There’s no punch line. They made their own window. The two gentlemen were Joseph Luft and Harry (short for Harrington) Ingham. They couldn’t think of a good name, evidentially, so they called it the Johari Window. The Johari (pronounced “Joe-Harry”) Window is a tool. It was created in 1955 while they were studying group dynamics…
[read to the end for a unique offer] It would be funny to see, but I’ve never seen it. Like so many things in life, I don’t always get to see everything. For that matter, neither do you. Anyone that knows a little about American football knows that the center can’t stand up and throw…
Think about 2016. Do you remember it? Of course you don’t. Now, you may remember various events. Maybe you had an accomplishment or lost a loved one, but on the whole you really don’t remember that much. Think about 2017. You probably recall a little bit more. Sometimes you may recall certain feelings along with…
Start by asking yourself a question, “Why am I asking myself this question?” It’s because you know that something is holding you back. You have a firm understanding that there is another level. It’s as if you’ve been given a gift, but you’re not allowed to open it. Once you’re given permission and open it,…
This is hard to talk about. It’s hard to explain, but there’s a fine line that people don’t usually see. However, if they can’t hear it they can feel it. It’s the fine line that separates someone sharing their story in order to gain something, like money, or giving something, like hope. Over the last…
How to catch a mouse seems obvious until he’s in YOUR house. My first thought was to ignore it and hoped that it went away. Connie, my wife, didn’t care for that approach. So, I did what anyone else would do given such a difficult circumstance. I asked a neighbor. But not just any neighbor….
The best way to get someone to “run for fun” is to tell them that they’re not allowed to run. It worked for me. It seems as though when you tell someone that they can’t have something, it has an adverse effect on them. I had people laugh, scold and frown at me when I…
I have leftover turkey, ribs (pork and beef), brisket, mac & cheese, and pulled pork sitting in my fridge. Who’s going to eat all of that? Who wants to eat all of that? This is a problem. Before getting started, I had to work off some of the holiday blessings … food that is. I…
Blind people can see a lot. Over the last few weeks there have been many “sightings” that never would have been possible had I not gone blind. Going blind has allowed me to see more than you can ever imagine. They say that when you lose one sense that your other senses are heightened. Really?…
Maybe you’ve heard this before. They probably told you, “you can lose everything and get 10 times that in return.” Did you believe them? If you’re anything like me, you didn’t. Then it happened. In March of 2011 my life changed forever. One of two cavernous malformations bled, in my brainstem, putting pressure on the…
