Olivia on our way to school. That's my little teacher back there guiding me through life!

Today, I had the pleasure of taking my daughter Olivia to school like I do each morning. Even sitting here writing this makes me smile and so happy that I have such a wonderful gift that God has given me like her. I was on my way to drop her off to school and I was on the phone working and when I hung up, Olivia pipped up with some advice for work.

She proceeded to explain a better way for me to of handled that situation. She basically taught me how to listen better and to work with people and guys that work and help me better. I was so struck when she was talking to me. She was so clear and very tender and extremely helpful. I stopped and thanked God that he gave me this little girl that is tender enough to love people greater than I obviously knew how to. 

To add to this story, I can’t leave out the fact that she insisted on me calling the person back that I was on the phone with and to apologize and to talk in a nicer manner to them. She said, they will listen better and do the work with a better attitude because they want to. Not because they are forced to. I was floored!!!!!

Thank you Olivia for teaching Daddy this morning. You mean more to me than I can ever express!

You’re worth it! Trust Me!

Life is filled with all kinds of twisties and turns and ups and downs. We all love the ups and want to stay on them as long as possible. But without the downs, you can’t really appreciate the ups when you receive them. I came across this thought a couple of weeks ago and it seems fitting right now.

“When there are ten buyers and only three puppies, every dog is the pick of the litter!! There’s only one YOU… People need what YOU have… Put your unique qualities on display… People will pay you for it… People will honor you for it…”

There is a lot of wisdom in this. Do yourself and everyone around you. Work hard, be honest and do what you say you’re going to do. On top of that - respect others. Respect yourself by doing the above. In this new year I want to take better care of my body, mind and soul. I believe this will truly help me in all aspects of life…. Hey, who doesn’t want to be a pick of the litter?!

Have a great day,

The fresh start!

Well, with all new beginnings we have new starts. The 2009 year is here and we officially enter the 2009 workweek here tomorrow. I am ready to get going, but like all Sunday afternoons - I am already starting to get knots in my stomach. 

I am working to get past that though this year. I want to have a better control over it and not to make it a big burden on me like it has been over the years. I am going to try something new tomorrow morning. I am going to get up another 30 or 1 hour earlier tomorrow - to just take time and prepare myself mentally, physically and spiritually. I believe that is going to help make a huge difference.

To all of you out there that are going into the new 2009 work week tomorrow - enjoy it! Have fun and expect nothing less than a wonderful week and year.

Never Give Up!

It’s easy to get stuck in a rut… Even to get complacent. Just remember this - Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going. 

Have a great Friday and weekend. Take sometime this weekend to see what motivation and drive you can work to turn into a habit!

Seriously, I have to say one of the best additions to our team at Theory is Corey Mullane. He is dedicated, smart and filled with the craziest stories. 

More on that later.

Right now, I just want to share with you a picture of my friend! Big Bad Corey!
