Last night my supervisor started giving out performance reviews and pay raise notices. Some people were satisfied with their reviews and pay increases, others were not.
It’s amazing to me how many people think their poor review or low pay raise is the direct result of what someone else is doing or has done.
They don’t see […]

I just finished reading the book Don’t Eat This Book: Fast Food and the Supersizing of America by Morgan Spurlock. [Spurlock is the man who chronicled his experience of eating only McDonald’s food for a month in the movie Super Size Me.]

This past Friday night five friends and I spent some time eating pizza and talking about our goals for the coming year.
There was a surprise announcement which created a moment of stunned silence before transforming into bursts of laughter and girlish chattering.
But most of the goals were fairly commonplace involving health, fitness and career […]

Our closest friends challenge us to change, to grow, and to become the best we can be. ~Unknown
That’s yesterday’s quote on my Friendship perpetual calendar. Yes, a friend gave it to me for Christmas, and yes I was a day behind in flipping the page. Oops.

One of the most important things we need to feel about our selected goals is passion. If there is no passion, there’s little commitment to the tasks or process of completing them.
So what do you do when your passion level keeps going up and down? I don’t mean up and down like the elevator in […]

Ahhh… January in Maine. Not my favorite time of the year. Let’s face it, I’ll never be a snow bunny.
But this year has been amazingly warm. And rather than worry and fuss about global warming I’ve decided to just enjoy this unusual burst of good weather.

I just learned about a new website that is sure to inspire an “awhhhh” reaction from the most cynical people.
Cute Overload may push these people over the edge, but most of us will just smile, sigh and be grateful for all things cute.

Today’s edition of C.J. Hayden’s Get Clients Now! ™ e-zine asked me to consider what ingredient might be missing from my marketing recipe. My mind shifted gears though, and I wondered “What ingredient might be missing from my life?”
C.J. used the cooking analogy to emphasize her point. And although I tend to stay as far […]

A good friend of mine recently retired from a high stress job at a major insurance company. To say that she’s been counting down the days would not be an exageration. Everytime I connected with her I’d ask, “How many days?” and she always knew… exactly. Sometimes she even told me how many hours!
