We are getting ready to move. We’re very excited to close the door on too many rooms for two people, too big a driveway to remove snow from, too big a yard to cut. We’re looking forward to getting just what we need to enjoy the next phase of our lives. Preparing for the move has included some [...]

May 22, 2012Thank you Thursday
May 17, 2012Today, I am thankful for inspiration that comes from the most unexpected people or places. Monday evening, a front line customer service representative from one of my teams sent me a lovely email, sharing a story about a friend of his. The crux of the story was that while training for a local 5k, the runner [...]
Thank you Thursday
May 3, 2012This has been one of the crazy-busiest weeks I’ve had in a long time. Trying to get caught up after a week out of town is generally not easy under any circumstances. Trying to get caught up while also balancing (juggling?) several other projects and initiatives is turning out to be impossible. And then there’s finally having [...]

May 1, 2012I am attending the Chick-Fil-A Leadercast this Friday. It will be my third event and I’m just as excited as the first two – perhaps even more so, since I have an idea of what’s coming! (John Maxwell, Urban Meyer, Soledad o’Brien, Marcus Buckingham, to name a few of the speakers). Over the weekend, I [...]

April 10, 2012The Art of Possibility by Rosamund and Benjamin Zander is one of my favorite books from the leadership core at Otterbein University. Benjamin Zander is the conductor of the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra. He is also an inspirational storyteller, speaking and writing about possibility thinking, living and leading. The clip below is just under two minutes, but provokes a meaningful activity [...]

March 20, 2012Over the last year or so, my love of books has led me to connect with some publishers and publicists to do book reviews. I am currently reading a new BookSneeze offering from Thomas Nelson titled Simple Secrets to a Happy Life, by Luci Swindoll. The review will publish a week from Monday (love it, so [...]
Newslink: Leadership
March 9, 2012Leading Beyond Your Comfort Zone “Any challenge that invokes your fears, conflicts or issues is, by definition, outside your comfort zone.” That sentence starts the last paragraph of this week’s newslink, and that sentence is what grabbed my attention. My comfort zone has recently been shaken up – and that’s not necessarily a bad thing. If you’re in a [...]
Thank you Thursday
February 2, 2012My son and his wife adopted a dog last weekend. They are very excited about it! Cute little three month old black puppy, retriever mix. We face-timed Sunday night for a little bit and the dog didn’t bark at all. So far, it seems the dog is very good with the baby, just likes to [...]

January 10, 2012Have you tried Pinterest yet? Essentially, it’s an electronic bulletin board on which you can “pin” things you find online that “interest” you. You could set up a board to collect ideas for your wedding, how to decorate your new house, vacation destinations or fashion ideas. You can also peruse boards that other people have created and re-pin their [...]

December 27, 2011One of the challenges after we moved away from our extended family in New Jersey was figuring out what to do on holidays in the absence of the large family gatherings we were used to. Over the years, we adopted the practice of seeing a new movie on Christmas afternoon. This year hubby and I went to see “We Bought [...]
