anything can happen if you let it

The blog title comes from Mary Poppins, which was performed at the Fox Theatre last week.  As I listened it struck me that it was very relevant to our pursuits.  As a group, some special things have been happening.  More is possible, though...if you let it!

...and then some...redux

As we begin to switch gears to the outdoor season for most of you, I thought it might be a good time to revisit an old phrase introduced last year..."and then some".

"and then some", what does that mean? It means everything. Give all you've got, and then some. Care a lot, and then some. Be a great teammate, and then some. Encourage others often, and then some. Go the extra mile, and then some. Strive as hard as you can, and then some.

Remember that phrase, "and then some", consider it a team motto, if you will. Use it as a personal motto, even better.
