While traveling through an airport a few months ago, I stumbled across “The Little BIG Things” by Tom Peters. I love reading but often times I end up listening to audio, instead of actually picking up a book, so I can multi-task. However, when I fly I always read a book or two. It’s a little treat and something I look forward to each time I travel. I had actually never read a Tom Peters book before (sad, but true – he’s been writing since ...

A Lesson On Humility

A Lesson On Humility

Hooray for 2017! I thought you’d never come! 2016 was kinda crappy. I know, I know… how can I even begin to complain when I have so many blessings in my life? But, let me preface this blog post: I am not complaining. I was and I did, a lot. But this blog is about the journey, not just “the lesson”, and this one happens to be a little bumpy. So here goes. Towards the beginning of 2016 I found myself in a rut. Physically I was the ...
