Author unknown (if someone ends up finding out, please let me know so I can give proper credit) A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. The conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life. Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to…

Today we celebrate Thanksgiving…a holiday whose intent is to help remind us to be thankful for what we have, and how fortunate we are to live where we live. The thing is, we need that reminder for a reason. The American culture has become so consumed with…pardon the pun…consumerism that we so often forget to…

JoAnn just got back from the grocery store with what’s needed for tomorrow’s feast. I was then handed the below-pictured can by Josh (our almost 22-month old) and told the story behind it. They were in line for checkout, when Josh looked over at the cooler by the stand, pointed, and said “Daddy”. JoAnn wasn’t…

This evening I came across a site with a concept that I hadn’t heard before, but it makes so much sense… We’ve all heard the adage that to be happy, we should do what we really love to do. Sounds good, but is that realistic…or even right? What if you aren’t very good at what…

So, yeah…the new site is up. Will be some minor tweaking later tonight, but there it is! What do you think?

Class is now in session. Yes, I’m sure you’ve read all kinds of books, some of which may have actually held decent information. But I’m about to reveal something revolutionary, something that very few companies know about, and even fewer demonstrate. Prepare to be schooled. One of the key seekrits to business is this: be…

So about a minute ago, I’m checking email and browsing, when I very clearly hear gunshots…4 shots. Run out to the porch, and it’s quiet…no cars gunning it away from that direction, no yelling, nothing. And to think we aren’t even on Hilltop…welcome to Tacoma.
