How time flies

“The trouble is you think you’ll have time.” This was a recent quote from my friend and superior columnist, Mandy Fabel.  She credited Jack Kornfield’s “Little Buddha’s Instruction Book” and it’s stuck with me for the last two weeks. I’ve written about time in past columns – my inability to manage it, my efforts to [...]

What’s your origin story?

When Ashleigh Snoozy, esteemed Sheridan Press editor, asked if she could write a series of articles on the CVC, I was delighted.  How can you beat above-the-fold publicity on three different days about your organization?  Obviously, an opportunity was lost not to have my puppy, Lloyd and I featured in a large photograph but Julie, [...]

What’s your sign?

Last night on my Leadership Wyoming call, one of my classmates was explaining astrology. I am a Pisces which I always thought was a terrible misunderstanding since I identified more with Aquarius.  Pisces was described to me as dreamy and artistic, while Aquarians were smart and independent.  Which would you choose?  However, upon further research, [...]

Puppies: a cautionary (and stubby) tail

I have a bold statement to make right here, right now.  This column is not about COVID or anything related to it.  It’s not about the election results. It’s not about Christmas.  It’s not about 2020 as a year that needs to move along. No, I think we’re all exhausted by these subjects.  Instead, I’m [...]

We can be and do better

(Author's note: The CVC website has been down for awhile so the blog posts have been piling up.  This was originally published on September 23, 2020.) Remember the good old days when you could have knock-down political fights at the Thanksgiving table and then when the football game started, all was forgotten?  What happened? Why [...]

There’s a word for that

(Author's note: The CVC website has been down for awhile so the blog posts have been delayed. This was originally published August 13, 2020.) Postpone.  This is a word I have heard almost more in the last five months than I’ve heard the word ‘uncertainty.’ That’s saying something given our current times. The good news [...]

The bandit look is all the rage

(Author's Note: The CVC website has been down for awhile so the blog posts have been delayed.  This was written July 2, 2020.) The Governor’s office has released a new logo promoting Wyomingites wearing masks. While it’s a man (typical) and he looks like a bandit, I still find it eye-catching.  And since I’m easily [...]

The view from the dining room table – week 9

(Author's Note: The CVC website has been down for awhile so the blog posts have been delayed.  This was written May 15 2020.) Hello from Week Nine of (Productive?) Work from the Dining Room Table! Let’s look at the positives during this time. I am happily watching spring bloom in front of my eyes. This [...]

Cheers to gratitude and generosity

A song I have on continuous loop in my head these last few weeks has been “Strange Days Indeed,” by John Lennon.  Strange doesn’t begin to cover this though.  My friend refers to the time before March 13 as BC(19). I call the time we are living in now as the Twilight Zone Time Lapse.  [...]

No moving boxes needed

Wow.  I am nearly speechless, which you know is a rare occurrence for me. When I wrote the post last week about what I thought was my love for home renovation shows - especially one based in Laurel, Mississippi - I had no idea what havoc it would wreak. Let me be crystal clear up front: [...]
