Today is what we call a “slug day” because we’re going to do absolutely nothing useful except relax for the day! But, here’s the trick to being a slug – NO GUILT!  You’ve got to be totally guiltless along with a continuous desire to watch meaningless television, listen to music and just enjoy life.  It’s actually the most important component [...]

Since I started this blog I’ve missed at most three days in 19 months, but yesterday was just too sweet a day to not make it four! I never went near the computer, making my first of several New Year’s resolutions a reality.  I’m willing to share it with any of your who want to [...]

It’s Sunday and I’m in Las Vegas heading home this afternoon.  We came in for an amazing launch of Album Inc’s new Epoca albums.  Great products introduced as only the Cardello’s could pull together.  The event was attended by some of the best known photographers in our industry and it got me thinking about the passion we [...]

We’re less than two weeks out from Christmas and I’ve got absolutely no point whatsoever to make this morning, except to proclaim my appreciation for all of you who make up this nutty life I have! 
Going back over the last twenty years nobody ever got into the holiday spirit more than me and I guess [...]

Okay, so first, it’s Sunday and I always try and keep it short, light and once in awhile funny.  Second, you guys have entrusted me to provide a blog that’s informative, hopefully useful and even entertaining.   After this past Veteran’s Day, along with my grand daughter Isabelle’s outlook on the world, it just seems like a terrifc new segment [...]

I’m surprised to be leading off this morning with a quote from Barbara Bush, but it sure seems to fit my thoughts…
“You just don’t luck into things as much as you’d like to think you do.  You build step by step, where it’s friendships or opportunities!”
I doubt that I’m any different than any of you.  [...]

I always keep it short on Sunday mornings and today I’m barely even going to write.   With Thanksgiving coming and knowing the challenges everybody is facing with the year coming to a close, there are some incredible people in the world who have done a far better job of giving us things to think about [...]

People who I’ve known for years keep telling me I “seem” happier than they’ve ever seen me.  What is it about human nature that just doesn’t us let us believe things we see?  Why does the word “seem” always represent that last hurdle of doubt before we allow ourselves to believe in something?
Let’s look at your [...]

I always keep it short on Sunday.  I used to think I was keeping it lite, but in all honesty, there’s nothing low calorie this morning – this is the Boston Cream Pie, with extra whipped cream, of Sunday Morning Reflections.
Edgar Allan Poe wrote: They who dream by day are cognizant of many things which [...]

The older I get the more I seem surprised at some really basic ideas.  Here’s one that’s on my mind this morning.  You need somebody to believe in you in order to believe in yourself.  I know it might go against the grain of the concept of just having self-confidence, but it’s so much easier [...]
