Renaissance 2.0
My favorite type of days are those that include some tears and laughter. A rich full day will include a full range of emotions. Now I am not talking about becoming a bi-polar unstable nervous wreck, but a human being that experiences the rainbow of emotions that we are blessed with. I know it’s not…
Is it just me or does the whole idea of sleeping away one third of lives seem like a ripoff? Don’t get me wrong, no one enjoys a good night’s sleep more than I do, but I would rather spend those 7 or 8 hours awake! I know we need to sleep and rebuild our…
Every once in a long while a new music artist erupts onto the scene and blows me away. Nelly Furtado is my current favorite artist! I haven’t been so mesmerized since Madonna blew me away in 1983! I’ve loved Nelly’s music for months now, but I recently saw her music video and website and I…
I don’t want this to come off as a downer or depressing, but rather as a motivational and inspirational point. I was thinking about the meaning of life (I know, again!) and as always I try to peel back the layers to reveal the simplest truths. One thing is certain, life is short and our…
Here it is again, Monday. Hope you enjoyed your weekend as much as I did. Why do we all love the weekend so much anyway? Most likely because it usually means two days without work, which also means we can stay out real late too. I remember reading that Henry Ford was kind of responsible…
I got this today from a dear friend. I hope you enjoy it and agree with its message. It is exactly how I try to live my life every day. DANCE LIKE NO ONE IS WATCHING My brother-in-law opened the bottom drawer of my sister’s bureau and lifted out a tissue-wrapped package. “This,” he said,…
Even if you’re not a sports fan, you have got to appreciate the effort given by Allen Iverson and his teammates on the Philadelphia 76ers last night. Here is a team that just about everyone predicted would get crushed in four straight games by the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA basketball finals, but what…
Part of my job as an IT Manager is testing all new technologies as they hit the market, including BETA versions (which means clunky bug-filled not-ready-for-primetime versions). I love getting to play with all these toys. I feel like the Tom Hanks character in the movie BIG, remember that one? Anyway, the downside to this…
I went to the annual Renaissance Festival here in Georgia yesterday and as always it was a wonderful experience. There is just something special about that time period for me. I don’t know quite what it is, but I just love that era. I feel at home and all my senses enjoy it. Visually, everything…
It’s a rainy Friday morning here in Atlanta, Georgia and I am enjoying it immensely. I have my jumbo sized Dunken Donuts coffee and in my office with large windows overlooking a gorgeous view of the rain pouring down on all the greenery. I love a bright sunny day just like the next guy, but…
