There are many times that in life things happen that you don’t expect and they add chaos to your life for a time. Could be …

Principles of Confrontation

N. Sandberg March 25, 2019 January 15, 2022

Leading people will always be difficult and not everyone will follow. That is natural. It will be impossible to get everyone to follow 100% of the time. People stray. That is in the inherent part of our imperfect lives that we live.

Due to this flaw that is ingrained in all of us, there will always be a time for confrontation in our lives. That could be a confrontation with a spouse (careful guys, this might not work out for you), a family member, friend, or even a colleague. Regardless, confrontation is part of our lives.

Sometimes a little bit of snow makes things a whole lot better

N. Sandberg January 1, 2019 January 15, 2022

A few days ago we got a small dusting of snow on the ground. Not like what we had two years ago (see slider below). That is something that I would never like to repeat again.

There is just something about the fresh snow fall, even when it is only a dusting. It is calm and peaceful. Why is this? How does this different phase of water cause a change in us as humans? Is it the color of snow?
