I 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 [...]

May 1, 2012Thank you Thursday
April 26, 2012I am fortunate enough to be spending this week working in Salt Lake City, Utah. Except for when my Dad passed away, I haven’t spent this much consecutive time away from my husband since 1989, so that’s been kind of strange. However, aside from missing home, it’s been a fabulous week. The scenery is incredible. [...]

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 [...]
Book Review: Simple Secrets to a Happy Life
April 2, 2012Simple Secrets to a Happy Life written by Luci Swindoll, published by Thomas Nelson in 2012. I’m not sure what drew me to this book when I first saw it. Perhaps the Swindoll name, but not one of the preacher brothers? The emphasis on the words “a happy life”? The relaxed font and background color? Whatever [...]
Thank you Thursday
March 22, 2012In my on-again, off-again almost lifelong efforts to lose a little bit of weight and get in better shape, I started diet #167 on Saturday. (I really haven’t counted; it just feels that way!) I figured the luck of the Irish couldn’t hurt, right? I swear I’ve lost and gained the same 20 pounds a [...]

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 [...]

February 7, 2012On my flight home Sunday night, I read Mark Sanborn’s newest book, Up, Down or Sideways. This book is a little different than his others; it is a tool box, of sorts. In it, you will find tips on “how to succeed when times are good, bad or in between.” It’s a fairly quick read, [...]
Thank you Thursday
January 26, 2012As I write this, it’s Wednesday evening, and I’ve been sitting with my fingers poised over my laptop, talking to my husband and watching a recording of today’s Ellen Show. Until a few moments ago, I was stuck on what to write for this week’s TYT post. It has been a very trying few weeks. I’ve been [...]

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 [...]
Recipe for a happy new year
January 1, 2012N0 alcohol, no pork and sauerkraut, no herring in this new year’s recipe! This comes from appleseeds.org, quoted from an anonymous author. I hope your new year is made of all these things. Take twelve fine, full-grown months; see that these are thoroughly free from old memories of bitterness, rancor and hate, cleanse them completely [...]
