July 5, 2011 – 5:04 PM
Life is full of challenges. Do you look at them as challenges or ‘problems’? They say you can’t win them all…which is probably true. How do you respond when you don’t meet the challenge?

Attitude Is A Choice
May 8, 2010 – 10:19 AM
Ask yourself these questions: Do I recognize the opportunity in each situation or feel victimized? Am I a winner or a whiner? Is the glass half-full or half-empty? Notice that for each question, there are two choices? There may be more that weren’t listed. The point is, you have a choice. The motivation for writing [...]
Michigan Steelhead Fishing
April 29, 2010 – 2:20 AM
Every now and again we all need to take some time for some R&R to “sharpen the saw”, as Steven Covey would say. So, I took a break last week to take a step back from everything and enjoy the outdoors and one of my passions – fly fishing.
