Will Polly gets a cracker? Today is the second day of being snowed in. Because of the road conditions caused by the onslaught of snow here in the Pacific Northwest, JBLM has shut down. It is a refreshing break to not have to go into work. And so, I am catching up on a few house projects, reading a few books and writing a blog. All day yesterday, I have been praying wondering what I … Continue reading

Have you ever set goals for yourself and seem to fall short in achieving them? Are you the type of person that has small goals and tasted the fruit of one or two goals accomplished?

And yet, how many … Continue reading

This last few weeks, I have the privileged in being enrolled in the Master’s Resiliency Trainer certification course.
