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

Recover the “WHY”
A few days ago I had the pleasure of chatting online with a woman who I know God sent to speak to me that day, Ms. LeVeda McCou. We met years ago within professional settings and instantly we clicked. I’ve always liked her bold, go-get-it attitude and personality. When her path took her elsewhere professionally…

Thought of the Day
Happy Monday! Wow can you believe that it’s already March 6th? It seems like it was just last week when it was New Year’s Day. Every year people create New Year’s Resolutions and usually by day 45 in the New Year, a great number of these resolutions have been tossed aside. Are the goals too…

Thought of the Day: Don’t Get Sucked Into Scrooge’s Cesspool. Exit Stage Left!
I wrote a piece on my Paradigm Life blog entitled “Don’t Try to Impose Your Values, Beliefs, and Ideals Onto Others, and Please Leave Scrooge Alone“.
