What do you do when you receive an award or special recognition for something you’ve done? Do you shout your news from the tree tops or do you just quietly continue about your day keeping your achievement to yourself waiting for someone to ask you about it?
In the past I’ve fallen in to the latter […]
For those of you who know me well, you know that I only enjoy early morning when it comes at the end of the day–not the beginning. Yesterday, at the end of a long work night I arrived home to bright sunshine and warm temperatures. It was so nice outside. The air smelled fresh, the […]

I was getting myself psyched up for this call. You see I dread making phone calls. It’s the hardest thing that I do. Tell me to talk in […]

I’ve become caught in my own perfectionist trap again. Ouch! I hate it when that happens. I hate it even more when I have to admit it to the world.
