Marker
What sort of nuggets are we leaving behind? How will people know we made our dent?
Sometimes, the trail develops on its own. But, it might be helpful to reflect upon it now and then.
On Air
If we could just say what’s on our mind. If we could just express our opinions. If we could just react openly. Of course we can. These days, we all have a microphone. What a wonderful gift.
But just because we can, doesn’t mean we should. Choose what to say, when to say and most importantly how to say wisely.
Welcome
There’s little else which speaks more “welcome in” than a comfortable front porch. Pervasive in the American culture, they’re found in just about every small town. And usually, the people inside are just as happy to see you as the swing.
How can we add some more front porch like touches to our lives? Welcome is far more than a word. And, it begins with a posture.
On Stage
All the world’s a stage. But, what really matters is what we do when no one is looking.
Character counts…a lot.
Future
There’s nothing wrong with looking forward, imagining what the future might be like. In many ways, our dreams about what could happen fuel the present. Of course, the most important step to live into the possibility, to actually make a version of it come true, is to act. No better time to get started than the present.
Humor
Adding some whimsy to a message changes the conversation. It leaves the reader with a gift beyond the underlying intention.
Brightening the tone is almost always a better strategy than the contrary.
Underdog
There’s nothing wrong with being picked not to win…especially when we do.
Too often we’re worried about being the frontrunner, getting all of the attention and support. Perhaps it’s better to hang back a bit and see what we can do despite the odds against us.
