  • Pseudo Extrovert

    Cabin on Lake The secret is to put yourself in the right light. For some it’s a Broadway spotlight, for others, a lamplit desk. Susan Cain Under the category of things I wish I had recognized about myself earlier in life. I am not comfortable at large parties. Or events where conversation with people I…

  • Living a Gracious Life

    We may be excused for not always being bright, but we are not excused for not being gracious, yielding and considerate. St. Francis de Sales I recently ran across a book titled, Gracious by Kelly Williams Brown. It advertises itself as, “A Practical Primer on Charm, Tact and Unsinkable Strength.” The copyright is 2017, but…

    I’m so glad we live in a world where there are Octobers. L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables I have never waited for the calendar to announce the first day of autumn. For me it begins at the start of September. As I turn the calendar to a new month. I change my laptop wallpaper…

  • Embracing Autumn: A Season of Reflection and Renewal

    Notice that Autumn is more a season of the soul than of nature. Friedrich Nietzsche I’m anticipating cooler weather later this week. I believe fall is in the air. Autumn is never a sure thing in Colorado. Some years it seems we go directly from summer to winter. I’m always sad to miss autumn. It…

  • Compromise

    Learn the wisdom of compromise, for it is better to bend a little than to break. Jane Wells I took this photo of the New York skyline during a business trip in 2009, nine years after 9/11. Today, 24 years later, we are still traumatized by this unimaginable act of terrorism. But, this isn’t about…

    Instruction is good for a child; but example is worth more. Alexandre Dumas Many times, when facing a problem, I find myself wondering what my grandmother would say.

  • Setting Priorities Amid Technology

    Time has a wonderful way of showing us what really matters. – Margaret Peters Sometimes, for me, the job of setting priorities becomes daunting. It’s like climbing this steep wall outside of the St. Regis Hotel. Even the birds are trapped. How do we extricate ourselves from the myriad of options assaulting us at every…

  • Finding Joy

    weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. Psalms 3O:5 “Joy cometh in the morning.” As encouraging as it sounds, there has been a decided lack of joy in my circle. This has been true for much of the summer. Our world has been surrounded in a haze of catastrophic predictions.…
