There’s nothing new under the Sun. Ideas come from many sources and we are influenced and inspired in many ways. We all “borrow” from other bloggers and most of the time its a very innocent thing while other people just brazenly lift a post from another blogger and pass that work off as their own. Originality is a wonderful thing but its also hard to maintain. Inspiration is a wonderful thing but giving credit where credit is due is important. Sometimes “imitation is the greatest form of flattery” or something like that.

Back To The Future, Twenty Fourteen Theme #wordpressdotcom #wordpress
I change my themes more than some folks change their minds. Since I am using Instagram pictures on my blog again I found they display better across various platforms using the Twenty Fourteen theme. The widgets are in the same places you might have seen before. I like how much content you can display using this theme too. Thanks for putting up with the changes and remaining connected. Keep on blogging good people.
Thank You, You Know Who You Are.
There are lots of people who have been there for me through the years. I don’t think I say thank you enough to them. Without their generosity and care my life would be very different. We all need to be extravagant with our thanks and gratitude to everyone who makes our lives better. Our lives are not meant to be spent on an island so we have to be in this life together. I can’t list everyone I need to thank, that would be a really big blog post but I just want to say thank you everyone, you know who you are. Once again, thanks!
Thank you to http://loveyouandthem.wordpress.com/ for inspiring this post.

Leadership And Listening
This sign is posted in one of the elevators at my work. Listening is an important part of leading people. You have to be able to take information from those who you work with, process it and then take action based upon their experiences. At work I am a team leader and I make it a rule to listen to others and to create solutions based upon what they have to say. Buy-in from those who work with and for you is important.
Rambling About Reblogging
I wish there was a setting that would prevent selected blogs from being reblogged by other users. Personally I don’t reblog a lot of stuff because I believe in generating original content. I will only reblog something if it fits in the philosophy of my blog. There is some value in reblogging because of the traffic it generates but there is also a creepy aspect about re-posting something personal from another blogger. With a little imagination and creativity people can do amazing work.
