Seth Godin, in Small is the new big (DoYouZoom, Inc., 2006) says that benchmarking isn’t such a great idea.
As business people, we have been taught to “benchmark;” that is, to set a goal and keep checking ourselves against that goal. Even in our personal lives, we “benchmark” when we set […]
This year my husband and I joined other family members in a membership to a local community garden. This was probably a bad year to start, because the weather in Cedar Rapids, Iowa has been awful, first with the floods and then no rain for about a month. But it has been fun to get […]
My favorite Twilight Zone episode is one with Burgess Meredith titled “Time Enough at Last,” in which he plays a henpecked husband who just wants to find time to read. Remember it?

Our U.S. flag. It’s been around a long time, and it has seen a lot of war and destruction, a lot of happiness and grief. It’s not Flag Day, but the flag is what I think of on the 4th of July.
Here is a great […]

Baby Boomers: July is a great time to take stock of your personal and business life. Although it is not the traditional time to do this, it’s perfect as a mid-year stock-taking and possible course correction.
Being a “words” person, I got hung up on looking for […]
