Acidic vs Alkaline  This is something I have struggled with over the last five years.  My tell that I am too acidic is heartburn.  If I have heartburn for a few days, my throat actually gets sore.  I used to think that I was getting a cold and would up my vitamin C and then […]

Cutting Costs: Downsizing Business Expenses:  Sometimes, we have to seriously look at adjusting our spending.  Some companies hire a bean counter, some people make aggressive changes, some make passive changes, some downsize their employees.  Actually, the latter is something that people tend to start with as it is seems to be the best way to […]

Allow Yourself Time:  I took an extra couple days off. Just needed that time to relax and chill.  I think it is important that we know that about ourselves – when we need to allow ourselves to do that.  Due to the recent storms, it gave me the opportunity to reflect, rest, relax and just […]

Making Effective Decisions:  First off, you need to understand the challenges, problems, issues, and possible opportunities.  Next, you need to apply critical thinking to create a clarification process in order to develop the necessary alternatives to choose between.  Only then can you actually make a recommendation to implement the solution or decision.  After this process […]

Peace:  This is a very loaded word.  One that not many people have truly captured.    It has taken me a lifetime of pursuing peace to finally grasp what it truly is and how to obtain it.  First off, I found out that you cannot have peace without forgiveness.  You forgive others, not because they deserve […]

Mentoring:  When people retire or move, do you take advantage of the knowledge that they have gained and give them ample time to train the next employee.  Many employers lose out on knowledge sharing when people walk out the door after many years of service.  Granted the new or chosen employee for the position will […]

Technology Reboot:  It is amazing how we rely on different pieces of technology every minute of the day!  If you go into work and your computer isn’t working properly, your phone glitches or has issues, the technology in your car isn’t working the way it should, it can be very frustrating.  Sometimes we have an […]

Mitigating Risk:  The risk mitigation involves development of mitigation plans designed to manage, eliminate, or reduce risk to an acceptable level. Once a plan is implemented, it is continually monitored to assess its efficacy with the intent of revising the course-of-action if needed.  Risk mitigation planning is the process of developing options and actions to enhance […]

Be Realistic:  You can’t do everything at once.    I know how it is to want things the way that you want them, but you can’t kill yourself trying to get there.  Prioritize things as you can, roll with the punches when you have to, and breathe and relax.  It will get there – it may […]

My work ethic:  I would consider myself very fortunate.  One of my first jobs was working for my dad.  We owned a food van and a restaurant.  I helped out and worked where I could around my schedule as a tween.  We lived in a small town, so our house was 1 ½ blocks from […]

Sleep:   How much sleep do we really need?  We can research what they say is optimal sleep for us, however, we are all different.  The way I gauge this is if I wake up prior to my alarm going off, then I know that I have had enough sleep.  I do notice that during colder […]

Maintenance: We take better care of our vehicles than we do ourselves.  We keep up on the maintenance, regular oil changes, etc.    We take our bodies and mind for granted. We have such high expectations regarding our bodies and minds. We expect them to run great everyday – at times or with regular lack of rest […]
