Want The New Buzz?

The new buzz isn’t from a can or a bottle.

The new buzz is from a ready and willing heart.

The long way is the short cut.

Baby Boomers and Gen X-er’s have the greatest opportunity to be a catalyst for positive change.

Old habits are hard to break and almost never broken.

As the saying goes, “Put up or shut up.”

The world needs role models who do more than talk about what needs to be done.

Are you that kind of person?

Are you a thermometer or a thermostat?

I’m A Little Drunk

Uninhibited.

Lady Antebellum.

One of their songs goes, “It’s a quarter after one, I’m a little drunk and I need you now….”

We drink for many reasons. I drank for nearly three decades.

To fit in.

To escape.

And got pretty good at it.

Lady Antebellum’s song (over 13 million views) is a hit.

Beer commercials are some of the most prolific.

Maybe, we just want to live uninhibited.

It’s possible, without the buzz from a can or bottle.

It’s Working, I Think

The pot of gold at the end of the rainbow?

Finding the buried treasure?

How exciting is it when the secret is revealed to you?

Ever have unexpected moments when important things become surprisingly clearer to you?

How does that make you feel?

Sunday night listening to Miranda Lambert sing, The House That Built Me, on the CMA’s, when she sang, the brokenness is healing, things became surprising clearer.

Of course, being back in Pennsylvania also facilitated this.

There are many of us dealing with suppressed brokenness, which starts to resurface when we return to the place we grew up.
