Scary Times as We Enter the New Decade
I'm working from home today--but uncovered some research I wanted to post.For two years now, I've been investigating the mushrooming population of young people around the globe. Generation Y is already the largest generation in earth's history. In the U.S., they have surpassed the Baby Boomers in size, and with immigration (which is the wild card), they could grow
My Year End Tradition and Offer…
I have a twenty-four year old tradition I practice the last week of December each year. I thought I would share it with you and make an offer at the same time. Each year I take a chunk of time (usually an entire day) and review the past twelve months. I reflect on what I did, what I failed to do,

Alabama took on top ranked Florida and Texas played rival Nebraska. The two teams that came out on top will likely play for the national championship: the University of Alabama and
Speaking Their Love Language
