Have you ever taken a walk? Then in the course of that walk you suddenly tripped. It’s happened to us all right? Well in that moment did you curse your maker and vow to never walk again? Of course not. When out of several hundred steps a single one turns into a stumble it doesn’t [...]

Cubs – Don’t Get Mad, Get Your Goat
I’m obsessed with the Chicago Cubs baseball team. This statement might seem odd since I’ve never seen them play and I don’t follow sports. Technically, it’s not the game that fascinates me, it’s the curse. In the 1934, tavern owner Billy Sianis adopted a baby goat (Murphy) that fell off a truck in front of [...]

Today can be a piece of cake
It’s been said that learning new things keeps the brain young and helps keep life interesting. Well one day last week I mentioned having a taste for German chocolate cake (my favorite), what’s yours? To which Cathy replied, “The box is in the cabinet.” I didn’t realize we already had the ingredients needed to give [...]

Ci-cay-das, Ci-cah-das
Soon the East Coast is going to be overrun with billions of 17-year cicadas. It’s a colossal event of biblical proportions. I know, because the western suburbs of Chicago went through the same thing 5 years ago. It’s one of the most fascinating experiences of my life. Normally, I’m squeamish about being outnumbered by creatures [...]

Chloe, Joey and a boy named Omar
My day began yesterday as a typical Sunday. I watched a morning news show and one piece that stuck with me was a discussion about the value of racial profiling when it came to identifying terror suspects. This just didn’t sit right with me. Alas, I carried on with my day. When I discovered how beautiful [...]

Fractured Cliché #39
The other day my exercise class was full of new people. Someone was standing where Nancy normally stands, so she was forced to move into a new spot in front of me. Shelly, our instructor, was telling stories. (Somehow she’s able to lead the class, breathe and talk all at the same time. It’s amazing!) One [...]

What else do you see?
I’d be surprised if you weren’t aware of the recent tragedy in Boston, the flooding in the midwest as well as other crisis around the world. With the privilege of a 24 hour drama loving media it is easier than ever to accentuate the negative. I live in a rural area of Illinois and watched [...]
To Hell And Back
Saying that scientists have made a discovery always lends a certain amount of credibility, no matter how ridiculous the revelation. It’s been reported that Italian scientists discovered the gate to Hell – literally – in Turkey (the country not the bird). Known as Pluto’s Gate, this is the genuine portal to the underworld. Pluto’s Gate (Source: hurriyetdailynews.com) [...]

Business Instinked
Have you ever faced a situation in which any decision you made could be a bad one? I experienced this recently with a new consulting assignment. I was excited to get the work. It was a new client and my performance could send more work my way. I’d prepared for the first meeting, was confident [...]
“Fear is a Liar
“Fear is a Liar” Fears, we all seem to have them, don’t we? Most of the fears we have aren’t real. They are silly movies we play in our minds over and over again, making them worse and worse. They are usually things that have already happened from our past that we wished we had [...]
Find Your Voice: From Fear to Fulfillment
What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail? Or it no longer mattered what other people thought? Is there a book in you waiting to be born? Or a message you care deeply about and feel heeds to be shared? “Living an authentic life means standing firm in our dreams! It means not [...]
Compromise is not the best option
“Sometimes in relationships you just have to compromise.” You’ve heard that one before right? I had that conversation with a few parents recently and a pattern emerged. They were describing compromise, frustration and at times exhaustion as they recounted outings with their children that were intended to be enjoyable. As we dug deeper we discovered [...]

Fractured Cliché #39
Fractured Cliché: Ignoring the white elephant in the room Correct Cliché: Ignoring the 800 pound gorilla in the room To me there’s little material difference between these clichés. Imagine a white elephant or an 800-pound gorilla. Either would be hard to ignore. Something else that would be hard to ignore is two football fields, adjacent to [...]
How sucking at math can lead to victory
My youngest son Connor was showing off his math ability the other day by telling me that 10 + 5 = 15 and so on. My response to Cathy was, “Yep, that’s what my calculator says too.” The reality is that it wasn’t a joke. It’s no secret in my family that my math skills [...]

Big Dang Theory
Did you know that swearing can reduce pain? I mean when you swear not when someone swears at you. Researchers have learned that swearing, unlike other types of speech, uses brain circuitry that’s linked to emotion. Normal language comes from the outer layers of the brain’s left hemisphere whereas expletives are buried deep inside the right half. [...]
Ruining your career with social media
There’s no question that social media is a powerful communication tool. LinkedIn has 200 million users, Facebook more than a billion, and Twitter over 500 million. Although LinkedIn dominates job search and recruiting, other sites are also being utilized. Forbes reported that over 50% of recruiters use Facebook and nearly 46% use Twitter (based on a survey by Bullhorn). Facebook is expected to capture [...]
Laughter And Ibuprofen Are The Best Medicines
The other day I woke up feeling down. It was cold and overcast outside – no sun to brighten the spirits. Normally I’m upbeat so I decided that something would happen to make things better. Engaging in my normal morning routine, I realized we were about to miss the garbage pickup. Wearing only capri exercise [...]
