Sugar Free Cookes

Being on a low carb diet means no sugar. If you're into cookies and ice cream it's pretty much a shock to the system to go without. Carol found these sugar free cookies which are delicious considering there is no sugar in them. Last night, I was eating some of these cookies and on the back of the package was the background story on how these cookies came to be.

These cookies were invented to solve a problem for its founder. The founder has diabetes and created recipes that he could eat. Started off developing a recipe for a sugar free cone and then later developed sugar free cookies. Now, you can find these cookies in just about any store.

As I was reading more on this company, I came across something that I thought was interesting.

Joseph's Cookies is a socially Responsible Company that offers lifetime employment for its dedicated Team Members....

This company has two things going for it.

  1. The creator was also a user of his product. The passion shows up in the result.
  2. Employees are stakeholders. The passion shows up in the result.

I'm sure there are other products that are just as good - maybe. I don't think I'll try them because I like what's behind the product. This company has soul.

Finally Published!

I just heard that a couple of my pictures will be featured in an upcoming magazine that's due out in October. One of the pictures will be on the cover. I can't release the details just yet on what magazine. I'm sure it will be very strange to see one of my pictures in a magazine. Nevertheless, it's a milestone for me and I'm excited.

This never would have happened if my wife wouldn't have basically held a gun to my head and told me to get serious about photography. It's a blessing to have someone who has more faith in you than you do in yourself.

I've received emails from several folks asking when PictureForLife.net will be coming back. It will be coming back. Since I've been selling several pictures to photo buyers and agencies, I've been having to spend what little spare time I have on building a stock site for commercial buyers. I hope to have that completed in the next month. Then, I'll get back to work on the website.

It's All About The Light Bulb

A good read is Death By Meeting by Patrick Lencioni. Since Jeff and I had four hours to kill on our way home from St. Louis, we decided to tackle this subject. Originally, it was about meetings but then we couldn't agree between meeting hell and project management. So, we decided to tangle them up together to see what happens.

Warning: This Blog Post is meant to poke a little fun at our two favorite subjects. It's meant for entertainment purposes.
