Twenty Years of the MMM!

The Monday Morning Minute was born on November 21, 2004.  This Thursday will mark the twentieth year of sharing leadership thoughts and challenges with you all on a weekly basis. I hope somewhere along the way you have found something motivating, encouraging or challenging, maybe all three. Below was the first MMM I wrote when I was with Fleetwood. There may even be a few Fleetwood alumni still reading the MMM. 

Thanks for reading and be blessed my friends…   

Good Monday Morning!

Last week was a great week for the Fleetwood team in Houston.  We...  

• Received a nice bonus,

• Announced the new exiting Business Services concept,

• Announced the relocation of the office, and

• Had a great Thanksgiving luncheon together!

I thought it was a great week, and I am excited about the weeks ahead.  I felt like there was some excitement in the air after the announcement Thursday.  The office seems to be energized about change.  That is great!  That is what we need.  Positive change is what we will be looking for in the coming weeks and months.  I look forward to working with each and every one of you to implement the new Business Services concept.

Mother's Day

 

If you did not talk to your mother on Mother’s Day, do it today.

If you have not recently told your mother that you love her, tell her.

If you have not seen your mother recently, plan a trip.

If you need to reconcile with your mother, do it.

If your mother is not in your life or no longer alive, love someone like a mother.

If you need to forgive your mother, do it.

If you need to ask your mother for forgiveness, ask.

If you are a mother, bless you.

 

In loving memory of Barbara Ward Taylor (1940 -2008) - My mother-in-law lost her battle with lung cancer just one week before Mother’s Day.  She was a loving mother, wife, grandparent, friend and family member.  She had a wonderful zest for life and a love for people. 

Happy 4th of July!

 

Happy Birthday USA!  Have a great 4^th of July holiday and may God bless America!

It is crazy the materialistic society we live in.  The United States is the richest country in the history of the earth and individually we are very wealthy compared to people in many parts of the world, yet we are often not happy with what we have.  That feeling is exaggerated by the barrage of advertising that promotes materialism. Think about wanting what you already have.  Most of us are truly blessed, no matter what our consumerism society would have us think.  Besides, there is a lot less stress in wanting what you have got than in not having what you want!

 

Count your Blessings, they are right in front of you!
