I had a young man working in my organization not so long ago. A tall, good looking, sweet and capable young man. He was caught drinking Carl House alcohol on the job. I had to let him go. In letting him go, I offered that I would not abandon him, but rather walk alongside him [...]
Our nuclear family, as we all know, is not what Ozzie and Harriet portrayed in the 50s....not one bit. I own and run a special event venue.....a lovely one in fact. I get teary with each bride I send down the aisle....hopeful that what they are putting out to the Universe, hopes, dreams what-have-you....might [...]
If you've been reading my blog awhile, you'll know perhaps that one of MY favorite things, on this earthly planet, is time alone, snugged in my bed in the morning, computer on my lap and a cup of joe by my side. Learning to be by oneself, relish the moments, taking the time to be [...]
As I fly off to Montana looking ever higher. Ever higher. Toward those untraveled roads. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDevnAeoyqI&fs=1&hl=en_US] Merry Christmas, or more simply, great peace, love and joy to you. BB Webb
There is SO much to share, so much to write about....and at the moment, as I work toward the end of what has been one HECK of a year....I have little time for my favorite pass time (Interesting expressing that...'pass time'). I wonder with that....if I'm correct with that expression. My sister-in-law told me once [...]
There has been much shifting afoot and 'things' seem to be sorting themselves out, though certainly not always with total ease. My friend Karen, (beloved wife of my now deceased and treasured mentor Tony Montanaro) yesterday sent me this quote..... "I want to do to you what spring does to the cherry trees." Pablo Neruda [...]
One drip of consciousness into the next....our slow awakenings. Mine come slowly and then periodically, in solid and sudden bursts. BOOM! We see. We hear. We know. We know, on NO uncertain terms we see ourselves, our path anew. And the awkwardness of ambivalence and compromise leaves. The choice to love oneself becomes stronger than [...]
I hadn't put it together until just this evening, but my father, Bob Banta, (who dubbed me Barbara Suzanne Banta) was a BB as well. Happy Birthday to my father, Bob Banta. He died some time ago and honestly, I feel a greater bond with him since his death than perhaps when he was of [...]
A major 'aha'....(they're coming like popcorn kernels these days) hit me like a small stone on the head this morning. I've felt changes brewing within a lot over the last weeks and months....(I've had a direction in mind for quite some time)...but of late, I'm being 'popped' around quite a bit and that's fine...I can [...]
I'm working on a new talk which I'm eager to get out and about throughout not just my neck of the woods, in and around Atlanta, but globally somehow. And yes, in PERSON, not just over the Internet Super Highway! I believe in FACE to FACE communications! With that, I'll be speaking about how we [...]
