Unexpected Helpfulness
I am fascinated by human behavior and how we react to situations. Understand I said ‘react’ not act. We react to everyday situations and things that present us with a choice on how to respond. That choice we choose and the behavior that we exhibit interests me. I was studying some information not long ago […]
Fear and Freedom
Two words that start with the letter ‘F’ but couldn’t be further apart in meaning and function There are many things, events, feelings, emotions that are common to all men and women. Some are good, some are bad, and some can be used for good that might be considered bad. The bottom line though is […]
100% Genuine, Authentic
Original, Genuine, 100% pure are all phrases we’ve heard hundreds if not thousands of times. They get lost in the marketing madness of today’s world where phrase and name recognition wins the day. In the end, though, does a catchy phrase actually change your situation or ‘win the day’ when it comes to your personal […]
Routines
It’s so easy at times to get lost in our routines that we lose sight of the fact if they are significant or not. Sometimes we lose the significance of our routine things because we do them all of the time. For those of us who live in the middle of NC, we can be […]
Let’s Focus!
Focus is such an interesting topic. Growing up in a ‘photo family’, using a camera was basically a requirement.

Below the Waterline
We easily forget this but what happens below the surface is actually more important then what we see on the outside or above the water line. Being a child of NC, born and bred in from the red clay and evergreen pines of NC, the USS North Carolina is an integral part of my […]
I believe YOU CAN!
I believe you can… I don’t know for sure but if I were to have a Ph.D. it would be on ‘how to keep going’ and never giving up. We laugh at the movie Galaxy Quest but the line ‘never give up, never surrender’ actually has a real life, true to life meaning. No […]
Team Building and Team Morale
Most of us work best in some kind of team. There are two main things that help build a great team to accomplish the goals ahead! Collaboration Safety And…there are two main groups in any team. Extroverts and Introverts. It is true that when we have a harmonious, mature, adult approach we can […]
Letting go…So you can Grow
This week was a milestone. I have been cradling, like all parents, my son since the day of his birth. There are many ‘big events’ in a child’s life but one of them is getting a drivers license. The permit is one thing but the actual license is something different. And…from a parent perspective, […]
