Turning Potential Into Results

Never-ending Season

By Camille Smith / November 27, 2023

Being thankful. It’s a choice. Not determined by the day. Not dependent on others. Not designed to get something. It’s a choice. To be above the fray. To be attuned to your heart. To be attentive to their heart.   Who or what are you thankful for? Who makes your life easier? What situation brings…

Are foreign weather balloons messing with your airspace?

By Camille Smith / February 7, 2023

News Flash: Chinese weather balloon hovering over Montana!

What’s in your compass?

By Camille Smith / May 13, 2013

Hear any of these lately? We value integrity. People before profits. Teamwork. Responsibility. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Zero waste. Value diversity. Think Global, Act Local.  These are samples of guiding principles which, whether spoken out loud or not, influence behavior. Guiding principles exist at many levels – individual,…
