I don’t know about you, but the entire world seems like one big dumpster fire burning entirely out of control these days. The news papers and programs, all social media, and most of our in-person conversations are filled with the shock and horror of what’s going on and why. I do not have ADHD, […]
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how we arrive at our opinions. Not from the point of view of who is wrong but HOW on earth our opinions can be so divergent. I don’t have the answers yet, but I’d like to share a few ideas with you. In a world where opinions […]
It’s another true confession time. The penny dropped when I recently interviewed my latest guest about Compassion in the workspace. For years, I have bragged about improving a business’s net income before taxes from 8% to 35% of revenue in three years. YES, that was definitely significant, and no, I didn’t cut people, chop expenses […]
This is the last Sunday of the LOVE month. And I want to turn to something that is too often deemed esoteric, fluff and silly. Love of Self. Love for Self. Self Love. I think it’s a fundamental pillar of our existence. Personal Confession: It took me decades to understand the concept, and I’m not […]

We are in January, and nearly everyone- people and businesses- feels a productivity sag and a cash flow squeeze. I get it. So, this month, I want to share some […]
Happy New Year! 2025 is a few days old now. Are ya feeling different? Starting at about 4:00 a.m. on December 26th, my inbox was flooded with the ‘make this your best year ever’ bunk. I’m betting yours was, too. Maybe it has something to do with the annual repetitive messaging. Or perhaps we’ve reached […]
Thank you for graciously allowing me room in your brain cells this past year. It is truly a gift I don’t take for granted. Today, I wish you a magnificent holiday season and share two poems written many years ago. May your week be magical, mystical and merry. xo Christmas Carol BY SARA TEASDALEThe kings […]
I am taking a hard, sharp turn for this opinion piece. Instead of the usual holiday shopping and end-of-year checklists, I invite you to pause and unwrap the most important and exquisite gift you’ll ever receive. Yourself. Imagine standing at the threshold of a new beginning, with the past year spread out behind you like […]
