Let me be clear right away – THERE IS NO SEXUAL CONNOTATION TO THIS PROVERB. It refers to the large head on the top of the neck, and the brain contained therein. We are all bombarded daily with messages, and usually, they tell us that something is wrong. Every time I watch TV, the commercials… Continue reading If you don’t sell your head, nobody can buy it.
The four legged dog goes to work
A four legged dog only goes one way. This proverbs speaks about the importance of focusing rather than multitasking.

A four legged dog only goes one way
I once almost missed the news of a friend’s pregnancy because I was only half listening. We were at lunch and while she was talking, I was also on my phone toggling between texting and social media updating…eeek. And I’m not alone in this – we have to have laws to keep people from texting… Continue reading A four legged dog only goes one way
