Five words about Dolly Parton…

Fearless, Faithful, Giver, Grateful, Talented.

May we all aspire to be like Dolly.

Thank you for being an inspiration to people of all ages through your music, movies, library and Dollywood. One of my granddaughters favorite place to visit who lives in Knoxvillle.

Blessings and prayers to all her family, friends and colleagues on this loss.

Heaven gained a Rhinestone angel today.

The power of a morning routine: Coach MKay tip!

Working remote from one of my moms (Jo Cox) in Greensboro NC for 2 days to attend the Guilford Medical Dental Managers end of an era event tonight! I was a member for many years and served as their education chair. So look forward to seeing old friends and making new ones.

Here’s a glimpse of my morning segment.

🔆Awake 7am
🦉Meditation 15 minutes and affirmation
🍋☕️Lemon water then coffee
🙏Gratitude journal and thought sharing
📚Read a daily devotion and another book of choice
✍️Write down some learning nuggets
🪴Visit the bog garden for a little walk
🌳Enjoy God’s wonderful nature scenery

Granted, when I was raising my kids mornings looked a whole lot different. Now? What do your mornings look like?

Be the positive, purposeful change you want to see in your mornings. Blessings to you and make every morning count!

The Leadership Juggling Act: Work / Life Integration. That was the title of the keynote I gave yesterday morning for the North Carolina Tax Collector Association. So great to visit with one of my former Greensboro neighbors, Donna Bailey too and grateful she helped me at my book table.

In 75 minutes our group explored the top 10 leadership traits that are powerful for 2026. I asked them to star two or three key areas that they wanted to work on for the rest of the year and also highlight focus areas that their team members to develop.

Then we identified eight key life integration areas that included career, finance, family, friends, self, community, health and spirit. We discussed each category and gave a score from 0 to 10 on a wheel to evaluate opportunities for focus and improvement.

The third segment involved strategies to solve problems and set healthy boundaries. Sprinkled throughout the entire program I shared nuggets of wisdom from some of the books that I have read in the past 30 years.

Don Miguel Ruiz, author of The Four Agreements says it’s important first - don’t take things personally, second - don’t make assumptions, third - be impeccable with your word, and fourth - do your best.

What an impact throughout the globe if everyone would embrace these four principles. A very special moment occurred when Diane Gilliland surprised me by saying her husband Steve Gilliland was going to be in the audience. He’s one of my speaker heroes and his book, Enjoy the Ride has been an inspiration to me.

You are what you read, think, say and do. Be careful about the people you let into your circle. You become what you surround yourself with. Stay in Peace & Joy. Move away from Negativity and Toxicity.

If you want to go to the next level you gotta be willing to Learn. Grow. Lead.

Life’s a journey. Make every day count!

Stretch your comfort zone! You never know what blessings will happen. You got this! P.S. Allison is my sister who plays golf with all these ladies and the person I dedicated my book to. My Year on the Inside, Creating Catalysts for Change. Available on Amazon if you want to check it out!
