TommyLog – Learn to Breathe Better
Hey Kids it’s dad, and for today’s TommyLog I want to talk to you about a good friend of mine. Two years ago she suffered a loss in her household. Her dear husband passed away from a long battle with cancer. This last weekend was the anniversary of his death. I was talking with her and discussing the lost and how she deals with it. One thing she said was very strong and very poignant. She says it doesn’t get any easier to deal with it, I’ve just learned to breathe better.

Hey kids, it’s dad and for today’s Tommylog, I want to talk about situation that happened at the mall a few days ago. You see there was this gal that had a sign that she was down on her luck and was looking for donations.

TommyLog – The Power of Communication
Hey Kids it’s dad, and for today’s Tommy log I want to talk about communication. I feel the communication is the key to all success is, or in turn failures in this world. When things are going well you communicate. When things are not going well, you stop communicating.

TommyLog – Don’t Always Plan for the Worst
When things happen, isn’t it human nature to always take you to the worst case scenario? I need to stop always thinking the worst is going to happen and go with the flow a bit more.

TommyLog – Just Don’t Panic
This morning during our morning prayers I said something bit different than I normally would say. Becky and I are planning on taking a little mini get-a-way to Madison this weekend. Drew does not handle change very well and Mom sometimes gets stressed when we have timelines to get everything done. So in my prayer I said “Don’t panic” thinking that was aimed at those 2, but little did I know it was pointed at me.

Today I want to take a serious tone with my vlog and talk about how few people are immune to abuse especially the Clifford family. We need to be more open about what happened and I as a dad need to reach out to make sure that everyone knows its ok to talk about it and to be silent is not an option.

Holy Cow, can’t believe it that school is in full swing and fall is right around he corner. How sad that summer is almost all gone.

What happened next and the life lesson was truly remarkable.

TommyLog – Leave A Situation Better Than You Found It
It’s so important that when people loan you something to return it in as good as or better condition than when they gave it to you. An example of this is that I had the Saturn, graciously loaned to be my our good friends the Gabor family, THANK YOU Tori for letting me use your car while you are away on study abroad… I had that bad boy washed, lightly detailed and oil changed today.

TommyLog – Things are not as they seem…
Kids, we live in a day and age where people will say and act in a way that’s deceptive. It’s hard to separate the truth from the false. So many stories and so many people telling us what we want to hear. Both at work and on TV. How do we know? You need to trust your heart. If that’s not good enough, trust in the Lord. He has yet to let us down.

TommyLog – How Decisions Hurt Others
Tommy talks about the choices and decisions made at Penn State and how they really hurt so many people. The walls of Penn State are virtually coming down around them with the sad sad news of the sex scandal there. The decision of the university leadership to hide the facts of the case from the public has just made the problem exponentially worse. Similar issues plagued Martha Stewart and the football players for the New Orleans Saints. If they had only told the truth at the onset, would the penalties have been so terrible? What does this say about society as a whole?

TommyLog – Conflict Resolution
I hate dealing with conflict. its so “not my style” as Emma would say. I’d consider myself a good communicator, but a really poor in dealing with conflict. I just want it over and done with.
How do you deal with conflict? Do you run and hide?
