Work after the kids leave home
Work after the kids leave home The way we spend our time has a great deal to do with the people in our lives. That can be with a significant other, children, adult parents, friends, co-workers, and even our pets. Yes, those adorable goldfish swimming around have a true purpose in our lives. You get up in the morning and before you have even combed your hair, you are feeding the fish, checking their bubbler, and changing the light settings. They create your first distraction of the day – you are their grocery cart. For those who have raised children (that’s a step up from goldfish), you understand distraction in…
Power isn’t a position -it’s gained by knowledge
That old saying “people who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw rocks ” – it still resonates today. From whatever authority you were given a position for, that same authority has the power to take it away just as quickly. There are those individuals who for whatever reason, seem to take their position too far. They are high above the clouds – lofty and untouchable. Then it happens – the Big Bang! Bang!

Getting back in the game after an Injury If you have ever suffered from a physical injury that has put you down for any length of time, you will understand what it means to “get back in the game”.

But I Like My Rose Colored Glasses
But I Like My Rose Colored Glasses Not that anyone would notice, but I kind of like my rose colored glasses. Ten years ago maybe not, but today – you bet. I look at the world around me and I find myself at times wanting to shut it out. Being a normally happy-go-lucky person, saying I want to shut the world out is a big statement for me. I think age changes how we spend our free time, and who we choose to spend it with. While a few of my friends could still be accused of running around with a lampshade on their head, a larger number of them have…
Living The Dream! Hand Me The Remote Please
Living The Dream! Hand Me The Remote Please It’s okay to live your life to make bank, but after so many years of the same old grind, a nagging intuition inside your gut will rear its ugly head and tell you “there has to be something more”. I see a lot of people leaving lucrative positions in order to personally Live The Dream. People are opting out of existing within the confines of corporate American. They are moving away from the fast paced life style of city dwelling, and migrating to the rural areas of the country. I see them moving to my area all the time. To say they are taking a hit…
