Listen, avoid defensiveness, make change

Have you survived that stage in life called “Providing a car for your teenage daughter to drive”? I can vividly remember those challenging times when a daughter would come to me and say, “Dad, my car is making a funny noise.”

Oh, how I hated that feedback. It was going to cost me time and money, and often the frustration of trying to hear the “funny noise” with my impaired hearing. I just wanted to tell them to turn up the radio and hope the problem would magically go away.

Take time to make WOW time with your significant other

For a Mother’s Day gift, I carved a block of wood into the bold letters MOM, to honor my wife’s role as a mother. The neat thing about this block of wooden letters is that either way you look at it, front or back, it spells MOM. When you turn the word upside down, it also spells WOW.
