Blog postTo call someone a wackadoodle isn’t necessarily an insult. Actually, not everyone can sport that title in an endearing way.
Some of my best friends are true wackadoodles.
It gives me great pleasure spending time with fantastically entertaining and down to earth people. They are a bit goofy and don’t feel constrained to act a certain way.
Wackadoodle’s can be found in all shapes and sizes, genders, and professions. However, don’t confuse wackadoodle with “wackjob -
Blog postFrequently I meet people who want to be out there public speaking at events and keynote seminars. When I ask them what they would speak about some say a personal story, others aren’t sure, most think it’s glamourous. Isn’t public speaking supposed to be glamorous?
The morning of my last presentation was challenging. It was difficult getting out of bed because somehow, I managed to hurt my back during the night. No, it was not a cowboy. I crawled out of bed thinking how in the world w -
Blog postChristmas is a birthday party. Just the other night I found myself staring at my pathetic Christmas tree. It’s about three feet tall and unusually skinny. It does, however, have flocked branches and attached white lights for a holiday effect. My living room is small and (I know) over decorated, so I thought a modest tree would be best. Because my sad tree is short, I placed it on top of an accent table. Now the tree looks like it has lost its lower half.
My little rug rats are all gr -
Blog postHow to prepare for a speaking presentation is a matter of opinion. Since everyone has their own way of doing things, there is no right or wrong way to prepare (in my opinion).
Today’s blog is about preparing for a speaking presentation and rehearsing your message. (Caution, this could be either painful or completely hysterical.) I like to practice in my bedroom. (That sounds strange, doesn’t it?) My bohemian jewelry chest from Pier One Imports makes a perfect pretend lectern. It’s mir -
Blog postMotivation and Inspiration, is there a difference? Motivational Speaker or an Inspirational Speaker? Let’s pretend, you (yes, you) are at a stoplight and the it switches to green and the driver in front of you doesn’t respond. “OMG, are you kidding me? C’mon go! What are you waiting for, an invitation?” Does this sound familiar? Could it be you?
Now let’s imagine the same scenario; the light changes to green, the driver still doesn’t respond, however you react differently. “I wonder -
Blog postMost people fear public speaking; I do too. Why? Standing on a stage in front of 130 women in federal prison will challenge anyone. Public speaking in public is one thing, but in federal prison while serving time? My heart would race and thump, and all I could think of was how silly I must have sounded.
Upon leaving the chapel one morning, another inmate thanked me for speaking. I said, “Are you kidding me? I love it when I leave the stage!” She was an encourager, someone I did -
Blog postTo enjoy or be in-joy, that is the question. Enjoy the weekend, activity, dinner, event…whatever it is, enjoy! Take delight, take pleasure, blah, blah, blah. I get sick of people telling me to enjoy everything.
I don’t enjoy going to the dentist, or the gas station and shoot me now, when I go to the DMV.
Enjoy, is that a command or demand? Do you pretend to enjoy? Ever want to scream at passive aggressive people? How about when Uncle Joe enjoys a case of beer before, during a -
Blog postStuffing a marshmallow in a parking meter is like saying: whatever you do, it’s just not working. I posted this little fav of mine the other day and got a few laughs and thumbs up of understanding. However, the rest of the week has not been too much different. How about yours?
As I diligently continued to practice my presentation for the upcoming 2018 North Carolina Real Estate Expo & Convention, I also kept a watch on Hurricane Florence. Why? Because the event was scheduled at th -
Blog postOrange and I met over a government-issued nightgown. It was nothing like a black dress. The ginormous tent-like orange nightgown was one of the first pieces of clothing thrown at me. I kept it securely in my locker, thinking it was special. Orange, really? Was this because women escaped at night in their nightgown?
Why don’t more people wear it? My first speaking presentation was for an audience of top real-estate professionals from across the country. Wearing an orange dress and nude -
Blog postHow do you want to look back on your life? Clinical psychologist Viktor Frankl’s primary conviction was that human drive is not about pleasure but the pursuit of what we find meaningful. This is the part where you pause and say, “Hmmm.”
Today’s conversation with myself was most enlightening. During my dedicated toothbrushing time, I asked myself, Myself, are you happy with the way you are living your life? My answer surprised me.
No, not really. You are a creature of habit and
