Enough Already

The Word of the Year  (More detail here)

Who knew that I'd continue something like this for 3 years!  And, I gotta' say, it's been interesting.

Report Card - Sequence (2014)
This one, I feel pretty good about, actually.  Trying to keep one word in mind every day throughout the year seemed impossible, but I found out that it's quite doable.  And, I believe (for the most part) that I fulfilled the goal - keeping God in mind first and foremost. When it was time to choose a new word, I actually felt some loss.  I was going to miss spending time with this word! The perceived success certainly encouraged me to continue with a new word for 2015, though.

It Only Works Once

Surprise.
Wonder.
Sometimes amazement and joy.


These are the things of children.  We seem to lose our ability to be surprised and amazed as we leave the things of children behind in favor of becoming adults. Inevitable, I suppose.

And this is certainly true in society and business. We have left behind the things of children in favor of adulthood.  But, once in a while, someone changes that if only for a minute or two.

Watch this German grocery store (Click Here) moving well beyond "sales pitch".  Many worked diligently to provide surprise, amazement and joy.  They chose to give -  to their customers and to all who watch this video. They chose to create smiles, hugs and even a little dancing.
