  • TIME TO REVIEW

    In our last post I wrote asking about making progress toward your goals for this year. I hope that you are gaining ground and moving ahead so far! The natural thing now is to do a review of your goals to determine if there need to be any substantial changes. This is one of the…

  • MAKING PROGRESS?

    So, how is your New Year going so far? In previous posts we’ve looked at being motivated to get more done and focusing on the more positive aspects of our lives that we want to reinforce. Do you ever stop everything for a bit in order to evaluate your progress? As I wrote some weeks…

  • TAKING THE CHALLENGE

    We’re already weeks into the new year. I commented just recently that it always surprises me when I am booking clients and we’re looking at another month gone by! I have clients booked months ahead in this new year. Whew! Time flies! So, how is your new year so far? In my last post I…

  • NEW YEAR, NEW YOU?

    I’m writing this article on New Year’s Eve, 2024. As is true of most people, I’m giving some thought to New Year’s Resolutions. And, as is true of most people, I’m not making any resolutions. Why not? Well, to keep with the theme…as is true of most people I don’t keep them. Good intentions aren’t…

  • GIFT-GIVING

    I’m sitting here, Christmas Eve 2024, looking at gifts under the tree and thinking about what we’ve given, planned to give or wish we could give to family and friends. It’s too bad that Christmas has turned into such a commercial holiday, but that’s nothing new, is it? I suppose that we have no one…

  • MUTUAL SUPPORT

    There are lots of folks who look at marriage and relationships as a means of having their own needs met. I’m sure that I would have fit into that description in my younger years. I have worked to leave that selfish aspect of my life behind especially as it relates to marriage. We could spend…

  • GOT THE BLUES

    I hope that heading got your attention, but let me assure you that “I ain’t got the blues”, as some would sing it. I like to listen to a wide variety of styles of music, the Blues being one of them. I guess you could say that my musical tastes are rather eclectic. Classic Christian…

  • TIME LEFT EMPTY?

    In my opinion, one of the great heroes of the faith is Dietrich Bonhoeffer. If you’re not familiar with him I would encourage you to pick up one or two of his books and give him a good read, or take in the movie that came out recently which gives a window into his life.…

  • ABOUT YOUR DOG…

    We’ve had several dogs through the years. Boxers. German Shepherds. Blue Healers. And on it goes. I’ve always been a fan of medium to large dogs. In fact, I used to tell my kids that if you had to bend over to pet it, it wasn’t a real dog! We had fun with that and…

  • GETTING OUT OF YOUR ECHO CHAMBER

    As my wife and I were working out this morning we were listening to classic rock, as per usual. A song by Yes came on (“I’ve seen all Good People”) with the line “don’t surround yourself with yourself”. Now I don’t claim to speak for the rock group as to what they meant by this…
