TommyLog – Struggles Make You Stronger

Hey Kids, it’s Dad. Boy has it been a whirlwind few weeks. Grandma and grandpa coming to town, graduations, summer school starting, meeting new cousins, Drew’s baptism! Man we sure have been busy. But I’ve also been slacking on my TommyLog duties. I love doing these videos and for some reason I just haven’t had it… But now I’ve got it. I’m here!!

 

The Clifford family is full of struggles. We all struggle. Madeline, Clara, Tommy, Emma, Drew, mom and dad. We each have our own personal, financial, work and relationship struggles. Absolutely nobody is immune to struggles.

We all have confrontation also. I don’t like confrontation and unless I have facts and data. I always like to write out my thoughts. Helps me organize and be fair to both sides of the equation. Sometimes it takes days weeks and maybe even months of thinking and writing and rewriting to get my thoughts out straight. I was talking with a good friend this morning regarding confrontation. Few people like confrontation. I’m not good at it. But I’m trying to get better. I’m trying not to make it about me. If I make it about growing stronger together, things seem to work out better.

But remember, our struggles make us stronger!

TommyLog – Social Media Bringing People Together!

There’s no newsflash that I love social media. Social media has connected me with some amazing people and opportunities. Today was one of the GREAT days where I got to meet long time social media friend Patti Dobrowolski. She was invited to come to town to keynote the Cultivate Event being hosted by the Fox Cities Chamber. About 2 years ago, maybe more, I saw her TEDx talk and reached out to her on twitter. She responded and we have been fast friends ever since.

It’s amazing how social media works! You can see her Draw Your Future talk here http://www.tedxrainier.com/talks/patti-dobrowolski-draw-your-future/ or http://pattidobrowolski.com/

What a pleasure it was to meet you.

Friday Morning Pancakes – Affinity Tweetup

Today was truly an AMAZING day. Every other week we have a breakfast tweetup at BlueBerry Hill. Well this week, Affinity Health offered to host the breakfast at St Elizabeth hospital. We had civic leaders there, the president of the hospital, their PR firm and many many others. Over 40 in all were in attendance. What a true testament to the friends I have here in NE Wisconsin. Its truly humbling the lasting relationships I have made.
