I am a lover of many things nerdy – weather and maps to mention just a couple. Another quirky interest of mine is architecture. The beauty of lines and shadows mixed with the practicality of strength has always caught my attention. And while buildings are the obvious attention-getters, bridges have also fascinated me when it …

Refreshing
What is it that refreshes you? You know, refills you from the bottom of your toes till you are overflowing with whatever you had completely poured out? Is it a weekend of naps? Or, perhaps, dinner and a movie with your special someone? Maybe it is some time on the beach. For me, it is …

Refreshing in the Storm
I stepped outside of the office yesterday and was marveling at the beautiful blue sky. After days of rain the sun was shining and, as much as I appreciate the rain, the sun felt so good! However, I quickly noticed the ominous dark clouds that were hanging over Pikes Peak. They billowed higher and higher …
Speaking & Listening
Speak in such a way that others love to listen to you.Listen in such a way that others love to speak to you.~Anonymous This quote reminds me of the special place we have as Assistants. Communication is a two-way street; sending information out to others has to be done in such a way that it …
