Greenwashing is when when companies make misleading statements about their actions to appear more environmentally friendly than they actually are. Usually they do this so they can get something passed with the government (or maybe it is the actual government) so they’re supported by the public and affiliates. In our private lives, it’s called virtue-signaling.Continue reading “Greenwashing”

The Spin
Redacted information is manipulation. We’ve all done it. Tell a story a certain way when you want people to agree with you, conveniently leave out little bits of it so you can control the opinion, spin doctor the outcome….Put ourselves in the light, the right, and generate a pile on of support. But are weContinue reading “The Spin”
Attentiveness: Hearing What’s Not Said
Do you think of people when they aren’t around and understand what they don’t say? When you’re connected to people, you should.

Did That Actually Happen?
Sometimes we get mad, hurt, and disappointed. People act dumb, careless, and inconsiderate. But what about when they don’t? What about the times we get worked up, fill in our own blanks, make the ending up, and then get pissed at the story we wrote ourselves. It didn’t actually happen. If it didn’t even happen,Continue reading “Did That Actually Happen?”
People Vote “With Their Feet”
We can plan the perfect party at the perfect venue with the perfect activities and the perfect food, but if it’s not what the people you invite want to do, they don’t come.

Nobody Likes Being Rejected
The thought of rejection can sneak into a good idea or answered prayer & strip the joy & motivation right out of it. Don’t confuse “not meant to be” with “afraid to be” because you can’t get past the fear (or even the possibility) of being rejected. Jesus was born with the fact of facingContinue reading “Nobody Likes Being Rejected”
