Early this year when I was recovering from back to back heart procedures to address some major blockages that had snuck up on me over the past few years I made up my mind that I was going to plan and execute on a garden this spring / summer. Honestly, it's something I've always enjoyed but just haven't had the energy the past few years to even … [Read more...]
Once Bitten, Twice Shy
May 6, 2019 By Leave a Comment
As I'm sure most of you that follow me on instagram, twitter, or facebook are already aware. This past weeked I got bit by a snake. If you ask my son, he's quick to tell you that it was a "dangerous brown cobra" and that he's planning on dealing w/ him later (true story, out of the blue he said that). As far as snakes go, I was pretty lucky … [Read more...]

I don't know about you, but I'm excited to put 2018 behind me and get a fresh start on 2019. I was driving through Arkansas and Mississippi this week and saw several unharvested fields of cotton and soybeans. I've also seen more ruts this season than past years, putting a lot of people behind the eight ball in preparation for 2019 planting. My … [Read more...]

Kindergarten, here we come!
August 7, 2018 By Leave a Comment
I’m sitting here eating lunch and thinking about how quickly this day has snuck up on us, we meet his kindergarten teacher tonight and he begins his educational journey. I hope he takes it seriously and acquires an appetite for learning. He has a blank slate right now, it won’t be much longer —and that’s exciting as a parent to watch. … [Read more...]

July 23, 2018 By Leave a Comment
There's an old saying that you can't teach an old dog new tricks, well that's probably true in some regards --but I haven't quite hit that point in my life yet where I can't still improve upon or become more efficient in things that I do daily. Well, chalk this up to being more efficient. I've had friends tell me about unroll.me over the years but … [Read more...]

My team and I have been doing some professional development training recently and we've had some really cool curriculum. I wouldn't say that I've learned anything that I haven't heard before, but I think I'm able to absorb a lot of the information better now for some reason. This video is an archive of an old recording by Earl Nightingale from the … [Read more...]
Eisenhower’s Quadrant for Time Management…
June 1, 2018 By Leave a Comment
I've actually seen this a handful of times in the past while attending seminars, training, etc., but I'm not sure that it's ever resonated w/ me as well as it did this past month when our company started doing some time management training through a 3rd party. The "Eisenhower Method" stems from a quote attributed to Dwight D. Eisenhower: "I have … [Read more...]
