Ever the optimist with the listening ear and curious mind. I spend my days being myself and hoping that I can make smiles happen or days seem lighter to those around me. I love to learn about the perspective and perceptions of others and how that affects their actions… or inaction. Warning: Movie, TV, and song referenced will be used often. WHY? Where else do we turn when we are entertaining our own moods. Like an onion, it’s time to peel some layers (Shrek reference)

    Oh Grow Up!

    Grow up... because its just so much fun! Did you sense my sarcasm? Sure adulthood has it's perks. Adult money is great. Freedom? Yes, Please! Responsibility... whoa... What?!? Wait a minute... this responsibility thing comes with so much baggage like anxiety and stress. Who signed up for that? Well, we did. Thanks to our parents. Guess what!? You're probably putting some of that stress on your own kids now too. That's not nice.In this episode we talk about how our children just might be our saviors. They can and will remind us of the joys of childhood, the power of play, and how to appreciate the little things. That is, if we let them.

    Work Sucks!

    We all have to do it... Work! Day in and day out we set our alarms, get up, and head to our job. You need that paycheck, so suck it up and get it over with. Why do so many of us cringe at the thought of going to work. Why does work suck? In this episode I took an opportunity to talk with people from different walks of life and career paths on what influences a good or bad work experience. From a white collar banker, to a sales manager, and several opinions from the blue collar perspective, I had my perspective shift time and time again. In the end I realize that its rarely the job that sucks, but a variety of other influences that contribute to the conditions you work in... OR is it that you just have an unreasonable expectation for your self or the position you're currently in. Well, guess what? You can do something about it. Check out episode 2.... Work Sucks!

In this introductory episode I give a quick peek into who I am and how much i believe we can all live happier lives with some tweaks. Take a look around and you will see people just trying to make it though the day. Chances are if I cross your path you will notice some skipping from a high volume goofball with a cheesy smile.

I'm constantly thinking about how a quick interaction can completely change a persons entire day. So here's the beginning...
