ABOUT ME

Back before e-mail, texting, twitter and the internet, I began sharing some random thoughts with the folks at the Williams Company on a weekly basis. Normally the “Thought” comes out via a colored sheet of 8 ½ x 11 sheet of paper, and distributed to everyone in the company. The “Thought for the Week” can be an inspirational quote, a thank you for a particular job well done, a short story, or even a funny cartoon. The target audience has been random. Sometimes the “Thought” was aimed at a very specific person, and other times it was for everyone. Sometimes they were aimed at my two daughters (Shhhh…don’t tell them) who have gone off into the world, but still receive a nondescript white envelope each week with my “Thought for the Week” neatly tucked inside. Over the years I have had countless folks at Williams Company say to me, “That Thought for the Week really hit home with me this week." Other times I will see the “Thought for the Week” pinned on a wall with several key words underlined for emphasis. They seem to hit different folks for different reasons.

For the last 15 years or so, I have sent out the “Thought for the Week” here at the Williams Company. I guess that makes about 1500 “Thoughts”. I think I have a few more in me, so I’ll just keeping searching for little nuggets of wisdom, and a few words of gratitude.

Cheers!
