One of the things I love most about reading is there’s always a chance I will have an epiphany or maybe even a more run-of-the-mill moment of clarity. It’s part of the adventure of reading a book, magazine, blog,cereal box or one of those uber-cool ancient scrolls from ages long past. Not that I stumble [...]

Unconditional Confidence
Jan 24
Authentic. The genuine article. The real McCoy. The real deal like Holyfield. The notion of “To thine own self, be true” is one that’s resonated with people for a very long time. Like, easily longer than The Simpsons has been on TV. For real… THAT long. Despite the seeming impossibility, it’s true. I am fortunate [...]
Proactive Simplicity

Ethics goes to more than just what the law requires (although it certainly encompasses that) and goes to the seemingly nebulous idea of “what is right”. My full-time [...]

The company for which I work frames several of its most important core values in its Code of Ethics.
