All Together Now...

Just because your team efforts did not meet goals doesn't mean you weren't entirely successful. Don't discount what you learned or experienced about being a team member, learning to work together, and being mutually supportive. The next team effort will move you closer to your goals.

of Smell, but that still wasn't enough to

I Told You So...

Just how important is it to prove your point? How much are you willing to give up to be right? Truth has a way of making itself known eventually, so your efforts could cause you nothing but grief. Chill out and let others discover for themselves the truth of a situation.

But I Looked So Good.....

A Labor of Love?

Often we find ourselves laboring for rewards we never reap. Someone, somewhere is benefiting from our sweat, but quite often it's not us. Is it time to re-evaluate?

Value Meal

Value is an arbitrary thing - it differs from culture to culture, nation to nation, person to person. That does not release us, however, from valuing others values. Harmony comes from understanding that diverse opinions are valid and valuable!
