August is my month for lots of “down time.” And,

most creative thinking starts bubbling up.
Today I was thinking about how any marketing

It breaks my [...]

Research shows that multitasking reduces productivity by as much as 40%, reduces competency AND it’s stressful too. So how to quit the habit? If you are alerted with [...]

I went to a Catholic funeral last Friday for a woman I’d never met. Why’d I go? Her son, who I chat with at my local watering hole, invited me. It was an honor and privilege to attend. Here’s a bit of what the local newspaper said: “June Ramos, died at the age of 84 [...]

I’ll tell you about a lie I often tell myself. Now why would I lie to myself? Well, despite my good intentions, my inner critic often feeds me lies and sometimes I almost buy into them…for just a few minutes…then I tell myself the truth.
Here’s the lie.
