By LONNIE KING I was three cups of coffee deep into the weekend, scrolling Instagram the way you do when you should be doing literally anything else, when I ran into a reel that stopped my thumb cold. It featured a wildly-agitated man in a sheriff’s uniform, standing in a parking lot in Cleveland, Oklahoma — population somewhere south of 3,300 (the kind of town where the water tower probably…

Ok, let’s see where we left off… I haven’t done this in months — June to be exact. And while I want to laugh about it, the truth is…it’s not really funny. It’s actually a little sad, because I fell right back into a pattern I’ve been trying hard to break. But is that really so bad? Maybe not. Because even though I slipped, life has definitely been “lifeing” since the last time I had a chance to…

“Discipline isn’t punishment. It’s self-respect in action.” The fact that I can’t seem to focus lately is really starting to get under my skin. My sleep’s been off—staying up way too late and crashing at odd hours. I’ve caught myself losing my train of thought mid-sentence or just zoning out entirely. Is this sleep deprivation, anxiety, or something deeper? What I’ve realized is this: these…

I ask myself that more often than I’d like to admit. Motherhood doesn’t come with a…

April 25, 2025 – A quiet moment with Lofi and J. It’s 4:50 in the morning. I’m curled up in the recliner, Lofi Girl playing softly on YouTube while our little Maltese, J., snores beside me. This might just be another rambling session, but honestly? Most of my ramblings turn into semi-decent blog posts, so here we are. If I’m being honest, being vulnerable is hard for me. It makes me feel……

Accountability and responsibility are intertwined. In most businesses, the concepts are intertwined and when hierarchies are present, layered. In other words, determining who is responsible and accountable is harder than deciding how many layers were in the seven-layer dip several hours after it has been served to a hungry softball team. Let’s use the example of developing a feature for a product…

SPaMCAST 809 features our essay discussing whether accountability and responsibility are ever separated in real life. In a corporate setting, if you are interested in instigating a no-holds-barred debate bring up the topic of the relationship between accountability and responsibility. Get your popcorn ready BEFORE you start the discussion.  We will also have a visit from Jon M Quigley who brings…
