My friend Dave Zundel of HomeLovers recently said “Barry, I see reference to different core values all over your blog, but I can’t find all the core values in one place. Please post a list of your core values.”

Dave, you’re right! So here they are:

#1. It’s about the people who depend on us. (An attitude)

#2. Learning & Growing: Collecting Wisdom (An action)

#3. Confidence in your Competence (An achievement)

#4. Initiative: Be Solutions-Oriented (A capability)

#5. Winning (A result)

#6. Living a Life of Abundance (A bigger result!)

Apparently I’ve been absent. I haven’t blogged in nearly a month. Work has been constraining lately, but while I’ve been absent from the blog I have developed some new material you’ll see soon. I’ve  been traveling every week. Amidst all that I’ve had numerous problems with my Mac (there’s a new one sitting here beside my desk–Thanks, Steve!). Now if I can just get time to migrate all my data hopefully I’ll be in business. But first, I’m off to Nicaragua, then Chicago. Did I mention that it’s been really busy? See you soon.

They say stolen fruit is the sweetest. Perhaps that’s why there is such bliss in an afternoon nap, kicked back in my chair, fireplace blazing, ballgame on, blanket covering my lap….ah. It feels like I stole it for me, and it was sweet.
