I LOVE the mild winter we are having in North Dakota with several days in the 40's and even record setting days in the 50's and 60's. The only snow you will see in Minot is the remains of large piles from clearing off parking lots. While a few of us love it many who live in North Dakota are very ...

Warming up before a presentation. I always practiced my presentations before going into the real situation. I believe this gave me an edge as I usually came across as polished and professional. I would start with an outline of what I wanted to accomplish.By writing down my thoughts/plans I could ...

Less than three weeks ago I told you about my daughters new pet, Sunny.

Last month I mentioned the big voice of Brenda Lee. Many thought that she was a adult midget because they could not believe such a little girl could have such a powerful voice. As Timmothy's cartoon points out a little guinea pig can have a loud voice.A Real Estate agent can also have a BIG voice...

If you are a pet owner you are most likely familiar with the scenario in the cartoon above. For me it's my dog, Baby, needing to go out just as I'm ready to go to bed and occasionally (rarely) in the middle of the night. Timmothy's cartoon is speaking from his experience as a (past) guinea pig ow...

I don't think I have ever made the effort to smile all day long BUT I have made the effort to emulate the wonderful example of Anna "Banana" Kruchten 's positive attitude.A forced smile always looks like a forced smile, we don't fool anyone with it. I think this is a very important, yet simple, l...
