  I will not repeat it here but you can read all about it over there, including good stuff about attitude, storytelling, positive feelings, caring people, and excellent customer care.
  Make an effort to cheer up one person or make them feel special today and see [...]

  3 Ways to Contribute: September Theme(s)   Attitude, Change, Learning (7)

  This month I’m going to do something a bit out of the ordinary: I’m going to give you 3 options to get involved, 2 of which won’t be here at 100 Bloggers.
  First is one of our own, Robert Hruzek sponsoring a really cool contest about one of our past month’s themes, change:
  Here’s all you [...]

  Invisible Fencing and Coyotes   Change (2)

  then castrated silence,
  a dog barks and howls
  like it’s missing something,
  all wrapped up in this house,
  this yard,
  this invisible fence,
  and it occurs to me
  this is how they/we come,
  in pairs.
  this is a great case
  of separated at birth,
  before birth,
  before conception.
  night closes around the dog
  like a lick and seal envelope,
  and there are pairs without seams
  searching.
  and let’s say
  that there is a [...]

  Connect the Unconnected with an ON Blog!   Change (2)

  What are ON Blogs? 

  The On Blog! award was created to recognize outstanding new blogs and bloggers.  New defined as less than one year old.  Outstanding as defined by YOU.
  You remember what it was like when you first started blogging.  Links were hard to come by and readers harder still.  No doubt, many outstanding blogs have died on [...]

  The W-List: Expanded   Change (16)

  OK, so I’m not a woman, and have no W’s in my first, middle, or last names. But I do know lots of women who are just amazing bloggers, so I thought I’d take a shot at the W list, borrowed from Holly.
  If you’re not connected to these women yet, you should be, as they [...]

  NiagaraFalls: Dolores at the end of my rainbow

  Originally uploaded by shersteve

  Sometimes you don’t have to go too far to find what you are looking for.
  I made the connection with Dolores 27 years ago. Since we have been successfully married for 25, I think that is something.

  Who [...]

  Franklin: Construction Sunshine

  Originally uploaded by shersteve

  The sun chose to shine today. I was fortunate to capture these rays in that instant forever.
  This construction in downtown Franklin, MA is bringing change and choice. What business will occupy this new retail space? Will another business relocate here?
  Changes. Choices. Decisions.
  Be [...]

  The Choice is the Spark   Change, Growth, Inspiration, Success (2)

  All to often we get frustrated when we feel uninspired, get writers block, can’t decide on a college major, etc.  Sometimes it’s the simple movement of chosing something that enables us to get fired up and inspired to do other things.  Yes, often our choices are the wrong one and life has a way of [...]

  Death, Taxes, and Change   Attitude, Change (2)

  When people talk about the inevitable, they always bring up death and taxes, but leave off change. Change is inevitable, we all agree, but how we change is a study in human nature.
  The June 2007 edition of Selling Power magazine is all about change. The word change (or changing), appears five times on the cover [...]

  Change: Success   Change, Success (3)

  Think about the words that oppose change. Rut. Stagnant. Rigidity. Fear. Those words don’t carry the illusion of fun and they certainly have nothing to do with growth or success or — horrors — adventure.

  25 Things I’ve Learned about Choices   Change (2)

  As I approach 40 years of practice as a clinical psychologist, the power, parameters and magic of choices continues to intrigue and entice me. I’ve heard people say I’m getting old. I smile to myself as I think of the limitations in their thinking. Little do they know.
  In the 1980s [...]

  Take Your Comfort Zone to the Moon   Change (1)

  In order to change, we must leave or expand our comfort zone. On July 20, 1969 Commander Neil Armstrong and Astronaut Edwin Aldrin left the earth and stood firmly on the moon.
  They left the comfort of the earth to follow their dream to the moon. On Apollo 11 they cut through [...]

  Maximizing Your Ideas as You Embrace Change   Change, Inspiration (0)

  Every concept can be turned into reality. Over the past couple of months, I have been working on what I call the IDEA matrix, a tool that allows you to maximize your ideas and embrace change. The processes outlined below interact at so many levels and the lines are not clear-cut between them. It is possible [...]

  It’s good to be a loser!   Change (1)

  I mean it. When you lose years of extra physical baggage, it feels good to be a loser. Ask me. Within a few years of finishing college and joining the workplace, my skinny frame turned plump, before becoming dangerously shapeless. Dangerous because of the health concerns it posed, not because of how weird I appeared [...]

  Nothing So Constant   Change (1)

  “There is nothing so constant as change,” some wise person once observed. She was probably looking in the mirror. We grow up, then out and finally down. I feel bad about my neck, too, Nora, but not nearly as bad as I feel about some other parts of my body. Thankfully, [...]
