Meaningful Professional Relationships

 For my friends who use LinkedIn, a thought. It doesn't always take a cool photo or a long post. Sometimes it's just about showing up.

Epic Jose saying:
Consistency leads to familiarity
Familiarity leads to credibility
Credibility leads to trust
Trust leads to meaningful professional relationships

If you're not ready to post your own stuff yet, show up in others' posts and comment.

"But what do I talk about? I have nothing important to say."

You're an expert at being you. Maybe you're going through a life transition, or wanting to grow your network in an industry, or are an expert in a particular field wanting to share your knowledge. All of those things make for great posts.

They can lead to meaningful professional relationships.

And meaningful professional relationships lead to "where the magic happens."

The Hereafter

The last 30 days have been a little difficult for my circle of friends. As life goes on unpredictable as always, my circle of friends have seemingly lost more friends, coworkers, and family members than I remember in recent memory and it has me thinking. A friend of mine posted a recent article by renowned physicist Stephen Hawking balking at the idea of a hereafter as a fairy tale for those afraid of the dark. Please know this blog is not about telling you what to believe. As I read the comments folks left about the article, it dawned on me that regardless of what each of us thinks, one thing is certain; every one of is going to find out the answer to the question of whether a hereafter exists or not.; every single one of us. If nothing exists, well then we won't have a whole lot of pondering to do on the idea since we won't be in a hereafter to ponder or do anything else. But if it does, there might be some "explaining" to do. I don't know what will happen wh

Sorry About That, Mom

Mom,   From where you sit today, perched above the heavens, chances are you already know the things I did which weren't the "best" as a child. So I'd just like to publicly apologize on this special day when I honor you, my beautiful mother, and all mothers out there. Here's a list, not a complete list because the years have been long and the brain cells don't work as well as they once did. But here's my confession: 1. I didn't mean to, but I sat on the parakeet. I let him out to play with him when you weren't home and he got lost. I sat down to think about where he could be and low-and-behold, I found him, squished under me. I put him back in the cage and hoped you'd think he died a natural death. 2. Remember when the power went out in the house and right before it you heard a loud explosion coming from my bedroom? Science experiment to gain superpowers gone wrong. 3. That toilet that overflowed into the hallway, well the truth is it wasn

Season of Learning

Well the summer's officially over. Tomorrow the last of America's students go back to school, mine included. Its been a great summer but there is always something uplifting about this time of year for me. Maybe its that I somehow live vicariously through my kids and can remember the butterflies in my stomach at the thought of walking through those school doors for another year of adventure. Although to them, the butterflies are more about how good they'll look and if the chics will dig em (which is probably what I was thinking at their age). I might be dating myself by the very comment I just made. Haha. Hey, what can I say, I've been cool, hot, fresh, and ill, and at various times of my life, those were proud monikers. With the new school year, I as a parent know that past the social dynamics of high school and middle school, my sons are in for a year of learning and that to me is really cool. I've been a lifelong learner as an adult. As a high school student, I
