Deliberate Acts for Relationship Enhancement
Wouldn’t you agree that we have unnecessarily complicated relationships. Sure we overlook some simple things. But what if we could do some simple things? That alone would send many marriages to a whole new level. There really isn’t anything new under the sun. In business it may be more face to face meetings, phone calls, […]

When the new iPad came out, called the iPad Air, it had a faster chip, was lighter, thinner, and narrower. On the outside the wider bezels were narrowed because of advances in technology. The reason for the wider bezels was simply that it was too easy to unintentionally touch the edge of the screen and […]

In my last two posts I talked about the NFL Playoffs regarding your passion and personal discipline. Today let’s move to your workplace. What do the following have in common? Gossip. Criticism. Finger pointing. Lack of motivation. Chronic complaining. Answer: Poor attitude. We can spot it from a distance. We despise it in others, yet […]

For instance, in my last post I recommended a book, His Needs, Her Needs, that addressed the problem of not doing the positive things that need to be done in a marriage. In the book I am […]

It’s not unusual to talk with a couple whose marriage is failing, and realize right away that something has been missing. The sad part is, many are clueless. They have overlooked some things assuming that romantic love would somehow continue throughout their lives. Another reality is this. If we are not meeting the emotional needs […]

Recently I received a phone call from a friend out of town regarding a job opportunity. He had gone through an interview and really wanted this particular job. Following the interview, guess what? He had to wait. Waiting turned into anxiety and worrying. Now his question: All I’m doing is sitting around worrying. What do […]
