Well, lots of things have changed in our world. Boy, that is an understatement. No travel, no speaking in person, and no Joy in Mudville. We are living in the Age of Don’t. Don’t forget your mask, don’t forget to wash your hands, don’t get too close, stay 6 feet away, and on and on […]
What kind of wood are you using? 2020 is here, and it is my and Michelle’s sincere desire for it to be the best of your life! Are you looking ahead to see which moves you will make on the checker board of life that will propel you into your future success? Were you aware […]
Time for a little self assessment! Are you happy right now? I’ve asked this question a thousand times, so I know the answer: I guess so! I guess so? Definition of guess: to estimate or suppose (something) without sufficient information to be sure of being correct. Wow! If you entered a room that didn’t have […]
Being in education and training for well over 40 years, I have heard it said in many different ways that we use, on average, 10% of our brains. This is simply not true! We use varying percentages in relation to specific activities. Let me give you an example. You get up in the morning and […]

It makes perfect sense that what is familiar to us, something we’ve grown accustomed to, sticks out like a sore thumb; or, more appropriately, a stinky smell to others. During the holidays several years ago, my child bride […]
I’m a glass half-full guy! I figured it this way—you can’t fix something until it’s broken. If it doesn’t break, well, we can evaluate it and improve the process. My starter wife, Debra (my first and only wife), has a beautiful weeping cherry tree in the center island at our home. I call it Debra’s […]
Today, I’m flying from San Francisco, California to Bentonville, Arkansas. These two cities have very little in common and, one might add, are in different universes. Ironically, it is a nonstop flight! As a southern humorist and presenter, I can automatically dial my southernness up or down. Let me explain… In San Francisco in front […]
