Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays 2020!

Happy Thanksgiving 2019!

Happy Thanksgiving 2015!

Counting My Birthday Blessings – 2012!

Another year has come full circle and I find myself celebrating my 46th birthday. Wow! Sometimes the passing of time is hard to believe.

Daily Leadership Thought #125 – Why You Should Be Grateful

We get to decide what we focus on in life. The glass can be “half empty” or “half-full.” It all comes down to your perspective. Sadly, many of us end up obsessing over what we don’t have or how we are falling short rather than counting our multiple blessings. And, without question, there is always something to be grateful for.
