Prosperity:  What do you think of when you hear or see this word?  Upon looking online for a definition or related material on prosperity, it is defined primarily as financial or economic success.  https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/prosperity   I have always looked at this word a little differently.  To me it means to have well rounded success and blessings:  […]

Pricing:  Where do you sit competitively speaking?  Do you check your competitors pricing?  Do you survey your customers to see where they view your pricing?  This is a topic many people don’t like looking at or checking into.  As things get tighter in our pocket books, trust me, your customers are checking around and they […]

Grace:  Grace has many different meanings if you look it up.  I am utilizing the below definition in this case.  When looking it up, it tends to have a religious connotation and there are many spiritual references, and scriptures that one can look up and many of these have been quoted in books, articles, magazines […]

Stillness:  In the last few years, there has been an underlying stillness – almost time standing still.  I say this because of the lack of travel, movement, going out, every day was like the one before.    For me, this created a stillness, a quietness; previously my life had been very busy – between work, visiting […]

Bucket List:  Have you ever truly taken the time to do a bucket list?  This is something we talked about regularly in my family and my parents were very good at making a lot of my grandparent’s bucket list items possible.  As I got older, I recognized that not many people discussed these kinds of […]

Stress:  In the past, a huge stress reliever used to be going away for a winter holiday – to relax on a beach, hang out in the sun, swim, go on local tours, etc.  During the past two years this has been a lot harder.  In saying that, what are you doing for you to […]

Performance Reviews:  It’s that time again – or at least for some.    Employees like getting feedback – either way, they like to know where they stand and how you feel about their performance.  You can’t improve what you don’t know.  If you are not doing these on a regular basis, please think about incorporating them […]

Life as an Animal  I was asked in a job interview – if I was an animal, what would I be.  Funny this is I had an answer – a specific answer which actually shocked the interviewers.  It is something I have thought about periodically through my life – maybe because I absolutely love animals.  […]

Passion:  When you are passionate about what you do; it doesn’t feel like work or responsibility.  You can put in extra time and effort and you are happy to do so.  Being passionate about what you are doing is a gift.  There are very few people out there that are able to do something that they […]
