My Three Words for 2022
My Three Words for 2022
Several years ago I started choosing an annual trio of words to help me stay on track with my goals, focus my actions, and guide my decision making. I copied the practice from Chris Brogan and you can click on that link in his name to visit Chris’ page to read about how he chooses his words (and recommendations for choosing your own). I’ve typically followed the example Chris set and posted my…

Don't Lose Your Head
Don't Lose Your Head. There are people who drive you absolutely bonkers (I feel your pain), and make you lose your cool at work. They don't "do the work" and expect other people to cover for them, they're constantly running their mouths all day instead of actually doing their work, they play their music through speakers instead of ear buds, they take more than their fair share of any communal food in the break room, and it doesn't matter if it's Monday or Friday, they're always complaining about having to be at work (there's a fix for that -- QUIT!) These are the people who cook fish in the office microwave and follow it up by burning a bag of microwave popcorn (a death penalty offense, amiright??)

Minimally Minimalist (or how to get rid of 400 books as slowly as possible)
I have an addiction… Books.
I can’t help myself. When I was growing up, books were the one thing my family always worked into the budget no matter how tight our finances might be. And not just trips to the library to participate in Summer Reading programs and borrow more books than we could carry, (which I absolutely loved), but we were also allowed to buy as many books as we could read from our…

31 Days of Ideas
31 Days of Ideas
One of the great ideas I’ve run across online is something called #VEDA. Twice each year Amy Schmittauer of SavvySexySocial.com takes ownership of an internet meme called #VEDA — which stands for Video Every Day in August (or April …hence the twice-each-year…).
While Amy didn’t personally create this month-long challenge to motivate individuals to commit to a habit of recording and publishing a…

Gains and Losses
There is no denying that 2016 was a big year for losing some big names to the great beyond. We lost a Thin White Duke and a Prince. A man who floated like butterfly, a man who floated among the stars, and a woman who played soulmate to a super-powered “strange visitor from another planet”. We lost two TV cops from Barney Miller, a couple TV Dads and a few of TV Moms, along with the guy who…

Independence Days
Yesterday everyone got together to grill meat, drink beer, and launch glittery explosives into the sky; all in the name of Independence Day. But the real fireworks come EVERY day when you take advantage of your freedom to think independent thoughts and take independent actions.
It’s be scary to be out there all alone. There is comfort in being part of a large group. The problem comes when you…

10 Personal Writing Tips
10 Personal Writing Tips
One of my networking groups recently asked its members to share their best writing tips based on their personal experience, habits, and daily practice. I really love this idea because it wasn’t “best writing tips” it was “best PERSONAL writing tips” — waaaay more practical and waaay more original. You can’t just write the best advice you Googled online, you needed to share tips that you…
