Home Office for the holidays. Helen Keller said “The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart.” That’s what Christmas is about, love.  This holiday season, starting before Thanksgiving, has been difficult.

Can I call you back? I’m at my daughters softball game.Priorities. I don’t usually take calls when I’m at an important event. Important being relative to the person defining it. My “important,”  in this case Claire’s softball games. I do take calls from priority people during these special events if at all possible.  Determining who’s priority and who’s not? That’s easy. Family, friends, clients, and colleagues are my priorities, always. Unknown numbers, out of area calls and my lead calls - yes, I said it outloud, my lead calls are not a priority. Why? That’s easy. If we haven’t met, I’d prefer to be in a setting where I can focus on you. I may need to ask you questions to determine the next steps.
