Christmas evening 2012, 9:44pm…

Cheryl and Chapin in bed, and as I was readying myself for day’s end, the gentle tug of integrity.

You have five daily, differently-themed blogs to write, I heard my conscious whisper.

Do what you say you’re gonna do.

You’re good with yourself, right?

No one would know if we didn’t. Classic temptation. Right?

The one unsolicited phone call I still thank God for?

balance
life is one great big balancing act

 

The one unsolicited phone call I still thank God for? The one in which the caller wanted to schedule a meeting with the then Director of a world class teaching organization. Fall, 1998.

Who? What? Why? A meeting with Steve Heise? “I have no idea what you’re talking about”, I told the caller.

Funny how an unsolicited call, in the middle of a crazy-busy day can alter your life’s course. Funny in a good way.

Many hated the voting experience and here’s why

vote by mail
the 2012 Presidential election voting experience

 

Today is November 1, 2012… five more days. My voting has been done for three days… by mail. Why wouldn’t every busy person vote by mail?

Many hated the 2012 voting experience and here’s why. Because of the time involved to do it, lines, hassles, confusion, ads, negativity.

Voting by mail and limiting TV watching. No brainers. Our spirit is strengthened when we also strengthen our personal organization and priorities.

Before we start sizing up others, perhaps it’s best to take what we see in others and ask ourselves, “Is what is so obviously missing from their lives as easy for them to spot in mine?”

Cool, you’re 3 for 3, in just over one minute. Most of us are headed to work soon. The next post reveals a blinding flash of the obvious about where to do our best work.
