I’m sure the news of Dick Clark’s passing yesterday brought back many memories for a lot of people. There are many younger people who only know Dick Clark as the host of New Year’s Rockin’ Eve, or maybe they’ve seen Dick Clark Productions named in the credits of game shows or award shows. But, before Times Square, before the [...]

Thank you Thursday
April 19, 2012Thank you Thursday
March 1, 2012Nostalgia. People just need to get over it. Move on. Those words were spoken in a meeting today, as someone was reacting to a recent conversation he had with some folks. It got me thinking about whether or not nostalgia is a good thing or a bad thing. Then, I heard the news. Davy Jones died. [...]
Thank you Thursday
February 16, 2012Every day, I DVR The Ellen Show. In the evening, I catch up as time allows. Last night, I watched Monday’s show with guest Jennifer Lopez. Jennifer was wearing a black skirt with the word L-O-V-E across the front. Ellen commented that it is good for the universe to wear clothes with positive words like that. She asked [...]
Sunday Service – Gift of music
February 12, 2012Do you have an old, gently used musical instrument, perhaps tucked away in the attic or a closet? Do you recall learning how to play the flute or violin or piano as a child? Sure, those lessons could be tedious, but remember that first recital, that first concert, that first round of applause? Bravo! The opportunity to learn [...]
Newslink: Leadership
June 3, 2011The Angel and The Monster Well, I for one would never have thought to put Lady Gaga and Mother Teresa side by side in an article about leadership. Fortunately, someone else did. Click HERE to read the Shumpeter post, published yesterday in The Economist. Newslink: Leadership features articles about the development and practice of leadership skills in [...]
Sunday Service – Enzian Theater
January 23, 2011When I was in Salt Lake City last week, the Sundance Film Festival was beginning in nearby Park City, Utah. The festival is hosted annually by the Sundance Institute, founded in 1981 by Robert Redford to “create an environment designed to foster independence, discovery, and new voices in American film.” Today, the institute’s mission continues through support of independent [...]
Tuesday Tidbit
January 18, 2011Did you know that today is Winnie-the-Pooh Day? Sounds like a perfect day to share Winnie-the-Pooh wisdom! “A little Consideration, a little Thought for Others, makes all the difference.” “You can’t always sit in your corner of the forest and wait for people to come to you… you have to go to them sometimes.” “When late [...]
Have I been brave…enough?
July 13, 2010Sometimes I wonder about my life. I lead a small life – well, valuable, but small – and sometimes I wonder, do I do it because I like it, or because I haven’t been brave? So much of what I see reminds me of something I read in a book, when shouldn’t it be the [...]
LeBron, a year later
July 11, 2010A little over a year ago, I wrote this post about LeBron James and the extraordinary humility he demonstrated in his MVP acceptance speech. My, my, how things have changed. I don’t think anyone would debate that agreeing to participate in a one hour special to announce his next team was not a good move by LeBron [...]
