Upon hearing this answer, the viewing audience went wild. And then Oprah stuck the microphone back in Marcia’s face and said, Read more

Sometimes it’s fun to wander and explore with no schedules and assignments.
Then – there are times we must “get ‘er done”!
But – “‘er” – what is that?
If you aren’t clear on that, you and each of your teammates is likely to be like one of those pin balls – ding ding bada dingadingding – all over the place.
Or the complete opposite – ball still in the socket – shooter pulled back – waiting waiting waiting to get into the game.
The more important it is for you to “get ‘er done”, the more important it is for you to be clear about your vision. And that usually that requires you to make some choices. Read more

Years ago, I was on the decorations committee for a large event. Connie was committee chair. For five months, she planned elaborate decorations. Occasionally she asked committee members for help finding odd objects or materials. Other than that we had little involvement until the day of the event when all fifteen members of the committee were asked to be at the site from 9 am until 3 pm to put the decorations in place.
At 9 am, she arrived with a car full of boxes and crates and bolts of fabric and on and on. Our first task was to help unload her car.
We stacked all the items just inside the door of the room in which the event was being held, then stood and waited for our next assignment.
Connie turned and looked at the fifteen of us eagerly waiting – looked at the stack we made – then impatiently told us we had stacked everything right where she was going to build a decorative volcano. Read more
