I recently met someone new and she completely downplayed something extraordinary about her job skills. When I mentioned it, she agreed, she should have showcased this experience with pride and confidence. But we all do this, don’t we? We don’t want to seem braggy or overly confident, so we say little or add a joke… Read More

I love the feeling that sets in when November rolls around. Everyone begins to start planning Thanksgiving celebrations. Some, like me, get most of their holiday shopping completed so they can sit back and enjoy December. Others are just in planning mode, enjoying the moment. Whatever November holds for you, I want to challenge you… Read More

You might have read last week and shook your head. How in the world do I expect anyone to not get emotional when the country is literally on fire? What I am saying is to try and have acceptance of different views and refrain from the banter of negative talk about either party. Don’t get… Read More

It is a muscle that takes practice to perfect, especially if you enjoy the exchange of conversation. I have seen the… Read More

“I am not giving away my shot” This line is said many times throughout the play. I am not lying when I say I have started to use it as a mantra each morning when I start work. I am so grateful and blessed to work for a great company that is flourishing during this… Read More

Since the release to Disney Plus, my children have been watching Hamilton every day. For those who don’t have a subscription to Disney Plus, Hamilton was released on July 3, 2020.  So if you are counting, that is basically 1 whole month of watching the same 3-hour movie on replay. I personally enjoyed the first… Read More

People have become more patient while in line at the store, waiting at the restaurant for their… Read More
