Who’s The Boss

2012/09/05 Gayle 2

I am not sure why I continue to be amazed that life lessons come along when I need to hear them. My suspicion is that the lessons are always available; I just notice them when I am ready to learn. I have experienced one of those times this week! I received this message from an email list I subscribe to: “Your goals should also be designed to create rewards that are most important to you, not to someone else“ In and of it’s self this is a nice quote without far reaching ramifications for me. However, for weeks Jenn and I have been enmeshed in discussions about life, business, and how we are proceeding with each. It’s no surprise to anyone that it is hard The rest of the story

FEAR – The Final Frontier

2012/08/24 Gayle 0

My dog Wrigley is a very fearful guy. His fear manifests it’s self in many ways – the most amusing is his fear of jumping on the bed. Wrigley is tall and can easily rest his head on the bed and with most beds he could just step up and be there. However he lives in fear of hopping on the bed. We have cajoled, and offered cookies. We have begged and yelled. Yet, the result remains the same – the fear negates any efforts. I know what you’re thinking – what’s amusing about a 80lbs dog trembling in fear? The amusing part is that once a human touches him somewhere about the neck and shoulders he leaps victoriously on the bed and proceeds to The rest of the story

You Have More Time than You Think

2012/08/13 Gayle 2

I want to write today about time management. Mostly because I suck at it! I spin my wheels; I spend my day daydreaming and pontificating and then complain that ‘I JUST DON’T HAVE ENOUGH TIME’! This morning, I decided I needed real world solutions to my real world problem. Let me begin by saying, I like to think I know a lot about time management (I also believe that about exercise and diet) and I just don’t put what I know into practice. However, you and I both know that a guy who knew how to cure cancer but never shared it would just be some unknown smuck. An expert that can not put the knowledge to practical use isn’t really an expert (maybe that’s The rest of the story

Are you Stuck?

2012/08/09 Gayle 0

I’m feeling stuck. I feel stuck in my writing. I feel stuck in my life. I just feel stuck. I am frustrated with how to break my current cycle of being stuck and I although intellectually I think I have a good idea of how to get unstuck. I seem so mired in the minutia that I am unable to propel myself in to any action. So today I thought I’d share with you my top five ways to get unstuck (take it from me, they’re not easy – but they work): 1) Tell the Truth! Yep, the truth, the WHOLE truth and nothing but the truth; to yourself, to your family, to your friends – The rest of the story

Let’s Face It: Change is Hard

2012/07/13 Gayle 0

I like consistency. Maybe that makes me boring. Maybe it means I am old and set in my ways (you know how old dogs are with new tricks). However, it seems as if the universe has decided I need changes in my life. It started with little things…like, my cereal that I eat every morning has become virtually impossible to find. While not having my preferred breakfast isn’t the end of the world, it does change my pattern of behavior. Last Tuesday afternoon, a thunder storm passed through. I was excited because I had just come off of a long and emotional weekend. I saw the storm as an excuse to shut off my computer and nap. However, as fate would have it, the storm The rest of the story
