Tuesday Tidbit

October 11, 2011

It feels like the last few weeks’ Tuesday Tidbit messages have been quite the serious kind.  I thought I would go for a little silliness this week.  What I found though, is that even silliness can have a serious meaning.  Here are some great Dr. Seuss quotes to consider: You have brains in your head.

It’s a good feeling when I’m asked to do something because I do it well. Through my past actions, I’ve proven that I can take on whatever the task is and be counted on to get it done and do it well. I generally work independently, I can rally the troops, I can transform a [...]

Happy Customer Service Week! Did you think we made this stuff up?  No, no!  Every year since a  1992 proclamation by then President George Bush, commitment to excellence in customer service has been celebrated in the U.S. In reviewing the text of the original proclamation, several sections jumped out as applicable to what we do day in [...]

Sore throat. Stuffy nose. Coughing. Sneezing. Nausea. Chills.  Sounds like a commercial for a popular cold and flu medicine, doesn’t it?  Instead, it’s a list of symptoms I took to the doctor Tuesday morning. Good news; the strep test was negative, no fluid in the lungs, oxygen levels were good.  Go home, take your medicine, drink plenty of fluids, [...]

I don’t work for Hallmark, but…

Do you enjoy getting greeting cards in the mail?  I do. I like pulling the mail out of the mailbox and seeing that familiar greeting card shaped envelope poking out from the bills and junk mail.  I save all the cards from my kids and my husband.  I have a few that I saved from my parents, especially [...]

So, the first surgery is in the books.  One basal cell carcinoma removed, one to go.  The first tumor – and I shuddered when the doctor first used that term – was 1 cm in diameter.  The incision was 2.5 cms, a zig-zaggy cut along the nose and nostril.  I have 2 internal stitches and [...]

Be God-like? Really?

August 3, 2011

Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children.   Ephesians 5:1 Throughout the Bible, there is instruction and direction for people to become God-like.  It can be pretty overwhelming to strive for what is seen as pure, sinless, perfect.  Me? Be like God? Really? This past week, my husband and I visited a newly rebuilt local church.  [...]

I’m reading Stumbling Into Grace, written by Lisa Harper, published today. It’s a book I’m reviewing for BookSneeze. A section that I read on Sunday made me think of our leadership team. I am guessing that most of you have heard of the Bible, and perhaps even the four gospels. Stay with me…this is not [...]

My definition of leadership starts with the heart.  Why?  Because the heart is the core of people, and leadership is about people.  Caring about them, influencing them, inspiring them, serving them.  Even discipline starts with the heart.  When done well, discipline and counsel is because one person cares about the other person and his success. Today, I am thankful [...]
