My brother and I played together when we were young, as we were the only children in the neighborhood. Our problem was not having a lot of toys, so we created new ones. In order to do that, we had to use our imaginations – and that’s what we did! Read more…

I’m sure you’ve heard the phrase “you gotta pick your battles.” Usually, this phrase is said when giving in to someone on an issue to avoid argument or acquiescing to something you don’t really want but unfortunately can’t control. It’s used to refer to when you chose not to fight and is usually accompanied by a sigh of regret or frustration. “You can’t win ‘em all,” you might say when choosing to stay out of it. Read more…

Today’s story is one that I’ve been putting off for a while. In fact, I almost told this story last week and made a last minute change. It’s a story of one of the most frustrating, painful, and damaging things that ever happened to me during my nearly 19 year career at my previous job. Because of that, I’ve left out the names of the people in this story.
There is a lot to this story, and much more than I can share in the brief amount of time we have together today, but let me give you a little background. When I was promoted to the position of E-Commerce Director, I was given a job that didn’t previously exist. I got the job because of my knowledge of programming, store operations, and purchasing.

I was first introduced to podcasts in late 2011/early 2012. I listened to the replay of Dave Ramsey’s radio show. From there, I learned that he had the Entreleadership podcast. This led me down the road to exploring what other podcasts were out there, and I subscribed to several podcasts covering both leadership and web design. I was interested in web design podcasts because I was wanting to get into the web design and development field. Read More…

Less than two weeks later a co-worker at the office made an announcement that she had a puppy hanging out near her that needed a home. Did anyone want it? Without hesitation I spoke up and said “We do!” Wait a minute, what? Where did that come from? Well, who was I kidding? There’s a reason why I had always—and will always live with a dog in our home.Read More…
