Do you ever feel bad about buying new clothes? I sometimes feel queasy about the amount of clothes we consume.

Six years ago this September, a very good friend of ours went for a routine chiropractic neck adjustment. On her way home from the chiropractors, she suffered a series of violent strokes that left her unable to move, swallow, or talk.

I had to share this heart-warming video. It’s a lovely tribute to Toby, an amazing dog.
Our good friend and professional speaker colleague Charmaine Hammond has written a couple of books On Toby’s Terms and Toby the Pet Therapy Dog, about their Chesapeake Bay Retriever.

We always make a point of dressing up for our presentations. Everbody should but let’s face it, we have to. We’re image
consultants. We try to look good on the platform. (Joanne is a 10, I’m somewhere around a 7 or 8.) What we didn’t realize was that another part of our image was letting us down. It was around a 3 or a 4. It badly needed a makeover.
Comedian, writer and producer Tina Fey has written a funny and compelling memoir called Bossypants. Not so much a memoir as a humorous tip and advice book. It’s about her career and life in the male dominated world of entertainment and improv comedy in which she has learned how to succeed.
