Why Do I Work So Much?

, ,

Is this passion or obsession – sometimes I wonder…. I’m at a point in my life where I should be slowing down, taking it easy, sipping margaritas, watching sunsets, and living my dream life. Quick rewind – I’ve already done that (sailing around the world for 6 years). I work a lot. Every day, seven days a week, the first thing I do is go to my desk, sit down, and either write, answer emails, study in a class, or do something work/office related. The other day, I sat down to ask why? Sure, I would like the income, but since the event industry has dried up like the Sahara Desert, […]

The Beauty and Burden of Independence

,

What does Independence Day mean to you? On a national scale it represents the birth of a nation. However, after 236 years, it’s difficult to relate to desiring independence from the British. After all, they are now our best friends and ally, and none of us remember ever being enemies with the Brits. I mean really, who could be angry with the Queen? And where would we be without tea and scones, gin and tonic, or the original Mini Cooper? Not to mention their keen sense of humor and dry wit. Perhaps Independence Day has a more personal meaning to you. From whom or what have you gained your independence? Maybe […]

BABY BOOMERS REJECT AND REDEFINE RETIREMENT

, , ,

Today’s Retirement Situation—The Hard Truth A majority of those approaching retirement have not thought about what happens after their career comes to an end because the idea of losing one’s identity is frightening. Many of life’s big transitions are scripted for us and follow an established progression from one stage to the next. In school, we progressed from kindergarten to elementary, from middle to high school and the next step for some was college. In the corporate world, you climb the ladder from supervisor to manager, director, VP, President, and then the C-suite. If you’re in the military, you rise through the ranks in proper order. But now that you are […]

Are You Anchored?

, ,

Proper anchoring is not just for boats — it’s for your life. Sailing around the world teaches you to have faith in your anchor. Sometimes it was nerve-wracking as to whether or not the anchor would hold, but after learning proper techniques, we knew we could trust the anchor to hold us through the worst of conditions. Having anchors in your life is important. The potential metaphors are endless. My personal life anchors are mental convictions I can always count on. I confess they don’t hold 100% of the time, but they guide me and keep me from drifting. By sharing my life anchors, I hope to inspire you to establish […]

Take Funny Things Seriously!

,

A serious blog about funny things… As you go about your day, your senses are bombarded with things such as wacky billboards, terribly named products, or oddly painted cars. You see events such as people engaging with each other, and you see actions such as a driver with road rage or an elderly person being helped across the street. We see lots of good and bad every day. We often notice these things, events, or actions and tell others: “Marge, I saw the strangest thing today…” But do you notice the funny things, events, or actions? What did you see today that was funny? From giving you a little chuckle, an […]
