Going In

This past week I wrote a post about Dr.Phil's new book, "Life Code". I was only half way through the book so I only read the parts that involved giving us the "playbook" of the B.A.I.T.E.R.S. (those out there to harm us) Today I reached the second half of the book where he is giving . . . → Read More: Going In

What Are You Doing?

This morning I was bringing my daughter back to Boston and we were having a discussion about life choices. We were talking about the difference between people who just go to a job everyday that they hate, just to earn money to live and people who have found their passion, turned it into a career, . . . → Read More: What Are You Doing?

A Day Off

Yesterday I took a day off. My daughters would laugh and say, "A day off from what? You don't work." Since they are still in the time of their lives when a typical job takes up five days a week, a day off to them just means you don't go to your place of work. . . . → Read More: A Day Off

Root Notes

Today I found my inbox just TOO full.  Sound familiar? So I went on a little hunt down into what I call the "bowels" of the box.  This is the place that I "save" important stuff for future use, but it seems like "future" comes and goes and these "important" words take up residence . . . → Read More: Root Notes
