June 9, 2014 by David Gillaspie

May 30, 2014 by David Gillaspie

Why Not To The Hometown? No one likes hearing classmate at a reunion say, “So glad I got out of here.” Hear it once and you want them out of there again. Hometowns aren’t prison to escape from. If you feel that way, it’s you, not the town. Maybe when we were in our late […]

May 25, 2014 by David Gillaspie

A ‘One Up’ For The Rest Of You. Hardly a conversation goes by without one person saying, “I know,” in response to everything. Is this what passes for active listening?
