Grade 2. Mrs. Burzinski. Music class. Remember the song? There’s a hole in my bucket, dear Liza, dear Liza, There’s a hole in my bucket, dear Liza, a hole. Then fix it, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry, Then fix it, dear Henry, dear Henry, fix it. Ah yes, so many stories out of so […]
The Proverbial Bridge – Work It!
Bridges carry significant symbolism. They fill a gap, get you across an otherwise insurmountable body of water or mountain valley, get you from Point A to Point B, help you access remote locations that may not otherwise be available. Usually the daunting task of building a bridge – from conception to completion – spans several […]
“Everybody Hates Me” – Monday
I get such a kick out of people on Mondays. We’ve created a pitiful culture that hates this particular day and we’re quite happy to vocalize it. We even write songs about how horrible Mondays are.

Sponge Bob’s got it figured out, man. He soaks it all in, processes it, and then squeezes out what doesn’t work for him. He doesn’t beat around the bush, doesn’t mince words or try to be something he’s not. He’s a sponge. He knows it. He’s good with that. I ‘ve had a few conversations recently revolving around self-confidence, […]
Oh My WORD!
“Thinking is such hard work, Shandra, why think small?” Wow. That got my attention. I wanted to run a couple of ideas by this friend, and that’s the response she gave me. After a 30 minute conversation I was left wondering what had just hit me. Things I’ve dreamed about for years were now right in […]
