Not showing up

Friday, December 1st, 2017

I have written on the topic of promise, agreements, commitments before, but I still find all too often that people think nothing of just not showing up for something they said they’d show up for. I find it very frustrating. Posting this as a reminder to keep your commitments (and if you don’t think you […]

Are You Over-Committed?

Friday, May 29th, 2015

In a day and age when people often say, “People just don’t seem to have the commitment they used to have” (in the good ol’ days). They say, “People aren’t committed to their jobs or their marriages or their children, etc.” I must admit… I find myself exhausted by the end of the day lately. […]

The Power of NO

Friday, January 24th, 2014

I have written about the need to say “No” before, but have recently been asked to revisit the topic. Let me start with a story…. I was in the hallway of a past work place asking a co-worker if they could help with an evening event. They hemmed and hawed and eventually gave some explanation […]

So what is a military veteran? FEDERAL […]

Viet Nam Veteran’s Welcome Home

Friday, November 9th, 2012

Back in March, my husband and I had the privilege to be volunteers, with the USO NC, at the Viet Nam Veteran’s Welcome Home Ceremony in Charlotte, NC. Many of you know that I am an Army BRAT, and an Army mom, so my family is quite respectful of our military and their families, and […]

Your cheatin’ heart (PG13)

Friday, August 10th, 2012

I read an interesting FB post link yesterday. I think it was titled, “Why married men don’t cheat” or some such thing. I skimmed it, as Jim and I discuss this every now and again, when we hear about some celebrity affair/divorce. I just don’t understand what people don’t get – once you’re committed to […]
