A Great Big Thank You From The Tiniest of Tots
My Hill-Rom colleagues from the Cary, NC office filled and delivered around 100 buckets to the Duke Children's Hospital in Durham, NC. One grandmother sent the following thank you note when her grandson received a bucket. Every single person volunteering for Bucket...
The Fake One Just Doesn’t Cut It.
Molly. Felicity. Josefina. Kirsten. Kit. Addy. American Girl® Dolls. These were the names of some of the first American Girl dolls that I remember. Our daughter, Morgan, loved her Molly doll. She took her everywhere. She slept with her, watched TV with her and...
Slow and Steady Does Not Always Win.
There he was in the middle of the road. Neck stretched like a toe in a pair of pantyhose. His four short, stubby legs carrying that hard shell across the heated blacktop. Slow and steady. I drove on the other side of the road to avoid him. I looked in my rear view...
Rest. Relaxation. And A Little Jesus.
The sight of soft lights. The sound of soothing waterfalls. The smell of lavender lotion. The taste of cucumber water. The feel of tranquil, relaxation. I recently experienced my first all-day spa experience. I had a massage early in the morning and then enjoyed the...

Sniffle, Snort and Sob.
Have you ever cried? I mean really cried. Hard core, loud, let-it-all-out, ugly kind of cry? The kind where you think "I'm not going to cry until later" and then one little tear escapes out of the corner of your eye; the lump in your throat feels like a stuck...
Way Ahead of Ya!
I was way ahead of my time. (wink wink) Work-life balance. Work from home. Dress for your day. Continuous improvement. Team building. Corporations say they are "changing with the times" but these ideas have been around for a long time. When I had my second daughter, I...
I-What? I-When? Eye-Where?
iPad. iPod. iPhone. Mac. Dell. Thinkpad. Google. Yahoo!. Firefox. All this technology makes my head spin. But it also makes my vision blurry. Do your eyes ever get tired and burn with blurred vision from staring at a screen too long? If you think about it, our eyes...
