As I am sipping my really good cup of Ethiopian Arabica, medium roast, coffee this morning, I’ve been considering something I heard a young representative say as she was recording a presentation for one of the social networks on “green” and “racist” vegetables. Admitted
I’ve learned That I can’t change myself Unless I accept who I am, and am willing to hear the Truth about myself*1 As I sip my coffee and bite into my coffee-companion bread, I remember how much I knew I knew as a ‘smart’ young adult! Today, I’m reminded about m
A few days ago, while enjoying a great cup of coffee, and viewing news clips on “current” events, I recognized a common theme among some news sites, and felt they needed addressing. Our constitution, and some of the founding fathers of this nation and framers of our constitution were com
“I’ve learned That truth is pure, it can come From an evil person or a good person Just don’t get the people confused.” ***Skeete*** During my coffee break this morning I’ve been thinking about the Presidency, and the race between the parties to gain the position at the
Although I have approximately 28 years of military service, my career spanned almost 40 years. As I sit, enjoying my coffee, thinking about it, I can ‘see‘ the tremendous changes our military services have progressed through. When I joined the Marines during the Vietnam era
“I’ve learned- That regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at first, the passion fades and there had better be something else to take its place.” *** Skeete *** I’m sitting and drinking an excellent (Robusta) Coffee, this morning and thinking about the past 33+
I lost my Dad, father-in Law, a wonderful brother-in Law, and several close friends… all while I was deployed, fighting… in foreign lands, for “Home and Country”. I’ve been sitting here drinking my coffee, reminiscing… thinking and remembering… This is a simple “Remembrance” fo
I've learned that...staying away from trouble is far better than Praying when I get into trouble*Skeete* So… I’m sitting in my ‘Coffee Nook’ this morning, chatting it up, with my “Barista” son, who is ‘laid off’ because of the virus. As I was sitting and enjoying coffee, while he was
I’ve learned That a good sense of humor makes Life one hell of a lot easier -Skeete- While sitting, drinking my coffee, and thinking about a special anniversary gift for my ‘BGFF’ I’ve been reminiscing… Years ago, my new wife and I were downtown window shopping, when she stopped and commen
I have a long time acquaintance, an old friend I haven’t seen in a few years… Recently I found out that he works for a large company, in engineering, and is involved in Root Cause Analysis, or RCA. Basically, I think, RCA helps us to address a problem; its purpose is to help us find […]
I enjoy focusing on helping people do better at what they are doing. I like the challenge of addressing tough questions and situations we can sometimes find ourselves in, and my military buddies enjoyed my dry sense of humor in poking fun at myself when in rough situations. A General once asked me why I didn't seek the "Limelight" when speaking with me about highly successful projects I had spearheaded and implemented. My answer: "I'm more interested in making my projects a successful endeavor; If others jump in and steal credit for my work, that's ok! Why? Well, first I usually can’t do anything about it, and if it does happen, then I work very hard at making sure they can’t let it go. If I can do that, then I have done what I set out to do and more! – After all, once they have it, they have to keep working it, because I’m moving on” Leaders don't need to have a spotlight on them to be great... Inspiring others is a really...GOOD ... accomplishment, too!
