Tourism as Economic Development
It makes sense. Get people from outside of your community to come visit your natural resources, your events, your community. Have them shop in town, eat at the restaurants, get gas in town, stay overnight in your hotels and that will stimulate your economy. We can all see that picture pretty clearly. Some of the…
Sunday Update: Flipping tires
It’s good to switch things up. Is your workout the same thing, time after time? This week I flipped a 75 pound tractor tire in my workout. That was fun. We also slammed 40 pound ropes and did a little boxing. Talk about working up a sweat! I also walked all over the high school…
One Person Can’t Do Everything
One person can’t do everything, I know – I’ve tried. One person can not be everything to everybody. I know – I’ve tried. It’s why mission statements and manifestos are so important. They help you to focus and bring you back to what is important. They are your ‘why’. Each of us needs a reason,…

31 Days
I’ve blogged consecutively for 31 days now. I was given a challenge to do so, and I did it. It was one of my busiest months professionally, and still I blogged. Some of the posts were reposted from articles I had written for my enewsletter. Some of the posts were pictures I had taken at…
