Shaken but not stirred.

Confidence is defined as full trust; belief in the powers, trustworthiness, or reliability of a person or thing.  I want to speak about confidence in self in this space.  It is one of those traits that has a defining impact on our success.  I have found it easier to have confidence in others than in […]

What is up with the Millennials?

It seems everywhere you go today you hear this question. The “Millennials” are defined as Generation Y or those born between the early 1980’s and 2000. It seems the lives of this generation are even more complicated than mine being a late baby boomer.  Our world is changing so quickly, just think back 10 years ago […]

An Aerial View!

Recently on a trip to Toronto I had a bit of a revelation.  My seat was 5A – a window view.  During take off, I sat back and closed my eyes the way I usually do until my ears begin to normalize.  When I opened my eyes, the sun was shining bright in the window and […]

Falling off the wagon!

Have you ever had one of those days that just don’t seem to end?  That happened to me recently.   It was a series of three difficult conversations that occurred in a few short hours.  It just seemed that each began to build on one another.  Short of going home and covering my head, I was going to need to walk […]

Have you ever blocked a sweater? How do we create a memory?

Today I was doing some early morning chores, I had this flash back to a memory.  I had washed this sweater and it needed to be blocked (smooth it out to its original shape) on a towel to dry.  I am not sure if that is something kids learn now but it was something I […]

Life is about Perspective

Recently I watched a series of  amazing sunsets. As I was walking on the beach  I was thinking about the difference of t two evenings. It is really all about perspective! Have you ever noticed how things shift, sometimes after a day, a week, a month or even a year? We may think the person, event […]

How do you react to compliments?

Early morning walks have been our way of being for the last two weeks. In fact we log 10,000 steps before 8:30am. It has been a great way to start the day. While walking along a street in Jaco, Costa Rica early in the morning, an elderly woman waiting for a bus spoke to me. […]
