Entrepreneurs need to stop fighting for scraps and go for the buffet.
Hi there, Gang, long time, no post, I know. I was so inspired by this line that I had to write something about it. The title of the post comes from an email I got for Skyrocketing Your Sales, by Moira Ni Ghallachoir. She is from Ireland which, of course, makes her interviews that much […]
Continue readingWords, Have, Impact
Think Before You Speak Why is it that some people don’t understand what impact their words have on others? I can remember, as a child, being told, “think before you speak.” Or, “if you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say anything at all.” I was quiet after that. Ha! Just kidding, I wasn’t. […]

Does any other blind person out there think High Fives are awkward? Given the rather intense nature of the previous post, I figured I’d lighten the mood and describe something that happened the other evening which was very hilarious. I am, and always have been, an affectionate individual. I give hugs more than I do […]

Losing faith. Faith. The word immediately evokes a different thing to every person who hears it. To the devout Catholic, it may evoke the image of Christ. The Jew may see the Torah, the Buddhist may see a vision of Nirvana. Or, faith might not be religious at all. After all, does an atheist have […]

Hi gang, here’s some wisdom I’m putting out into the world because … uh, well, it needs to be put out there because I know everyone reading this can relate. I was having a […]
Continue readingThings I learned from my second Zoom call
Hi there gang, it’s been a bit since I posted here. But I figured I’d share some things i learned from this last Zoom call that I had yesterday. The topic of the call was what I’m calling Mental Blindness. It’s a metaphor for how much confidence we have in an ability that we may, […]

Disability and Dis-Ability
The Basic Idea According to this Census data, one in five Americans have a disability. I would like to disagree with that statistic. I think that 100 percent of people have Dis-Abilities. I have hyphenated the word Disability. This is because the word literally means, Not Ability. In my case, and in the case of […]

Back so very long ago when I was in high school, I used to participate in the Cherry Creek Schools Diversity Conference. This was an annual event held at my high school, Cherry Creek High School. It started out with something like 15 schools in attendance and has since grown to over 100 schools. It […]

We all hate that moment in high school when the essay that we worked so hard on comes back to us with red marks all over the page, and a big note that says, “revise” written where there’s no mistaking it. Well, my book came back the other day from the first round of editing. […]
