Ordering Pizza In The Olden Days

The phone book was the resource for almost everything including pizza. For those of us of a certain age, this brings back some fond memories.

Thought Of The Day 06092024

People focus on leadership but I think the world needs more servants. There is a lot of work to be done and when people desire to help out the world could be a better place. Of course, there is servant leadership but the servant part has to be the focus. Find out what you are enthusiastic about and then do that and hopefully, others will want to do the same. The key thing is to serve so that the world can be a better place.

People Pleaser, Imposter

I am a people pleaser which means I am hard-wired to please people sometimes at the expense of me. With that comes some imposter syndrome; if I don’t please others, they won’t like me. Thanks to my Missus who referred me to a training from work. Also, it comes with some self-esteem issues that I have had my whole life. Sometimes I don’t feel like I belong and find myself struggling to fit in. The whole imposter thing is a recent revelation and some attributes I can understand.

I am kind, courteous, and helpful but do people see that and think I am being fake or insincere by trying to please?

Life is a struggle, and adding other stuff makes it even harder. Do you feel the same way?

Remembering D-Day, France 1944

Eighty years ago thousands of men from all walks of life and from several allied countries stormed the beach at Normandy, France for the largest amphibian operation in history. Thousands died that day and for those who are still living the memory of that day of horror and pain lives on. To all those men there that day, thank you for defending things like freedom, and democracy. You challenged evil and won. Well done troops.
