Sometimes our resolve is only as good as the reward we perceive there to be at the end. Sometimes that reward comes at a great cost. I believe there are times each year when we need to stop and reflect on our resolve. It is often during this time that I think about my resolve and the sacrifices that have been made not only in forming this great nation but also in securing its future of this nation I think of the...

Integrity has been on my mind lately as I have watched those around me deal with others who find it so easy to set their integrity aside. Even more interesting, when I started looking for quotes on integrity I had a good laugh at some of the people who have quotes about the subject. If you need some good entertainment do a search on brainy quotes for integrity. Integrity Reveals your Character That’s the thing, your integrity, or the lack...

I graduate on Friday. I can’t believe I am finally getting to say that. This day is 27 years in the making. I never gave up; I just had to wait for the timing to be right. I’m still waiting for grades to come in for the final two classes I took this semester, but I have high hopes of graduating with a 4.0 at UNT. Combined with my earlier college courses I am graduating Magna Cum Laude. I just...

The love of baseball is real with this girl. My team is doing fairly well. They are leading the West and 5th in the American League and 10th overall (at the time of this writing). Right now they are being consistent. Their hitting and fielding are where it is at. Their pitching, well, I like the Texas Rangers, what can I say. Sure I would like to see them with a few more wins under their belt, but for now, I am happy with their...

Earlier in April I was listening to my IRL friend Heather on a webinar. That’s right, I was multitasking (probably Pinterest) so I was listening instead of watching. Anyway, something she said was an “ah ha” moment and so I knew it would be perfect for a Motivation Monday post. I started texting her as soon as it was over letting her know ho much I enjoyed it and asked if I could use her purpose quote and if she...

I think weekends are a great opportunity to catch your breath from projects, spend time with family and friends, and just kick back and have some fun. It is also a great time for reflection, not only on how your week went, but also a chance to think about what you should do differently moving forward. The weekend is also a great opportunity to grab a cup of java and catch up on some reading. If you are at home...

I’m writing over at Compared to Who? again this month. In this post, I discuss how counter-productive it is to make comparisons. Making Comparisons is Counter-Productive So much time is wasted when we sit around making comparisons. We all have so many things we could be doing instead. Find out what I learned about making comparisons from C.S. Lewis and how it rocked my world. It is time to move away from being counter-productive and focus on being productive so we...

Perhaps you have already heard about a little Broadway phenomenon known as Hamilton? If not, you should check out the soundtrack. I am not big into hip-hop or r&b but this soundtrack, just WOW! The first time you listen to it you focus on how great the music is and then as you go back and listen to it over and over and listen to the stories. It is so well written and composed, but make no mistake, the success of...
