You don't need to go on a vacation to appreciate what's all around you.

This has been talked about before and is worth talking about it again.

We’re always going to have things get in our way. Big things. Small things. You name it, they’re coming. How you choose to look at them makes all the difference in the world.

April 9th, my mom’s BDay. RIP. Always missed, never forgotten.

Due to some problems with my SD card the latest episode with Cynthia got erased or lost or whatever happens when your SD card gets ruined. My apologies.

It was great finally getting Cynthia Corn on with me.   She was my Principal for 4 years while I taught in Kansas City, MO.  We talk about that experience among other things.  I'll always be proud and grateful for the work we did together.  It wasn't an easy task.  From a teacher to a Principal, the dance of leadership has many moves.

We all get the choice. We all have the same amount of time. You’re either going to do it or you’re not. Find a way or find an excuse. Period.

Do you want to achieve something? Anything?  It takes effort.  Period.  No amount of "luck" will get it for you.  Sure, sometimes we may get something for nothing in this life, but those things don't last.  True success requires old fashioned effort.

The third installment of the Trilogy w/Pete.

“All you need are these: certainty of judgment in the present moment; action for the common good in the present moment; and an attitude of gratitude in the present moment for anything that comes your way.”
