The idea behind starting this blog many years ago was to express ideas on the topic of leadership in the workplace. If you have been reading the posts lately you may believe that I have gone outside that scope as I have been writing on the need to speak out and be a voice to … More Leadership
I have always been amazed at the vitriol thrown at Colin Kaepernick. I did not understand why so many people were blind to his grievance – that of police brutality. People looked at what he did and when he did it and didn’t go deeper into knowing why he did what he did – and … More Colin Kaepernick
I have often thought about what I would’ve been like if I was born 50 years earlier than I was. I was born in 1963. What if I was born in 1913? What if I was born in Georgia? Would I have the same ideals, morals, ethics, values as I do now? Or would I … More Who would I have been?
Who said he was a hero? He was a man. He was a father. He was a son. He was a brother. He was imperfect. He made mistakes. He may have broken the law. He didn’t deserve to die. 8 minutes and 46 seconds is a long time. He didn’t deserve to die.
The other day I wrote that I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t know how to respond to the news of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor and the entire system. I have figured out what I am going to do first. I say “first” because I know this will be a life-long endeavor … More I’m Learning

In the spirit of the SpaceX launch today I have gone back in my archives to November of 2014… I was on CNN.com yesterday and noticed a story about how we – we being us humans – landed a robot on a comet. Wow! How freakin exciting is that!? Just think, a spacecraft blasted off … More Make the Impossible Possible
I want to see an 8 hour debate between our presidential candidates. Wouldn’t that be something? Let me explain. I have always been a little frustrated as I watch candidates debate. There just isn’t enough time to get into the topics at hand. Everyone is trying to get the perfect soundbite in that will give … More Debate
“What are you working on? Do you ever get that question? Do you ever ask yourself that question? I think it’s a tougher question to ask yourself and then answer honestly. It’s very easy to put out in the world what your intentions are and frame them in a way that makes it seem like … More What are you working on?
I write a lot of my posts in a “stream of conscious” sort of way. I start with a general thought and then just type away. It may not make for elegant writing but it’s just something I like to do so I do it. Others have told me to write, edit, rewrite, edit again … More Freeform Saturday
