She said she just had to chuckle at their attempt to model world class leadership

She said she just had to chuckle at their attempt to model world class leadership. So I asked her why.

She said because they were so obviously unprepared it was embarrassing, and because she acted oblivious to it all, they both thought she was not aware.

It was a big, once-a-year, close-out-the-year type meeting. One of those meetings that reflects the entire body of a year’s worth of art work.

Ever have that happen?

The Sky's The Limit

You’re an adult.

You can do whatever you want.

Try reading all five of these blogs for 30 days.

Are You Happy?

Are you happy with the way you answered yesterday’s questions?

Lying in bed last night in this Albuquerque hotel room, listening to Mark Schultz on the headphones, my mind went racing.

Almost in a panic.

Mostly instigated from the two You Tube videos I posted two nights ago. Our son was four.

He’s closing in on ten.

Where did the time go?

What am I?

Who am I?

Am I happy?
