Laughter:  Laughter is the best medicine. What do you do that makes you laugh or gives you the giggles every day? Is it a regular sitcom that you watch and enjoy? Is it a joke book in the bathroom? What puts a smile on your face daily? It is very important to smile and laugh […]

Human Error:  To err is human… It is and has been an expression for years, and there is truth in it! In every position that I have held, I have looked into this little saying and looked for areas that we can cause errors.  I do my best to minimize the human error risk by […]

TGIF:  We embark on yet another weekend – some time to ourselves! As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, I plan on doing very little this weekend.  I am going to hang out in my jammies, watch movies and keep warm!  It takes a toll going out in this brutal cold and for your body to […]

Budgeting for the Future:  It is very good practice that after year end is complete, you review your numbers and create a budget for the current year. Based off of the numbers, you will have an idea of your profit and loss and it will be fresh in your mind.  Look at what possible expenditures […]

Blah:  Do you ever feel this way? It has been a bit of a harsh winter where I live – up and down temperatures – a lot of -40 (colder than the North Pole on many days), when it does get nice it storms and then the roads are not good for travelling. Somedays it […]

Year End:  This time of year can be challenging for many people.  Just after Christmas and New Year’s rest and relax time, you get straight into year end when you get back to work and your brain is still on vacation mode! It takes a lot of preparation, organization and even some overtime to get […]

Loneliness:  I would say that is one word that comes to mind during the last two years. Due to the restrictions and lock downs, it has kept people inside and without a lot of outside communication or visitation.  With a lot of people working from home as well, there has been a lot less face […]

Fundraising:  As the nation and possibly others have opened their pocket books to assist in the Freedom Convoy 2022 (at this point, it is over 9.5 million dollars, which is absolutely heartwarming and phenomenal). It is great to see people united and standing together, not only in words, but in actions, sharing, caring, participation, standing […]

Have Fun:  Today I had a very nice compliment from a client. He is an older gentleman who has been around the block a time or two – he has travelled and been to many different businesses and locations. What he said to me today hit home and I thanked him for his compliment and […]

Photos:  In a world where the younger generations are continually taking selfies – which honestly just amazes me; I have never enjoyed my photo being taken, never mind sharing it with other people and the world… Due to this, I am usually the one taking the photos. This can be a good thing, but I […]

Changes to the Industry:  Many times throughout history, there are changes that go on in different industries. During the past two years, as we have worked our way through the pandemic, changes have happened in order to keep up with things that are going on. It has more or less been a forced change on […]

Memories:  All of us have memories; some are great, some are amazing, some are tough and some are ones we would like to forget. Either way, they are part of what makes us who we are today. Sometimes we focus too much on the ones we wish we could forget and forget about the good […]
