Creation sure looks a lot like destruction.
I’m not sure if it is because I am more focused on creating this year or because this time of year I just want to hibernate. But I have been restless and feeling the urge to nest.
Nesting isn’t something which I have felt this strongly since I had my last child. Seventeen years ago! But I have a strong sense of needing to organize, clean and redo spaces in my home. Continue reading “Monday Morning Chaos”
I learned about choosing three words to guide my year a few years ago from Chris Brogan. Chris has an annual process where he chooses three words to anchor his year. These three words are meant to drive your year forward. They are the beacon on which you decide yes I will do something or no I will not do it this year.

A big thank you to my Chamber family for making the last six years such a great experience. I have learned so much from working with each of you. You will be missed, but never forgotten. Continue reading “Chapter Closed”
I seem to have lost my voice. Not my real voice, my family can attest to the fact I can indeed speak, but I just haven’t had anything to say.
I am not certain what happened. I think it happened when I took a solo trip out to California in February! I know! Four whole months have gone by and I just haven’t had anything to say! Continue reading “Voice”
I recently learned a really important lesson about apologizing.
I attended a meeting where a leader brought up an opportunity for the staff to attend a training. Unfortunately it was described in a way which came across as demeaning. The more the leader spoke about the “opportunity,” the worse it became.
