Don’t Bark at the Amish Horses (They Don’t Care)
My dog, when he was alive, loved to bark at the Amish buggies and horses, that would trot up and down our road multiple times every day. He was a herder. He loved to chase things that were on the move, no matter what they were. It was more than “loved to”- he was born…

Good Leaders
A good leader- Shows and doesn’t tell (they don’t have to). Leads by example. Is strong and kind. Knows what is important. Knows how to apologize. And knows when to admit that they were wrong. Good leaders inspire others to do the right thing. Last night, one of my local radio stations played some of…

Where I’ve Felt Loved
Sitting here watching the snow come down in big chunks outside and thinking about where I’ve felt loved… I always felt loved with my Uncle, no matter where we were at. Uncle Rodney was always glad to see you and it showed. He had a cool muscle car and an ever-present, slightly-guilty grin on his…

Can You Be a Cat and Dog Person?
Do you think you can be both? It’s like saying you love the beach and the mountains, which also describes me to a tee. My favorite animals are cats and dogs. I love cats because of their personalities. They are soft. The ones that I’ve had over the years love sitting on you or next…

A Change for the Better
We’ve made our way into this new year a little bit… and maybe you’re already noticing that the changes you wanted to make for the new year are already falling to the wayside. Change can be hard. Humans are creatures of habit, for better or worse, and to make a lasting change can be a…

Playtime- Can we please be playful with goals?
I love the beginning of the year. It always feels like a clean slate to me. A time to think about a whole new year ahead, and what do I want to do with it? (Read.) Where do I want to go? (Mexico. Again.) Who do I want to see? (Metal bands.) What do I…

First Impressions
I haven’t thought about this one in a while… but I think more than anything I want to give people the impression that I’m kind, and that I care. My natural tendency is to take things too seriously, so another thing that I try to impress on people is that I do indeed have a…

Screen Time
It can be hard to manage screen time. I consider my phone, computer, and TV to all be part of the “screen” category. Screen time can be productive- I’m thinking of time spent writing- so it’s not always a “bad” thing. But I am trying to be more mindful of it. I don’t want to…

Time
“Do you need time?” Well I have time. We all do. The problem I think is that I can get so busy with being busy that it starts to feel like I don’t have time. On a bad day- If I come home from work for instance, dragging work along with me, then it ends…
