Hello Senior Year
Get over it: There is no such thing as work/life balance
This was the opening comment from a manager I met with recently. Later in the day while in another meeting I asked a manager peer about her recent time off.
So dump the guilt, forget balance and strive for success instead. It is possible to win at home and at work.
Is college required for you to find “it”?

How we became 100% debt free
Last month our family achieved an important milestone in our lives. We dropped in the mail our final house payment to become 100% debt free!
The Power of Encouragement
Her words right at that moment encouraged me to keep moving and to reach the goal I had spent so many months working towards. I was just four miles from completing my dream to run a marathon and I was not about to stop running now thanks to some kindness that was not even intended for me.
Don’t give up. It just takes a small step to move forward.
Hello My Name Is…..
Wal-Mart sucks and so do I
Like many people I know, I avoid shopping at Wal-Mart as much as possible. I loathe the dozens of cashier stations with typically just a small percentage open. I cringe at the thought of using the terrible self-service kiosks that always seem to crash when I use them while gleefully exclaiming, “item not found in bag” when I try to pay. Oh the agony.
Give me the high class folks of Target or a locally owned store any day.
Huh?
I was no further away from the store than the parking lot when the whole thing came crashing down on my heart.
This turned into a teachable moment as I asked my son to forgive me for this behavior. I told him Dr. King had it right when he said we should judge people by the content of their character and not as they appear or as we might perceive based on prejudgments.
In the end I am thankful for the lesson that day as it reminded me how far I have to go if I am to become the man I was born to become.
