Right now, my husband is on a six-week journey. This past Monday, he had surgery for his rotator cuff muscle. We are just completing week one. Naturally, I have a few thoughts …… When we get married, we sign up for the usual ‘for better or worse.’ And rarely do we give thought to what
Next week, I will finally open the doors to the 5Cs Community and invite the first 100 founding members!!!!! Yes, I am excited. Strangely enough, I have no terror or fear. Not of losing the sizeable investment in funds and time I have put into it. Nor am I fussing about whether this is the
I want to lean into something very personal today because it is a message that too many of us are forgetting. And increasingly, too late is really TOO LATE. Last week, my husband’s favourite uncle passed away. Lorne was 93, had been married to the love of his life for a few months shy of
Many years ago, I was fired from a ‘spend some time here, then make your own position and make us better’ kind of company. I lasted not even a full five days.

Let’s talk about doing good, giving back. First, have you ever acted before thinking? I mean, jumping off the cliff without even thinking about how high that cliff is? Of course! We all have, haven’t we? I want to share two stories of my latest – falling off the cliff. There is a guy out
Time management is a real thing, isn’t it? I bet you have been thinking a lot about this COVID thing. Me too. I’ve been mulling over the pros and cons of the whole crisis and as is my inclination, trying to concentrate on the best parts. Family, relationships, what’s really important, finding and filling the
Have you had a good old-fashioned belly laugh lately? If not, it is time you definitely find one. I don’t want to talk about business today. Or show you some different ideas to think about. Or even highlight solutions to the problems we all read or watch daily. Today, I want to encourage you to
Pivot. Pivoting. I don’t know about you, but I am bone tired of hearing and reading these two words. Everyone says they are doing it. But what the hell does it mean? Professor Google’s explanation of pivoting is “to turn or rotate, like a hinge.” No human being I know (except maybe a basketball player)
