Cafe 222
Yesterday I had a wonderful opportunity to meet up for an early breakfast with a friend of mine, Thom Singer. Thom is a fellow speaker I first encountered a few years ago at the annual convention for the National Speakers Association.

Friday Finish 01.06.12
Wait, did that say “Twenty-Twelve?” Yep, we’re here. A new year and a few weeks of writing the date wrong. Blogs are back, and so is Friday Finish. Thank you for allowing me some time to just celebrate with my family in California. Both entries from me this week are pretty short, and as always […]

Process, not Perfection

Self or Social
Yesterday I was sitting in front of my computer, reading some articles and facebook status updates. One of my friends posted: I just went to a Starbucks and all ten tables were taken up by single people with laptops. Wow. What happened to sitting and enjoying your coffee with a friend like we used to […]

She said YES!
On Saturday, I proposed to my girlfriend. She said “Yes!” For me, it’s a story that begins in the summer of 2010 at my youngest sister’s wedding. It was a wonderful celebration that my whole family enjoyed. As I watched how happy my sister was with my new brother-in-law, I got to thinking. At the time […]

It’s another weekend. I know many of you are looking at one more week at school before the winter break. Before you celebrate this weekend (or work on that last paper that is due), I encourage you to check out some blogs from this week. My entries are pretty short and simple this week–just little […]
