(ROCKWALL, TX — March 5, 2018) I was reminded this week of how important it is for us to decide how we are going to respond to bad news before it happens. I guess we should ‘practice’ receiving that dreaded midnight phone call or rehearsing our words as we see the look on the doctor’s […]

(ROCKWALL, TX — February 8, 2018) A few months ago my wife’s boss had a birthday and invited us to her celebration. It was my busy time of the year so I was game for anything, well, except for salsa dancing. Yep, that was the birthday plan, go to a restaurant in Dallas that shut […]
(ROCKWALL, TX — February 5, 2018) How difficult do you find it to have a relationship with someone who isn’t there…or doesn’t appear to be there; isn’t responding back to you or can’t find their words?
