Veterans Day 2011
I come from a family where service was part of my upbringing. We've had a member of our family tree serve in every War since the American Revolution.
I spent 4 years in the Air Force and 10 with the Department of Defense in an early part of my life and benefit from the lessons learned every day.
I take this day to reflect on "Why" I get to do what I get to do.
And then I spend much of the day in appreciation, just being…

Those who know me know that I'm a big fan of Ben Franklin - I'd "Like"

Whether you are going through grief and trying to get through another day. Or you are stuggling with an addiction. Even going through any type of relationship conflict.

Stress and You
This means that your body will eventually succumb to illness and possible life threatening dis-ease.
Your body is sending you signals all the time to let you know of impending trouble.
One of the biggest signals is low energy.
A drop in energy of ANY size does not just mean you are tired. It is a sign of trouble within the body.
Most of the time we ignore these signs, go about our business, and then wonder "why me' when something does… Continue

The Golden (Platinum) Rule = The Social Networking Rule

Don't make a "Goal" instead make a "Promise"
I try to pull out my “Goal Plan” (a sheet of paper I wrote them on) to see where I am on their achievement on a regular basis.
I end up 'hitting' some and not others.
I started to give this more thought and study this month in anticipation of the New Year (Resolution). I came across a Bill Bateman video… Continue

Surviving the Medical System - by Martin Brossman
UPDATED: When my father ( Martin Brossman II ) suffered two heart attacks and repeated hospital visits in the space of two years, I quickly gained a good deal of insight into the nuances of interacting with the medical system. This, combined with years of volunteering at Duke Hospital where I received the Governor’s Volunteer of the Year award, helped me to develop an approach I now call “The Colombo Process.” Colombo, the TV detective played by Peter Falk, was famous for… Continue

When you have a talk with someone at a networking event, that conversation lasts only as long as you're speaking and in the memory of the people who were listening. Conversations on the web that may passionately express a strong opinion in the moment may live for years, long after the opinion… Continue
