Yesterday [read here] we looked at our “ands” and “thens”.

Let’s talk about your “ands” and “thens”
Have you ever really thought about the definition of the word “and”? Actually the word “and” doesn’t mean anything. It is more of a function than a word.

A picture is worth a thousand words…
They say a picture is worth a thousand words… …so here’s a thousand word picture (cool glasses too). Continue reading
That Ship’s Left the Harbor
Everything that has ever been done was done by the person who could and would do it at the time. Get over it. If they beat you to the punch… If they arrived at the party before you did… If they got the credit… If they got the rewards… Done’s done, that ship’s left the … Continue reading

Hanging out with the wrong friends is like putting a beautiful ring in a bucket of rusty nails. It doesn’t nothing to change the nails but it diminished the beauty of the ring. Take an honest look … Continue reading
People who can’t decide
Have you ever been at a restaurant with someone who can’t make up their mind on what to order from the menu? It can be nerve wracking. It’s like watching a pot of water, waiting for it to boil. Time stands still; your time that is. Time for the rest of the people in the … Continue reading
Time to update the dictionary
I heard a brand-new expression a few days ago: “Zoom fatigue.” If you have no idea what that means, good for you! But for the rest of you who are logging on to a “Zoom meeting” (another new expression) every day or two (or every hour or two!), you know exactly what my friend was … Continue reading
