People are worse off than you… so what?

Things have been mounting up for me lately. (can you relate?) I’ve been faced with many of the big things in life… all at once; the death of my beloved father in law, illness in the family, friends in financial distress, other friends with life and love issues and, on top of that, many business [...]

5000 yr old post it notes ???

There is a prayer found in the Old Testament called the Veyahavta (sp?). It states that you should ‘love the Lord with all of your heart, might and soul, teach this to your children, think of this when you lay down to sleep and when you wake up’… and that you should keep this idea [...]

Survival of the Fittest….NOT!!!

Whoever taught us that it was ‘survival of the fittest’ probably lied to us about something else too. Maybe that was true some time ago but I doubt it. Dinosaurs were fit..big teeth, etc… but they haven’t been spotted in a while. Today, we have more and more proof that the statement, when modified to [...]

Obscure Ted Kennedy Quote

With the passing of Sen. Kennedy, I am reminded of a quote that he said many years back. It was this: “I don’t know why that guy is screwing me over, I was not even nice to him”. What? Why would someone screw us over if we’ve helped them? Pretty funny line. I love the [...]

Whatever you do, dont Fuggedaboudit!

Yadda yadda… at the end of the day…..Fuggedaboudit…. we hear this every day. Just words, words which make the point though. However, I want to remind us all to resist the temptation to Fuggadaboudit when confronted with challenges, issues and concerns. Denial and avoidance is only putting off the discomfort of facing it and these [...]

ADVICE FOR THOSE LAYED OFF

SUNDAY NEW YORK TIMES ARTICLE INCOMPLETE In last week’s Sunday edition of the New York Times, in a section called THE SEARCH, there was a very interesting article on what to do after a job layoff.

My Four Lifelong Lessons from Woodstock 1969

It was 40 years ago- almost to the day- that I was wandering around at the Woodstock Festival. Separated from my travelling companion, and just had my 17th birthday few weeks beforehand, I was lost, muddy and very wet. So I scanned for a place to nestle in. There really wasn’t much available so I [...]

Are you guilty of BrandSlaughter?

He sat in the witness chair, fidgeting nervously. While he felt that he didnt do anything wrong, it’s still a bit unnnerveing to be in that seat. The charges- BrandSlaughter in the second degree. What? He’s the President of the company. He wasn’t even there on the day of the accusation. And what’s BrandSlaughter? Here’s [...]

From ChangeVictim to ChangeMaster

Its no longer Survival of the Fittest, It’s now Survival of the Most Adaptable. Change, adapt and flex…. or die. Face it. Change is inevitable. (except in vending machines!) We live in ‘interesting times’ – a phrase that, in ancient times, was used as both a blessing and a curse. Interesting indeed. Change at breakneck [...]
