Creative and Inspirational People
Creative and Inspirational People Creative people have a deep respect for the very essence of everything around them. It is as if they have a thirst for all things new and exciting. Who wouldn’t want to be around a creative and inspirational person? They are uplifting, kind, and filled with a wonder for life. They can light up a room by just walking in with a smile on their face. They are usually highly intelligent in their own right and don’t flaunt it unless challenged in a negative way. They will bring you strawberries in winter, and sprinkle glitter on your papers just to make you smile. They draw you out of your…
Education is a philosophical journey
Education is a philosophical journey, this was mine My latest educational experience? HR of course. Even at my age, education never fully ends. There are Certificates and ContinuingEducation Credits, and Licensure. A few years ago, a friend who I would say is “in the know” suggested I leave off my education on my resume. If you keep getting overlooked because of your employment qualifications and education, leave that information off. Huh? $40,000 in student loans and you want me to do what? Huh? As much as I love my friend, I knew I wouldn’t be able to do that. I don’t know why I should have to do that. We are trying to…

The big difference between Gen Z and Millennials is that they will not remember a time before social media. As more of the digital generation starts to…
Dear Volunteer
Dear Volunteer Lace up! Coming up in October is the Other Half Marathon here in Moab Utah. Not as large as the ½ Marathon held in the spring, but still a busy fun adventure for the like-minded. Thelma and Louise I love those emails that come out and say “Hey Volunteer – you want to help out this year”? That’s enough said, it’s short, sweet and to the point. If you are like me and the 100’s of other local volunteers – you can’t say the magic word “NO”. Here is what is really behind that one line question: “Hey Volunteer – you want to help out this year”? Dear…
How to Overcome that Career Hiccup – One Hiccup at a time
Everyone has one - that career hiccup. The first thing I found out about myself after my career hiccup was that I had the ability to write whatever I wanted to, and not feel minimized by it. I also no longer had to sit through those painful Monday morning meetings that felt like I was in a torture chamber. It was a one-man show in those meetings, and no one was allowed an original idea. All creativity was dismissed until it was needed by someone else: but by that time they had already put someone else's name on the idea. It was stifling to say the least. Sound familiar?…
