A picture in my room fell down which I decided without hesitation that it was because my house is haunted. Years ago, my psychic friend Tami who was staying at my house for a couple of nights burned a smudge stick (sage) and sprinkled salt in my corners* to help...
“People who use time wisely spend it on activities that advance their overall purpose in life.” ―John C. Maxwell This morning at our monthly medical staff meeting Kim Heller presented an abbreviated version of an exercise that we did at our last leadership development meeting.

Someone said to me recently that after reading my columns for the past month, they felt I needed a hug. Hmmm … I’m not a huggy person so don’t do that. I went back and reread my words and ok, I was a bit down in the dumps – probably...
