A muse and wander? Sure, come with me. I recall hearing this term, "sea change" a long while back in school -- a classmate used the term with a very understated but all together impressive and serious tone, talking about some matter of strategic import concerning a business plan. The details of that conversation has …

They say "laughter is the best medicine"...so here's a funny for ya. To break up the insight and reflection and lesson posts. 🙂 Just a little good ol' humor for you to brighten your day. Hopefully you get a chuckle. Or you might even laugh out loud, like I did. ENJOY!

Am I talking about the Barenaked Ladies song, you wonder...? Nope, no muse on music this time around. These numbers were a portion of a part number I was looking for last week when I was doing cycle counts. The tray of parts was suppose to be on one shelf...but someone had put it elsewhere. …
Build Your House on Rock
I heard a great and simple lesson earlier today, and would like to share it. If we build our lives on this simple lesson, we will be better, happier individuals. In fact, I would offer that this lesson is part of the bedrock of our humanity. And just what is this lesson? It is the …
Find A Highlight
Find a highlight? Yep, and here's an example. Watching the movie "Sing" last night with the family - for like the sixth time - and my daughter drew this picture: "Squids Wanted" 🙂 Find a Highlight.

Learning to pick up your pace yourself and continue forward is an important life-skill. Example? As you might imagine, my own situation currently has …
Walking Prayer
I've been walking and praying for the last 25 years, anyway. I was brought up in the church, and learned various ways of praying throughout my formative years as a believer. At some point I started praying when I went for walks. This practice is probably pretty common, overall. Walking leads to thinking, thoughts …
Let It Go
Not the famous song from the hit musical cartoon movie, Frozen, but rather, a couple quick reminders offered as lessons. As so often seems the case with this blog, I'm sharing lessons I myself took from recent interactions that provided me helpful insight. "Let it go" when it comes to pushing yourself beyond reasonable measure. …
Resist, Insist, Persist
In the day-to-day activities that amount to living, there is a certain amount of interaction required with "The Man." "The Man" is a euphemism for any organization, faceless entity, or otherwise that attempts to wield authority over our affairs, our decisions, our lives. It's important to remember these three central ideas when dealing with The …
Remember
"Those who do not learn from their history are doomed to repeat it." Remember those who died during the attacks in the United States on 11 September 2001. Remember those who died saving other people on that day. Remember those who have died since responding to the evil that spurred those attacks. REMEMBER.
