Time Management = Less Social Media
I’ve recently taken a break from social media, specifically Facebook. I still occasionally look at Instagram and Twitter but I spend much much less time on them. I felt I was getting to caught up in the minutia of the posts and splitting my focus wondering what was going on and recently posted. I realized …

Kevin & Bethany Paige – Beautifully Broken
I’ve had the pleasure of owning the new Kevin & Bethany Paige CD “Beautifully Broken” since their performance at our conference in June. After listening to it in it’s entirety I can honestly say it is one of the best start to finish set of songs I have heard in the last 20 years. No kidding. …
My Favorite Songs – Part IV – Green Tinted Sixties Mind
It’s said that the title comes from the way 60’s movies have a green tint to them but all I can say is this song has one of the catchiest hooks of anything I’ve heard lately. The song is from Mr Big‘s 1991 album Lean Into It, which also had the hit single To Be With You. Paul Gilbert’s opening guitar work is superb and the vocals are tight, even in the live version linked below. Take a listen and add to your mobile device for listening when you need a quick happy song.

My Favorite Songs – Part II – Roll To Me
I think Del Amitri‘s ‘Roll To Me’ might be the perfect 2 1/2 minute pop song. Great harmony, groove and the ultimate sing-a-long chorus. Can’t remember where I heard this first but pretty sure it was on FM100 back in the middle 90’s. Take a listen (the video is grainy but the audio is clear).
