Here’s a short and sweet (actually more like prune juice) bit of advice for consideration: ignore gossip! Here’s the thing. Those who gossip to you, gossip about you. Plain and simple. Gossip is currency and hardly anyone gives anything away for free. Gossipers are gnats. They are moving […]
The month of May, as part of spring, is one of rejuvenation, recalibration, and rejoicing. It’s a renaissance, of sorts. It’s also my birthday month. I tend to treat the whole month as “my time” to treat myself. Sadly, for me this month of May was brutal both […]
I have seen almost every single Tom Cruise movie there is. The one that I have yet to see is Vanilla Sky. It never drew me in. Here’s the thing about Tom Cruise, as a person he’s got some interesting issues (bur who doesn’t?). As an actor, he’s […]

Silence allows contempt and misinformation to take hold. Not allowing a group of self-righteous know-it-alls dictate (incorrectly […]
In the United States, and especially in non-profits, titles are a funny thing. They are sour grapes layered in molasses with a sprinkling of unwarranted narcissism. Yes a mouthful. Maybe not even understandable. Americans put a lot of weight behind a title. Self worth is tied to salary, […]
