Hello blog readers,

I just wanted to say that I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving filled with blessings!

Thank you for your continued support of “DitchThe.com” and our books. I am so thankful for you!

Occasionally I write articles about my work in leadership.

I recently posted this article on LinkedIn about steps leaders can take when they make a mistake. Learning from our mistakes and putting that learning into key actions is a great sign of leadership growth.

A link to the article is here:

Throughout this pandemic there have been so many acts of grace, kindness, and generosity. Much of that has been done by the people working in the frontlines. In Western New York I was blessed to witness a flyover for our frontline workers.

Here is a short clip of their flight.

Lights CD

Do you love Christmas music? I do! Just this year a Christmas CD I was blessed to be a part of creating a few years ago was released for free online. Two of the songs are ones I wrote, original instrumentals were written by friends, and then there were some classics in there too. There is also a story on the link below that tells you about how the start of this CD, titled “Lights” began. Enjoy!

Hi blog readers,

I just wanted to share that our local Kenton Bee newspaper wrote a very nice article about the book “Ethan and God”, which is a children’s book focused on comforting children experiencing hospital stays. It was written by my sister Sandra Brese Rice and illustrated by her neighbor and friend Linda Swanekamp.

Hello blog readers!

I published an article on change initiatives on my Linked In page today in case you are interested in this topic. Perhaps it will help the next time you either lead a change initiative or experience one.
