HOW TO HAVE YOUR BEST YEAR EVER Uncategorized

HOW TO HAVE YOUR BEST YEAR EVER

I was about to embark on my best year ever.  I just didn't know it at the time. All I knew is that I had an idea that would move me out of my comfort zone. For years I'd talked about writing a book. Now was the time to stop talking and get it done. Out Of The Comfort Zone In my wildest dreams I didn't foresee that within two years the book would be published, sell over 4,000 copies and win a Canadian national award. Your dreams and mine may not be the same but achieving them will follow a shared path. I couldn’t shake the thought that the year would be great if I not only achieved my…

NORTH POINTE STRONG

Preparing for round 3. It's not exactly what I had planned for Christmas this year. The timing of my "bad" days will put me right on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. With all that has been going on we weren't able to host our annual events or have the house filled with family and friends on a rotating basis. It's been a bit hard knowing that my favorite season has been and continues to be tainted by all this. Angela Hawrylak is a fighter. She is battling cancer - the fight of a lifetime.

WHY THE WRIGHT BROTHERS GOT IT RIGHT Uncategorized

WHY THE WRIGHT BROTHERS GOT IT RIGHT

115 years ago today (December 17, 1903), the brothers Wright on a field in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, lifted off to the sky and into history. Their 59-second flight at an altitude of 120 feet and at the speed of a jog was all it took to set in motion the winds of technological of change. Samuel Langley A few hundred miles away, Samuel Langley was recovering from his humiliation over a similar attempt that ended in failure when his test flight landed in the Potomac River. The Wright brothers and Langley were trying to achieve the SAME goal - they were both building the SAME project. BOTH the Wrights and Langley had a bold goal - build the world's…

ADVICE TO YOUNG LEADERS: GEORGE H.W. BUSH

“I love you more than tongue can tell.” When George H.W. Bush was preparing to accept the Republican presidential nomination in 1988, he sent his speechwriter a list of notions that he believed best represented him. “Words I like: family, loyalty, kids, freedom, grandkids, caring, love, heart, decency, faith, honor, service to country, pride, fair play, tolerance, strength, hope, healing kindness, excellence...I like people; I’m proud of the USA; I like sports; I’m experienced; I love kids.” Yes, he loved kids so much he mentions them twice.

THE GIRL WITH THE HOLES IN HER HEART

When you’re seven years old and God spares the life of your little sister you want to say “Thank you” in a big way.
