At What Cost?
When talking about the cost of something we usually think in terms of cash, currency. How much money will this item or service cost me? For most the financial resources we have access to in our banking and brokerage accounts are limited. We can’t afford to buy anything we want and must live on a…

Goals or Objectives?
Goals, objectives, are they one in the same? I think there are some distinctions between the two. Objectives may have a goal component to them, but objectives are efforts or actions intended to attain or accomplish a purpose, while goals focus more on a certain result. For instance, a goal could be to lose 30…

Why Don’t We Rest?
Three responses that I hear on a regular basis when I ask friends, family, co-workers and even just acquaintances how they are doing is busy, tired, and exhausted. Busyness is for sure a problem. In the workplace the expectation seems to be you are available 24/7. Busyness is worn as a badge of honor if…

Of course, I’m Pro Choice!
Did you panic or want to tune me out when you saw today’s blog title? Please don’t! I despise it when a group or political movement coopt and manipulate a perfectly good phrase such as “pro-choice” to promote or further their propaganda campaigns and agendas. In the abortion debate (which isn’t a debate at all,…

Risky Business
Are you a risk taker? For me, not so much. My personality and temperament are much more wired toward stability, safety, and security. For instance, I’m not much of a risk taker in the area of finances and take a much more conservative approach to investments rather than being speculative. You also won’t see me…

In my pursuit of rest and life balance over the past four years, one of the most significant changes I made was in the area of diet. I followed a paleo diet for a while, then switched to keto. I dropped wheat, flour, seed oils, most sugar added, and processed foods from my diet. The…

I Love Mondays!
I love Mondays! I also look forward to Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Are you one of those people who loathe Monday mornings and the beginning a new workweek? Do you live for the weekend? Sometime around noon on Wednesday does a smile break across your face as you declare, “It’s “hump” day!”…

CYOUL8R Possessions or People?
Saturday morning, I was on my way to visit a friend. While driving, a late model shiny sports car abruptly pulled over into my lane ahead of me. The license plate read CYOUL8R. In other words, – “See you later.” I shook my head and couldn’t help but wonder, wow, you spent 80 grand or…

Is it about Process or Habit? Yes!
In both my personal and professional life, I am a process person. I am a creature of habit and get the “hives” or break out into a cold sweat when things are chaotic, cluttered, or out of order. Now, making sure all the screws on light switches and electrical outlets in my house are facing…

Stop talking with your Thumbs.
Are you “talking” with your thumbs more than you are with your mouth? It used to be if you wanted to “chat” with someone it meant you were seeking to speak with them in conversation, one on one. Now a days the word “chat” has taken on a whole new meaning. We have Chatbot, ChatGPT,…
