APRIL 2, 2021 LEADERSHIP As part of our work with our Foundational Band of Brothers, (and Women of Worth) brother Randy and I initially thought we would build our group solely on the principles of Leadership because leadership is SO important in any family or organization. Our Band of Brothers is comprised of many of […]

MARCH 26, 2021 I have lived just long enough to read and understand a few of the so-called “experts” in the world.

FEBRUARY 5, 2021 In our work with our Foundational Band of Brothers, we are just beginning by getting to know and appreciate the gifts and strengths each one of our group possesses. We ALL have certain gifts and skills. Some look like they come naturally to our group but many have honed and used their

JANUARY 29, 2021 What do YOU do when you have setbacks or failures in life? What lessons will you learn from your setbacks that will help you through the tough times or hopefully not repeat the same mistake over and over again? Tough question for many of us as we tend to go through life
