Number Nine


So my 'baby' turns nine this week. Thanks to the berman, we had a "Dance Dance Party" up in our garage last night with some of alli's buds. It was a LOT of fun to play HS musical songs, soldja boy, and low low low low low low low low. Not to mention the hokey pokey, the hamster dance, macarena, and the limbo....
Even 'DJ Daddy' got into it as you can see above. Nothing like a black light, sparkle lights, loud music, and a smoke machine to get a group of pre-adolescent children pumped up with. You can check out the rest of the session here:

On top of all that, I got to hang out for the evening with my boy berman, who was my friend from the first time we walked into a room together back in the summer of 1996. It doesn't matter where we go or what we do, when we are together, or we are apart, we are always friends. I have greatly appreciated his honesty, his sense of humor that kills me, and his ability to enjoy life since the day I met him.
Plus, the sick family got to go out for the evening with the witty's. I was so glad that they did that after they left the chillens at our casa bel grande. So if you have girls, or even boys for that matter. Nothing like getting your own personal 'DJ Daddy' to spin some LP's for your ninth. Can't even believe it is nine this year. She is so beautiful, so creative, so fun to be with. I love my daughter dearly. Speaking of her creativity, we were cleaning the park in the D yesterday morning, and she took little leaves that had fallen, and decorated the gazebo with them.....so cute.

Love to my little girl on the big bday blowout weekend bonanza......

Too, Too, Too Much Fun

Alright. So you're sitting in front of your computer right now. And you're saying to yourself at about 8:00 pm: "Huh. It's been dark out for nearly three and a half hours now. What else can we do for fun?" Well, sir, we have the answer. Take a look at this.

Big Difference.

I heard my superstar say this to the girls this week: "Discipline sounds like something that is bad, right? But really, it isn't. It means to push yourself to doing something. Like journalling, reading your bible, spending time with God. That is a spiritual discipline. See how that isn't a bad thing?" For nearly four years now (you can get the full story if you look back to 2007 postings), I have certainly elevated my game in the area of spiritual disciplines. Reading the bible more than I ever did before, truly engaging with what God's desire is for my life, not just when it is convenient, trying to spend time being still and listening to what God has to say to me, and one thing I never really understood why superstar did it - journalling. I really started engaging in my morning "Java with Jesus" when I began to work for my company in the D. I would get up early to drive down Alter Road to the little park where the lake turns into the D river.

My Communication Arsenal

Let’s be honest, we all have moments of glory when we are communicating with others, and moments of incredible fall on your face failure.   I for one have always thought I was a relatively good communicator, and my perspective was that I could effectively communicate and engage with a variety of people from different cultures, backgrounds, ethnicity, upbringing, or what have you.   I have been a teacher, coach, assistant principal, principal, leadership development consultant, school improvement coach/facilitator, and done these things in a variety of areas in suburbia, rural districts, and even in Detroit, Flint, and Brooklyn.   But today, I came across this word arsenal .   I felt as if I was walking down the street of life and a sign with this word was in my path and I walked my face right into it – you know the videos you see online when someone doesn’t see the sign before they run their head into it?   And it was painful.   The pain came from the realization that I have an
