The Attermath of a Tornado - 04/29/11 08:36 AM
Yesterday we had the chance to view some of the areas that were in the tornado path through southern Georgia. Over the years we have had the chance to live in various places, both here in the US and overseas. We have lived with complete snow caused shutdowns in Virginia and Ohio, fire threatened areas in California, and flash flood prone sections of Arizona and Texas. But, we have never lived in an area that was in a "tornado alley"....thus this is the first time that I have ever seen first hand the damage from a tornado....and it was almost shocking. … (2 comments)

Some Advice for us "older folks" - 04/14/11 10:02 PM
My friend, and at times almost a mentor, Lou Tice…sent me this a few days ago. It is so good, and so true, as I see as I work with some of our agencies who work with Seniors.
If you’re interested in living to a ripe old age, I have some information about aging and attitude that may surprise you.
Several studies of people who are older, who have lived far beyond the norm in the United States, indicate that attitude seems to play an important role. I’m not saying that there is anything like a “longevity personality.” Living to the … (5 comments)

Lou Tice and the Pacific Institute - 04/07/11 10:55 PM
Lou Tice and I go back 30 plus years…and he is always good and right on target. Goal setting is a big part of United Way, as we raise funds for over 90 programs in the northern part of California…here is his recent piece on goals:
If you’re going to get what you want in life, it is only common sense that first you have to know what you want. Even beyond that, it is absolutely essential that you take your desires seriously enough to goal-set to achieve them.
I am convinced that the reason most people fail to achieve their … (1 comments)

But with more than 1.2 million children dropping out each year, America faces an education crisis. The cost?

Our Goal In 2008, United Way launched a 10-year initiative to cut the number of high school dropouts in half by 2018. It’s an ambitious goal, but by utilizing our core strengths — a national network, committed … (0 comments)
