For those of you who don’t know Latin, this translates roughly to “What the Hell!!”. No, I didn’t know that and I had to use a translator app to figure it out. However, this is what I seem to be constantly saying to myself for the past 6+ weeks since Trump re-entered the White House. …

2024 Election Reflection
While I actively try to stay away from online political discussions as it only serves to further divide our country along political and theological lines. For the most part, I live by the philosophy of Linus Van Pelt. “There are three things I’ve learned never to discuss with people: religion, politics, and the Great Pumpkin.” …
I find myself weeping for the future of our country
As the citizens of Georgia head to the polls today to vote in a very important run-off election between Democratic, Senator Warnock and Republican challenger, Hershel Walker, I find I’m conflicted. On the one hand, I feel a small sense of hope, that Senator Warnock will retain his seat in the Senate but on the …

SCOTUS
I wrote this on the day that SCOTUS overturned Roe V. Wade. I neglected to add this to my blog so I’m catching up. I have been thinking about this all day as today’s SCOTUS ruling to overturn Roe V Wade saddens me, disappoints me, scares me and angers me to name just a few …

What do your employees mean to you?
Early in my career, I heard the statement “Your employees are your biggest asset.” I spent many years of my work life trying to live by this mantra and instill this as a main point in helping to drive positive company culture. However, several years ago, it became clear to me that if you think …
Monday Morning Quarterback
Well, here we are, Monday after the Superbowl and all the Armchair Coaches and Referees come out with their analysis. I don’t blame anyone for doing this. It’s in our nature to talk about the game and outcome and how it could have been changed if just this or that happened. However, what I see …
Impeachment
As the impeachment “trial” winds down in the Senate, it has become increasingly clear that our country has lost its moral compass. We have become a nation divided and for many, a nation that values political party over national interests. I’m not sure what we are anymore but we are no longer a Constitutional Republic. …
