What Those Notifications Really Do to You

July 23, 2015 by Steve Laswell

Erin and Fred checked their email courtesy of Starbucks. The past few days they were disconnected from technology for a much needed get-away.

Building the Most Often Neglected Muscle…

July 16, 2015 by Steve Laswell

Don’t say, “I’m toning my body,” to a true bodybuilder. Even if they don’t use words, the condescending looks on their face will scream lack of respect.  Bodybuilders build their body for a lot of reasons. But building muscle is the focus, not toning.

I’m not a bodybuilder. (Anyone who’s met me is nodding vigorously).  I don’t even qualify for body toning. (More vigorous nodding).  I probably…

Growing pains are often experienced by children and teenagers supposedly when they are growing fast. According to the Mayo Clinic …

  • How to Win on One of Those Days 

    April 30, 2015 by Steve Laswell

    Your long awaited vacation is mere days away. Carly Simon’s hit song, “Anticipation” — although unrelated to your life — becomes your theme song.

    You imagine sunrise walks with stunning picture-perfect moments … moments when you devour delicious local food; so fresh, so good. Calmed by the sounds of nature, you plan to power up with an afternoon nap.

    How do you feel?

    But, (don’t you hate it when…

    April 16, 2015 by Steve Laswell

    Kendra paid the price to learn her profession. After eight years in medical school followed by residency she board certified in the practice of medicine. Her patients love her. But it’s not because of her qualifications.

    March 19, 2015 by Steve Laswell

    Patrick left the meeting with Rebecca a bit confused. “Why does it feel like Rebecca doesn’t mean what she says?” he asked his teammate Gloria.

    “I know.  Half the time, I feel like she hasn’t heard a word I’ve said. It’s like her mouth is moving, but her eyes are somewhere else.”

    You’re speaking two…
