Monday 5 Things…. Risen….. A spur of the moment decision to get out of the city for the weekend afforded time to not only wind down and decompress, but also the opportunity to sit around a fire pit until the…

Monday 5 Things…..Everything….. Having dinner in a quaint Italian restaurant in Vidalia, Georgia a few weeks ago, my table was across from a couple that seemed more interested in their cell phones than in each other. Putting down his phone…

Monday 5 Things…..Blind Spots….. Twice, while driving a rental car to a client meeting a few weeks ago, I almost caused an accident by not checking my blind spot. The SUV that I drive daily has a great option that…

Monday 5 Things…..Changed Perspective….. I recently acquired a drone. Well two actually. The first is somewhere off shore in the depths of the intercoastal water way near Tybee Island, but that’s a different story. The drone and its camera have…

Monday 5 Things…..Of Listing….. Lists. They can help us remember and can create calm and peace by bringing order to chaos. Interestingly, they can bring form and function to help avoid procrastination or give you the opportunity for you to…

Monday 5 Things.....It's Easy Being Green..... I spent the weekend strolling the lush green fairways of the Ritz Carlton in Amelia, cameras in hand, photographing some of the world’s rarest and most beautiful designs on four wheels. The sun was…

Monday 5 Things…..I Don’t Know….. The Pudden’s, who were likely in their 70’s at the time, lived next door when I was a precocious and curious 8-year-old. Mr. Pudden had an inordinate amount of forbearance for the then-sun- bleached white-haired,…

Monday 5 Things….Know and No….. Two simple words; two profound words of significance and definition in our lives. What do we know about ourselves and then purposefully, consciously choose to build into our lives? To what, and to whom, should…

Monday 5 Things.....Just Pause..... I once again found myself interloping whilst trying to enjoy an overpriced caffeinated cup of morning goodness. The couple was arguing – albeit relatively quietly – I’m sure, as not to upset the harried baristas. Between…

Monday 5 Things…..On Fire….. It was the moment of peace that I have been needing; craving. The sun had set, the birds had gone silent. The tide unhurriedly, yet deliberately, worked its way up the river, overflowing back into the…

Monday 5 Things…..Rebuilding Walls….. On a recent drive back from meetings in Atlanta, I was listening to a radio program about the vision and leadership of Nehemiah as he rebuilt the walls in Israel. I realized that almost 3 years…

Monday 5 Things…..Shaped….. We are full-on into a new chapter of yet another year. My melancholic mindset that happens each year around this time gets mixed with the joy and anticipation of a blank canvas for a new year. I…

Monday 5 Things…..The Dreaded “R” Word…. How good is your crystal ball as to when the next recession will hit? Mine’s quite murky. Ask ten economists when the next recession will hit. You’ll likely get twelve different answers. The media…

Monday 5 Things…..Verba MMXIX….. Well, here we are in a New Year. How many resolutions have failed so far? Yeah. My thoughts exactly, which is why I don’t make resolutions. For the past few years however, I pick five words…
