Which is it. What do we do from one day to the next, moment to the next? SUPPORT...I'm all for that, giving it and receiving it. Support to me is giving someone the tools to do what they have the ability to do. We can give it and receive it...Support for efforts in growth, learning [...]

Just Keep Showing Up…

2010-01-20T21:39:05-07:00By |LIfe|

I'm at the airport, connected finally to the internet, waaaay early for meeting my sister-in-law in from Germany to visit during her layover, and somehow, (a first), I'm not interested in people watching....as the flood of emails has grown in being out of my office networking for two days. I'm wondering when it all becomes [...]

Friends can be like…

...popcorn, constant explosions of impulse, surprise, support, smarts and fun, fun, fun! I'll speak today of one favorite friend....my pal 2Lu. She's smart as a whip, wears the funniest clown pants in history, makes me laugh so hard with her quick wit and sharp tongue, has a selflessness in key areas that inspire and leave [...]

The Passing of Time and Times…

2009-12-29T02:33:29-07:00By |LIfe|

A friend of mine died this weekend. It was sudden and the details don’t matter. This news felt like a kick in the gut, I literally felt all the blood rush to my head as I heard the news. My breathing actually stopped. I had to have it repeated several times to really take it [...]

We Americans….

2009-10-31T10:49:22-06:00By |Change|

What is happening? I watched, just this morning, Michael Moore's film, 'Sicko' (from 2007), while just earlier reading a blog about the recent credit card travesty and diabolical 'adjustment' meant to further cripple and keep Americans hostage. Having just reviewed the increase in healthcare costs for me and my employees and having in the same week [...]

Jeannette Rankin, a woman among men, among women…

2009-10-17T13:52:58-06:00By |People I Admire|

I recently served as Mistress of Ceremonies for the Jeannette Rankin Foundation annual dinner, held in Athens, GA. I've known of this organization for a number of years and had the opportunity to interview its Executive Director, Sue Lawrence on my former tv show several years back. The Jeannette Rankin Foundation, based out of Athens, [...]

Oh the people we meet.

Overall, (and remind me I said this), I'm having a love affair with life. And love affairs are interesting....they have their highs and their lows...but just as Jerry Seinfeld exclaims in one of his many (by me, beloved) episodes of the Seinfeld show, 'make up sex is the BEST sex.'  I'm grooving on the metaphor. [...]

I feel an adventure brewing…

2009-10-02T12:10:59-06:00By |Travel|

Whenever I read Tom Robbins, I get a hankerin to hit the road...it's a must now and again....usually alone, though often with someone I know along route or at my destinations end, and on fine occasion, with a fellow traveller, but alone is fine too. It's what I call my 'expanding time' as I never [...]

Of Mice and Men

2009-09-19T14:06:38-06:00By |Reflection, Television & Other Media|

John Steinbeck continues to be a favorite author of mine. I wasn't much of a reader as a kid though had a reading list I was required to complete before attending my new school in 9th grade. That was a great summer. One of my first books from the list was Steinbeck's Of Mice and [...]
