smartest students and separating them from the “dumbest” students, and constantly reminding the “dumb” students…

Thought of The Day: Practice Leads to Success
“Success is nothing more than a few simple disciplines, practiced every day” ~Jim Rohn We all have good and bad habits. I’ve shared with you about my procrastination issue that I’m working to minimize. But I also have some good habits that have been beneficial in my career as an entrepreneur and college professor. I…
