You hear businesses talking about their Purpose, Vision, and Mission all the time – but why? What’s it REALLY mean? And who cares? And – here’s the big one – does it really matter to ME? I’m going to say, YES, it does. So many of us coast through life with the same daily grind. …
DetailsDo you ever feel like the man in this photo? I sure do. I woke up to this song running through my head. As we walk, there so many times when we cannot see where we’re going, or what’s ahead. I’m alive, even though a part of me has died. I know I’m not the only…
DetailsHave you recovered from your New Year’s Eve celebration last night yet? I have, but I’m still in my pj’s, working and relaxing. My headache has finally receded 🙂 This is my kind of day to start the new year, with this crisp, sunny, lovely air! One REMINDER – I will not be at Cadillac…
DetailsWe’ve all been at that dismal place when we are sad and lonely where we don’t feel like we have any friends. Have you visited that spot in Sadville lately? We tend to do that more when we are in the middle of cultural pressure cookers like major holidays. We check our gift list, and…
DetailsYesterday I was privileged to be a part of remembering John Mathe’s life. I met John through Betsy on the dance floor, and he accompanied the dance team in our travels during our two years of performing and competing around the country. He sure did enjoy our week in Nashville with almost all the original…
DetailsI hope you all had a wonderful, refreshing Thanksgiving Day yesterday with your family and friends! I spent the afternoon doing something totally different – attending the play, WHITE CHRISTMAS, with Mom, Aunt Mary, & Uncle Walt at Drury Lane Theater in Oak Brook. Then we went back to Aunt Mary’s house for Thanksgiving dinner…and…
DetailsI am always convicted when I hear Andy Stanley speak. I could listen to him talk all day; he makes perfect sense to me, and when he talks, I say to myself, of course! Why didn’t I think of that? I’m watching his “Breakaway” series and one of his talks addressed what we tell ourselves. …
DetailsI’m a coffee drinker…as in, I enjoy a spot of coffee in the morning (for the caffeine kick) with my flavored cream. I like the Peppermint Mocha flavor the best, and even a big bottle doesn’t last long. I’ve been eating better, and I know I shouldn’t indulge in so much cream, so I bought…
DetailsYesterday I visited Betsy’s John (John Mathe, seated on the scooter in front), who has been diagnosed with inoperable stage 4 colon cancer. I know quite a few of you know him, as he’s been dancing for many years, so I am bringing you news about him. John is now (and will remain) at Meadowbrook…
DetailsI’ve developed a habit of playing Solitaire on my phone every day via the app’s Daily Challenge. As you can see, I’m doing pretty well, with an almost perfect record..ALMOST. I’m having a great deal of trouble winning the Challenge of October 17th. No matter what moves I make, the game won’t win. I continue…
