Life Lesson #27: Obedience
Posted on February 17, 2016February 17, 2016

Life Lesson #27: Obedience

In a world that rejects accountability and rules, this word is often associated with negativity. But if we own our purpose, obedience is a positive choice: using our will to choose to do the hard work ahead of us to pursue that purpose, that calling in a disciplined and accountable way. In my life I … Continue reading Life Lesson #27: Obedience

Crap, I have The Oldness

…how we will know when we officially have what I have termed The Oldness. Like, when you think people are older than you, but they are actually younger than you. By a lot. Continue reading Crap, I have The Oldness

Notes for New Year’s Days

It’s January 1, which means we are all inundated with the should, could, may, might, must possibly consider doing *new* this year.  I’m all for an annual tabula rasa, but before I get all crazy with an Extreme Makeover 2015 Edition, which rubberbands us right past today and into the excitement of our future this … Continue reading Notes for New Year’s Days

What’s the YOU experience?

I work in the field traditionally known as HR. I call it HT, for human talent, as I’m pretty sure that we have moved away from an era of considering people as resources–the same word we might use to describe the copier or computer. In HT, we often discuss people’s experiences in relation to employment: What … Continue reading What’s the YOU experience?

Less Drama. More Substance.

I think we have a scary epidemic on our hands. It seems that youth isn’t the only thing we are culturally obsessed with.

The Consequences of Transparency (or Ruminations While Sick)

I’m a “carrier”, which means that while I have the illness, I don’t experience the nasty effects–but am still contagious and can give the illness to others. I like to … Continue reading The Consequences of Transparency (or Ruminations While Sick)

America: Decline or Fine? (Part 1 of 3)

“America is in decline.” This is the idea lodged in my brain, condensed down from the mosaic of sources over the past few years. From political science research to talk radio to online news, the focus on how developing countries are eating our (American) lunch in terms of economic and political importance left me worried … Continue reading America: Decline or Fine?
