2020’s: A Decade of Disruption?

March 11, 2022 by Scott Wise

It is safe to say that the word of this decade is ‘disruption’. While the phrase ‘decade of disruption’ has been overly used to dramatically describe past decades, the 2020’s came along with contempt scoffing, “oh yeah?…hold my beer”. The decade started with the Covid pandemic and continues to ripple with wave after wave of turmoil in our social environment that is reshaping … [Read more...] about 2020’s: A Decade of Disruption?

Get busy living or get busy dying

January 9, 2022 by Scott Wise

Our attitudes on death dictate the lives we live.  This seems like a strange paradox, but our acceptance of inevitable death provides the perspective that drives the actions we choose to experience life.    There are those who live their lives cautiously, without risk, who prioritize longevity over loving the life lived.   There are also those whose zest … [Read more...] about Get busy living or get busy dying

The Power of Perception

December 11, 2021 by Scott Wise

perception writes our life story

We are the authors of our reality Your life is a story and you are the author.  The reality of your life is how you choose to write it.  We can either get caught up in the details of the story’s setting, the where, when, what that takes place, or we can focus on the who that is you.  The story’s setting is simply the context in which it takes place, it is not the story … [Read more...] about The Power of Perception

Unusual Gratitude for Thanksgiving 2021

November 25, 2021 by Scott Wise

Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow. Melody Beattie Top 5 things to be Thankful for in 2021 #5 - Thankful for the transparency of thoughts More than anytime in history, the challenges of the pandemic exposed the hearts and minds of the people around us.  Their thoughts, motives, and beliefs, were put on full … [Read more...] about Unusual Gratitude for Thanksgiving 2021

Lost Art of Listening

April 24, 2021 by Scott Wise

The chaos in our country is a failure to communicate. Problems become politics when there is power to gain. The pandemic is exposing the hearts and minds of the people around us, their thoughts, motives, and beliefs are on full display with technology amplified transparency. We are losing the art of listening, and it is painting an ugly picture of our future together. … [Read more...] about Lost Art of Listening

High Plains Drifting

March 14, 2021 by Scott Wise

A long road trip can reset the mind and refresh the soul.  Your thoughts wander as you peer through the windshield at the road ahead, and the forward motion of the drive allows you to forget the past and ponder the future.   After six hours of interstate it was time for some different scenery and the mountains in the distance seemed worth a soulful search.   … [Read more...] about High Plains Drifting

The Cancer in our Community

January 31, 2021 by Scott Wise

A creative writing essay I wrote while struggling with two family members battling cancer, during a time of divisiveness caused by the Covid pandemic. There is a cancer of divisiveness growing inside our communities.  It alters our healthy unity of purpose and attacks our reason and rationale. It divides our country by replacing compassion and concern with conceit and … [Read more...] about The Cancer in our Community

The beginning of the end of US

January 6, 2021 by Scott Wise

I hope one day I learn the truth about how our great country came to an end.   It may not be known until after my death, and maybe only told to me by God himself.   We can no longer trust the media, trust each other, or believe our eyes, as the deceit is everywhere, all around us, from both sides of a divided America.   I am sure of this, it didn’t happen … [Read more...] about The beginning of the end of US

Zuzu’s Petals

December 12, 2020 by Scott Wise

What if we all had some of Zuzu’s petals in our pocket?  If only to remind us that our shared future is the outcome from billions of seemingly insignificant moments of connection with one another.    Nothing can hit us harder than life circumstances.  We all have unrealized dreams, unmet expectations and unpaid bills.   Everyone has a choice to make … [Read more...] about Zuzu’s Petals

Donkeys, Elephants, Mermaids, and Unicorns

February 18, 2020 by Scott Wise

A fantasy in politics It occurred to me after watching the presidential debates that American politics has digressed into a divisive mathematical formula on both sides of the aisle.  Taxes / Entitlements x Special Interest Campaign Funding = Votes.   Votes equal the power to keep the two-party fear mongering divisive system going on indefinitely … [Read more...] about Donkeys, Elephants, Mermaids, and Unicorns
