A couple of months ago I was having a conversation with a woman here in Nebraska who HATES the snow. By early March I am certainly not a fan myself, but this woman claims it makes her feel sick, and she has to take Ibupropen to stave off soreness from the cold. She is originally...

Thank You for Your Time
I have a friend named Sean who knows Billy Graham. For years my friend was a manager at a hotel that connected to a hospital, the same hospital that Mr. Graham visited regularly to have tests run. At some point during his stay each time, the evangelist would come into Sean’s office, take a seat... Continue Reading →
Get on the Floor
When my kids were little, I felt like I lived on the floor of our living room. Looking back at video footage of Christmas mornings and birthday celebrations seem to confirm my memory because the entire time I seem to be at their level, assisting in present opening and sharing excitement over every little thing....

Get Off the Monkey Bars
For years my life was incredibly busy. I won’t bore you with the details, but I call that period of my life living monkey bar to monkey bar; as your hand is leaving a bar the other one is firmly grasping onto the next, with little thought of where you have been or where you... Continue Reading →
True Confession
Do you know someone who will write out a list of to-do’s for the sole purpose of marking off the items already accomplished? When they share this about themselves, it’s almost like a confession. Now, I am not a list maker, I try just about every trick in the book to keep from needing a... Continue Reading →

For years I was the measuring stick, with the kids siding up next to me to see where the tops of their heads hit against my hip, arm, shoulder then head. These days I can completely disappear in the arms of my boy and I have... Continue Reading →
Time’s Up
On the plane yesterday the flight attendant announced that it was time to power down all electronics while we were about to take off. Of course, we know that this practice will soon be extinct, but yesterday the rule was still in place. Immediately I remembered an important email that had to be sent, couldn’t... Continue Reading →

What Do You Do?
I’m in Investments, you? I actually said this recently as I was meeting someone new. There is pressure to have a title ready when asked what you with your time; a concise declaration of who you and what matters to you without too much information attached. My education isn’t in the area of business, and... Continue Reading →
What Time is It?
For as long as I can remember, I have known what time it is. What I mean is that I can usually guess the current time, often to the minute, no matter what. This hasn’t been a particularly useful skill because I tend to be late for almost everything I do, and it sure doesn’t... Continue Reading →
