Note: As I always enjoy a bit of time off at the end of the year, I’m taking this opportunity now to wish you all Happy Holidays. This month represents the 10th year of Aging_With_Pizzazz. Not certain if that is Happy Birthday or Happy 10th Anniversary. Either way, 10 years is a long time for […]
Personal Note: To all of you celebrating over this month’s election, I say congratulations. I trust you will watch for the results from your choice.

I trust that each of you enjoyed the numerous daily posts you have received from me in the past two months while I was away. Are you shaking your head in wonder?

I suspect it isn’t rare for any of us to suffer follow-up failure. Times we ‘meant to’ finish sharing a thought or a plan or information with someone and then it becomes too late. The opportunity is gone. I was unable to finish a follow-up conversation that I had with Alice, a person I really […]

“We don’t know them all but we owe them all.” – Unknown Often Memorial Day is celebrated as a tribute only for the wounded, maimed or killed in battle. Indeed, it is certainly a time to consider and honor their sacrifice. In these times of conflict in so many corners of the world, we’re not […]
A couple months ago I noted a few leaders who have stumbled, fallen and hurt themselves to one degree or other. See “Don’t Fall… in Line with Leaders.” We visited the dozen dangers to avoid those slips and falls. Those leaders are famous, we may not be. We still want to learn to circumvent those […]
