This I learned today… I am most gratified when I’m helping make other people a star, when I’m shown appreciation, and when I’m affirmed with genuine praise or affection. I confirmed that about myself. Does it help to know your “love language”? I think so. It help you understand why another person frustrates you orContinue reading “Things I Learned Today / Saturday, July 25, 2021”

Things I learned today… It’s so important to walk the walk. Not everybody does. Y’all, if you say one thing and do another (even if you think nobody’s looking!), you lose credibility. I guess you can look at that two ways. You either keep talking big, and do whatever you need to do to tryContinue reading “Things I Learned Today / Friday, July 30, 2021”

Things I learned today… Guys, I think it’s important to stop and think about the fact that we only get so much time. We only get so many days. We CHOOSE how to spend our time, and it should always be spent as wisely as possible. We also CHOOSE whether or not to support andContinue reading “Things I Learned Today / Thursday, July 29, 2021”

Things I learned today… It would have been easier to go to bed than stay up and write my TILT, but as long as I can help it, I don’t want to miss writing one. I learned today that you MUST be a student through life. If you aren’t listening, willing to share your authenticityContinue reading “Things I Learned Today / Wednesday, July 28, 2021”

Things I learned today… I was reminded today that when you put a bunch of smart people from the same industry who aren’t afraid to share their knowledge, experience, and wisdom in the same room, it’s pretty magical. All the Craps tables were $25 tables tonight, which is a little rich for my blood. TheyContinue reading “Things I Learned Today / Tuesday, July 27, 2021”

Things I learned today… Today would have been my grandmother’s 92nd birthday. I’m not sure we realize the impact on our lives, our families’ lives, and the lives of others – I mean, fully realize the impact – when we choose a job. Do you stop to think about this ever? I think back, andContinue reading “Things I Learned Today / Monday, July 26, 2021”

Things I learned today… Travel by plane is not my favorite form of transportation, but today’s trip from Memphis to Atlanta to Connecticut was uneventful and smooth. That’s all I can hope for in a long trip. I am grateful. Being without Keith on a trip is weird and not my preference. When people “joke”Continue reading “Things I Learned Today / Sunday, July 25, 2021”

Things I learned today… My children do their own laundry, but apparently many moons have passed since they have. The quest to scale the mountain of laundry was much akin to the effort made by Sir Edmund Hillary when he was the first to reach the summit of Everest in 1953. About 9 years ago,Continue reading “Things I Learned Today / Saturday, July 24, 2021”

Things I learned today… Who knew that a post about avocado toast would get so much interaction?! I actually do like avocado, for the record. I took a new book to the coffee shop to read this morning, but I was so amused by everything going on around me, I didn’t get to it. TheseContinue reading “Things I Learned Today / Friday, July 23, 2021”
