The 2019 Version of Myself Stunk at Everything!
As you can see from the title, I think very highly of myself (haha). With yearend approaching (where the heck did it go?), it’s time for reflection. I love this time of year, as holidays, family, time off, and new beginnings are upon us. However, I mainly get a little nostalgic as I think about the person I was and the person I am today.

Work Life Balance: Live to Support Work, or Work to Support Life
I’ve noticed that most of us graduate and get a job. That job takes us in many directions and drags our life with it.

Grateful Retirement: The Key to Happiness
I feel like I’m in the Tom Hank’s movie Castaway these days. I’m stuck on an island (I mean, stuck inside my house), haven’t had a haircut in months, and my best friend is a volleyball named Wilson.

These are the Best Days of our Lives
I was reading some research the other day about the happiest ages of our lives. As part of that research, I found the following graph. I found it truly fascinating and, in a lot of respects, counter-intuitive.
If you’re Happy and you know it Clap your Hands!
If you’ve spoken to me or read my blogs over the past year, you’ve likely noticed a trend. I talk a lot about fulfillment. It’s been my obsession lately, both personally and in my client coaching. The point is to understand what makes us truly happy.
Bonus Blog Part 3: The Impractical/Irrational Spends
I’d like to discuss the impractical, or the irrational, spends as the last leg. I’ll tread somewhat carefully here, as it’s your money and you can do with it as you choose. But I certainly see plenty of situations where people aren’t getting the most bang for their buck.
