“Simple moments”

They’re the ones you can’t get out of your mind during the drive home after dropping your child off at college.

Great place to begin

Another word for successful may be personal.

Here’s a healthy dose of reality…so hold your nose and take your medicine. Life is not nor has never been fair…and that’s not going to change…so GET OVER IT!

"Smarter Goals" are sustainable.

Smarter Goals Are Sustainable…How & Why

Taking the time to develop smarter goals not only greatly enhances the odds for long term success, but also builds confidence along the way. For instance…a goal to change your life doesn’t necessarily mean you have to do a 180…maybe just a fine tune is all that’s needed. Here are some techniques which have worked for me.

"Dad's Cheeseburgers"...the best in the world!

“Dad’s Cheeseburgers”…the best in the world!

As we sit elbow to elbow around the table I relish the moment it provides as nothing quite brings out the love…the stories…the surprises…the laughs…like Dad’s cheeseburgers cooked out on the grill. They’re the best in the world you know…at least our world.
