I like to think of myself as a very positive person, however I have a very bad habit that I have recently discovered as pointed out by my wife. Apparently, I have a regular tendency to convey my negative displeasure toward a situation, item or nature of the environment in the present. Simply put: I bitch a lot. Since my wife so delicately pointed this out to me several months ago, I have been ca... Read More »
Thank you, Jimmy, for being so entertaining! If you’re a night owl and can stay up to watch The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on a regular basis, then you’ve been exposed to his very funny Thank you Notes segment that he routinely does on Friday nights. If your bedtime doesn’t typically make it past double digit numbers on the clock, you’re in luck because WIRL Project is going to star... Read More »
The “B” word. No, not that one. The one that makes you or your spouse or maybe both of you cringe. The one that parents use in ways that make their kids learn to hate it. BUDGET. Yes, I know. You think you are doing fine, or you don’t want to feel deprived. You should give it a “wirl” and see how it really goes. I’ve tried making and sticking to a budget over 15 times in the last five years. I alw... Read More »

Mostly this is done when I see an awesome idea on one of our Thirty-One Director or Consultant groups and I want to share the ideas with my team. It can take for-ev-er (did anyone else just have a “Sand... Read More »

The last few weeks have been very difficult.. my mama’s boy, my baby dog, my shadow, my lil’ Butchie has crossed the Rainbow Bridge. The day before Easter of 2014 he had an episode, not quite a seizure but more serious than his typical dramatic exhausted collapse, you see Butchie was my drama queen/little clown. Of course, we were out of town on vacation and he seemed to bounce right... Read More »
I don’t know why, but ever since college I can only write with pens and not pencils. This wouldn’t be a huge issue if I didn’t have internal freak outs every time I notice that something that I wrote is off centered, doesn’t fit in the space I had, or I misspelled something. Even when I’m making notes for myself, for some reason it’s very important to me ... Read More »
If you can, think back to your younger years, maybe when you were grade school age, or even younger if you can. What were you like? Did you have fears and worries and doubts or anxiety?? Kids can be cruel. Let’s face it, adults can be cruel too. The world isn’t by any means a perfect place, it’s far from it. But as a parent, you want to try to instill good morals and selflessness...
