Who Lights Up Your Life?

Who are the people who brighten your days? I’m blessed to know a number of impressive, intelligent, influential folks. I know people who demonstrate wisdom, insight, leadership, discernment, tenacity, compassion, service, and sacrifice. I learn a great deal from their teaching and leading.

Reflect

HAPPY MONDAY! The last Monday of 2014 got me thinking about today’s word-of-the-week… REFLECT New Year’s resolutions get all the attention, but I find it useful to look back.

Ever run across a familiar idea stated in a way that smacks you between the eyes? I did some reading over the holiday break and encountered this quote: We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give. (Winston Churchill) We need to pay the bills and we all […]

Spinergy wheels are some of the best cycle wheels available. The carbon fiber rims are super light, and the whole system reduces rolling resistance […]

It’s All About The Foundation

Appearances can deceive. Over the weekend I watched one of those DIY shows. A young woman purchased a cute, completely refurbished bungalow. After a few months the surface restorations began to crumble because the previous owner merely covered over serious, costly-to-repair problems. As a first-time owner, she was overwhelmed and tempted to walk away. But […]

Surprise

Happy Monday! A home repair prompts today’s word-of-the-week… SURPRISE Ah, Christmas—tis the season for surprises. Last week we heard a minor squeaking noise from our furnace fan. The noise stopped, but we had a guy come for a routine maintenance check. He walked up the basement stairs with that look on his face. A crack […]
