Part One: Coping With a More Stressful Life – How do you do it?

With today’s economic situation and general lifestyle in America more people are under more stress than ever before. Unmanageable stress immobilizes people and can cause irreparable harm both physically and mentally.

Some of the different areas of our lives that cause stress are the economy, job security, household stress and spouses and children. I think the state of the economy these days can cause general feelings of stress. Retirement money and investments…

Lessons in Living - Things I learned Traveling and After I Returned Home!

I recently returned from spending almost two weeks traveling with my family through Europe. We started in England then traveled to France and Italy. What an amazing trip to share with your family. There were so many memorable moments but in the end what one remembers is the joy and the love shared by our son and daughter as we saw things we had only read about in books or seen in movies.…

What's Sitting In Your Email Inbox?

If someone were to peer over your shoulder right now to look at your email Inbox, what would that person find?

In the Wake of Katrina

This morning, I wrote and added a blogpost to our personal blog- Love Rolls On, and I wanted to share it with you. Think it doesn't apply? Many NC community members have stories of Andrew or other storms crossing our paths. How many of us have parents who are aging or in assisted living or nursing homes? How many know of someone who is a caregiver? We can all learn lessons from the issues and aftermath of Katrina...

What the Heck is Homeopathy?

Hey InSide919ers ~

I would guess that 99% of the population has NO idea what is homeopathy. Over time I will post bits and pieces to bring some differentiation between misconceptions and the truth about homeopathy.

Based upon fundamental laws of nature, homeopathy is a dynamic 'individualized' form of medicine that put down on paper by Dr Samuel Hahnemann around 1888. This form of medicine has a long history and thousands of documented provings,…

Eye on New Orleans: Katrina's Other Orphans

As we continue our Hooked on the Book campaign, we would like to take the time to honor yet another category of Louisiana residents -- our four-legged friends. During Hurricane Katrina many animals were lost and separated from their families. Thanks to the effort of the Louisiana SPCA, many were able to be reunited with their original families, while others were placed in new loving homes.

As we approach the fifth anniversary of Katrina, I am… Read More

So Simple Yet So Difficult - If only everyone in the world could do this!

I attended Mark's and Pat's session today "Getting You More Business Success with inside919" at Sister's Catering. What a great presentation on how to get the most out of this great venue. I'm sure there is much more to be learned. However, both Mark and Pat mentioned the importance of words. Simple, innocent words that can impact anyone's reality (good or bad) in the blink of an eye by lifting them up or putting them down. It's up to us. Recently I read a great short…

New Beginnings -

It's been a while in the making - but I'm ready to launch! For several years I spent 30-40 weeks a year traveling around North America. Living in motels, racking up over 1,300 airplane rides. During those years I was in over 200 retail stores helping owners and corporations move their business to the next level. This summer I've focused on returning to the already chock full field of consulting, with a twist. I'm not interested in spending 30-40 weeks on the road. I will travel, if the… Read More

The New Google Realtime Search - What Does it Mean to You?

Google launched realtime search last December, but they have now 'kicked it up a notch" by giving it its own home page. Basically it is a Google search page that updates in real time. Unlike 'regular' Google searches which often have 'top results' that are years old, these searches will produce them as they are posted. While sorting the data based on things like 'number of people who have clicked on this one' is believed to be useful based on the… Read More
