Faith Friday: Simplify

Like you, I am battling with some disbelief.  It’s the final month of 2023. Welcome to December! It doesn’t take someone with extraordinary intellect to realize we live in a complex and complicated time. Whether it’s global affairs, politics, the economy, or the price of energy and groceries. There seem to be very few simple solutions to the challenges in the world around us and in our daily lives. So, how do you approach December? With relief that the year is quickly coming to an end? Or with the hope

Coach Darin: Unlocking Success: The power of a clear vision in business

During our working session with a TAB member, we had an interesting conversation about the importance of having a clear vision for the company. I would like to share some of our findings and explain why having a clear vision should be the starting point for any successful team or organization. Vision sets the course: A company’s vision outlines the course that should be taken and what it aims to achieve on its journey.

Robust sales report kicks off Christmas buying

Gloomy predictions for a less-than-healthy holiday sales season were dispelled by a report this week from the National Retail Federation (NRF).

When was the last time we’ve seen a serious Christmas movie? Not a genre film, like Hallmark’s standards or re-runs of animated Rankin/Bass specials from fifty years ago, nor a drama with a mention of Christmas, like Little Women or Green Book. Rather, a theatrically released, A-list Christmas flick. This year, Oscar-nominated filmmaker, Alexander Payne (Sideways, Election, Nebraska) and beloved actor, Paul Giamatti have both gifted us a sharp, bittersweet comedy-drama that rings in laughs and tears in bulk; The Holdovers. Set in 1970 at Barton, a fictional boarding school
