  • Song Meaning Websites

    Have you ever checked them out?  They’re pretty interesting – websites set up to allow individuals to post what they think is the meaning of particular songs.  It’s just an organized way for anyone to randomly put their own meanings to songs that they did not write.  I found it…

  • Personality and Personal Brand

    I was reading a blog post about this.  There has been a ton of stuff written about your personal brand and developing one.  The post that I was reading was talking about the limits of a personal brand – that although everyone has one, that this person didn’t want to…

  • The Curious Life

    So I was watching Dinner Impossible – and a commercial came on – a commercial for Kahlua of all things. What caught my attention was the motto.  They had mentioned to be safe in your Curious Life.  Now, this is in no way a commercial for Kahlua, but I love…

  • Constructing an Identity Self-Structure

    Everyone is in the process of identity formation.  Everything that you’ve done and everything you’ve experienced has formed your sense of identity and self.  Every thought you think and relationship that you are in – form you and your identity.  Everyone has an Identity Self-Structure – some system of organizing…

  • You Don’t Interact with I

    I was doing some editing on my dissertation, and I “relearned” something.  I had simply forgotten it.  It’s wierd to learn from your own writing, but I had to take a break to share this with you. When you interact with someone, you interact with their me – not their…

  • Ordering Off the Menu

    I was on my way to a coffee shop this morning, and I thought about my order.  I was planning ahead.  It hit me that I don’t typically just order off the menu.  I tend to order off the off menu – you know – the hidden menu.  I can’t…

  • My 11th 2nd Birthday

    December 3, 1998.  I was in a huge car accident where my head went through the windshield of my car.  I fractured my forehead and my frontal sinus.  When they wheeled me into the hospital, my forehead was flapping as they wheeled me in.  They said that I had injuries…

  • Tweet like a Pharisee

    I didn’t know what else to call it.  I’m not even quite sure I know how to write down what I want to communicate, but I guess there’s a fine line between self-promotion and being a pharisee.  Okay, so I guess back in the day, being a Pharisee was quite…

  • LL24: Distributed Leadership

    As I described in the opening paragraph of the Leadership Lessons section of this blog, I follow a few blogs on leadership.  I came across a post from @metacool (Diego Rodriguez at Stanford School of Business) – here’s his post.  His post was on the Circle of Influence – a…

  • What is Spiritual – a Response

    A few weeks ago, I posted on What is Spiritual.  Here is a response from one of my students about it.  I just asked him yesterday if I could post his comment.  Since the comments a bit hidden from the post, I wanted to post it for all of you…

  • A Great Place to Try It Out

    Blogging is a great place to try stuff out – especially for a verbal processor like me.  I mean, I’m not actually saying it out loud, but I’m processing these ideas.  It helps me.  It’s a seemingly safe place to try out stuff and get ideas out. The thing is,…

  • Who Are We Really Cheering For?

    I heard a preacher talk about this once.  He asked the question – who are we really cheering for? Tonight when I watched the world series, I fixated on the idea that Johnny Damon 5 years ago won the World Series with the Red Sox.  In 2004, he had a…
