Let’s settle the debate on what the best camera is – because it’s not the newest Sony A7R or Canon 5D. I believe the best camera is the one that is probably nestled in your hand right now: a smartphone. I recently upgraded from an iPhone SE to an iPhone 13 and the difference in camera capabilities is ridiculous, and that’s why I feel compelled to write this.
Before I started working at 5+8, I rarely tried my best at things because I feared failing. The thought of getting a bad review or a negative remark on anything that I did caused me to shy away from giving my all at whatever I was trying to do. In my mind, anything that I said, thought, or did that wasn’t “good” was an automatic failure. I’m sure some of you reading this can relate…

One night, I was watching a promotional video on Facebook about foster and adoptive parents. The promotional video caught our attention and motivated my husband and I to research local agencies. We also started to engage more in Facebook groups to ask questions and watched testimonial videos that we found in the agency’s website and YouTube.
So, what I am going to do next (which my team doesn’t know yet, but will shortly) is have them write. It’s way overdue and I hope they find this an exciting challenge. Some will fight it and come up with a bunch of reason why they can’t. Before they even try I’ll list them for them ahead of time so they don’t have to bother.
I am one of those people who is hardwired to try and impart myself onto others. This can be noble or narcissistic but most likely both. I love inspiration, quotes, affecting others, coaching, and looking for ways to make meaningful change in my world.
I can’t believe I became the kind of person who listens to self-help books. I never thought I’d be one of “those” people. But I most definitely am. One glance at my Audible App and there’s no denying it. According to Audible, I’ve been listening to self-help books since 2018. Approximately half of the books I listen to could be described as self-help. But every time I type “self-help,” I make this face in my head: 😬 It has a really negative connotation to it. Why does the word "self-help" make us want to cringe?

This is probably my favorite blog subject line. It's borderline clickbait, but I assure you there is a very real story about a show called Bikini Destination. My first full-time job was at a place called Broadcast News Channel. If that sounds like a fake broadcasting company to you, then you are correct and shrewder than 24-year-old Adam was…
While the pandemic is still ravaging many countries (it's really bad), our world is rapidly returning to normalish. It's getting so normal, so fast, it's almost a little uncomfortable. After all, we were promised that nothing would ever be the same, but I am skeptical if the "new normal" is going to happen or if it's going to look an awful lot like the old normal. I can't do much about that, but I can ensure it won't be the same around here. We talked about it, and we decided to keep the new stuff we like and bin the stuff that sucked. Here are a few ways we're working on keeping our "new normal" for good.
