She makes me smile. She challenges me to dream. She is my love. She is amazing. She is my best friend. She is patient. She is gentle. She is loved. She is beautiful. She is sexy. She is mine. She is a a mother. She is a daughter. She is passionate. She is brilliant. She is awesome. She is understanding. She is the best thing that has ever happened to me. And I love her with everything that is within me. She is incredible.
Innovation

A couple of years ago I read Tom Kelley’s book The Ten Faces of Innovation. The book looks into the creativity that lives within us all. It opened my eyes to seeing things in a different light, to look at things from different angles before making a final decision. Creativity is the lifeblood of any organization. So I enjoy seeing things that push the limits of traditional thinking, and tap into the creativity that is in each of us. Check out this video, and prepare to be amazed.
Underdog

I love the underdog.
I’m not a big MMA fan, but last night, I found myself watching what was supposed to be the Kimbo vs. Shamrock fight. Shamrock poohed out, so someone had to fight the behemoth Kimbo Slice, that somebody would be a yahoo named Seth (The Silverback) Petruzelli. Who calls them self a silverback? Lame. Petruzelli was a virtual nobody, Kimbo was an internet backyard brawler sensation. And besides all that Petruzelli had going against him, add to that his toenails were painted pink. This joker had no chance. Classic Underdog.
The bell rang, and 14 seconds later Petruzelli knocked Kimbo out.
The Underdog wins.
I get excited.
I paint my toenails pink.
I love the Underdog.
School Lunch

When I say School Lunch most people over the age of 11 cringe. School Lunch is typically served by the meanest looking Manwoman around. She’s got a mustache that rivals the likes of Magnum P.I. and barks out orders while handing out 3mm thick rubber pizza. The truth is that none of us would volunteer to hang out in the school cafeteria, much less eat a meal.
My daughter is about 4 weeks into Kindergarten. For the first couple of weeks, Kellie packed her lunch every day. For the past couple of weeks, she has been asking to eat in Cafeteria. So we let her buy her lunch once a week. She gets to look over the menu and decide which day is the special day that she gets to eat school lunch. She is so stoked that she gets to experience something different, she gets excited about Chocolate Milk.
So what’s different? Perspective. Too often we pass off ideas or opportunities because they don’t appeal to us, they don’t appear appetizing. Maybe all we need is a change in perspective. Maybe we just need some Chocolate Milk.
