It's not only what we say but how we say it. It's not only what we do but how we do it. There can be a credibility gap between intent and execution. Many an unanticipated misstep can be made between thought and action. Misunderstanding can result in division and misery. Words and actions can be … Continue reading Think. Say. Do. →

It's rare that we can draw any satisfaction from being wrong. Error generally equates to failure. We prefer to be right. It can sometimes be character building to be proven wrong. More likely though that it can be soul destroying. We all make mistakes...a miss call, a miss calculation, a miss step...all can lead to … Continue reading Blues Clues Confuse →
