Time to Reflect. You’re soaking in it.

April 1, 2010

In today’s information overloaded, fast paced, digital lifestyle there can be little opportunity to pause and reflect.

September 17, 2007

How often do your emotions take over and hijack your better judgment? I would say quite often for most people unless you are Spock or a tree. I have been struggling between allowing logic instead of emotion rule the day in given situations. Many times emotion will come in and take up all the air [...]

A whole ramble of thoughts

March 7, 2007

This is my first attempt at speaking the text of my blog. I am using a headset with voice dictation software. The title of whole ramble of thoughts is somewhat appropriate seeing that I am going to try to speak about many things here. First is the foray into voice dictation software.  I have used [...]
