calaveras county: Moods, Feelings, Thermometers and Thermostats - 07/30/12 02:54 AM
What "mood" are you in right now? (Be honest.) Dictionary.com defines mood as: "a state or quality of feeling at a particular time." And so moods have a lot to do with feelings. (The argument could be made that moods have everything to do with feelings.) And at any given time we can feel one way or another. Right? We can feel happy or we can feel sad. We can feel silly or we can feel serious. We can feel hopeful or we can feel not so hopeful. We can feel secure or we can feel insecure. It could be just … (0 comments)

calaveras county: So What Are You An Expert In? - 07/16/12 02:10 AM
I was talking with a coworker recently about contractors. We were having some work done at our house which required a plumber, an electrician and more. What I didn't know (so much) is that a "general contractor" (as they're known) have experience in all areas. They can do the plumbing. They can do the electrical wiring. They can do everything. They are the experts when it comes to building and renovating. So what are you an expert in? My expertise is not as a general contractor (obviously). And your expertise probably isn't either. But are you doing something that you really … (1 comments)

calaveras county: The Story of When I Fell + 7 Things to Remember About Falling - 07/05/12 01:53 AM
It was on the highway that I fell. (Well, a little bit off from it.) It hurt. (Ouch. Ouch. Ouch.) The truth is I was jogging and as I'm getting older, I don't pick my feet up as high as I used to. So I hit the curb with my left foot. (It's still sore a week later.) And I was down on my face in a second. (On my left cheek to be exact.) Pow! Scraaaaape. It's amazing what goes through your mind in such a moment. I have been in accidents before and experienced the proverbial "life flashing before … (3 comments)

calaveras county: A Week in a Blogger's Life - 03/21/12 05:50 AM
As resident blogger / social media specialist for Sugar Pine Realty in Sonora, California for the past five years (I just passed my anniversary), I thought I might share what I spend my week doing. (Of course, I have other "duties," too, that time won't allow me to mention.)
My thinking is this might be a helpful template to one or two of you out there who are either new to the social media in business thing or you've been doing it for a while and wonder how somebody else approaches it (who isn't one of the "gurus").

calaveras county: 7 Types of Managers - 03/16/12 03:46 AM
I was talking with a friend the other day about management styles. And it was just so funny how we came up with a list (mostly he did). See if you can relate to any of the following "types" of managers. Maybe you've had one (or all) managing you in your job experience lifetime...
7 Types of Managers:
1. Sea gull manager. They fly in. They do something (the thing that sea gulls do). They fly out.
2. Crisis manager. Doesn't do anything until a crisis happens. Why take steps to avoid it ahead of time?
