As we enter the last week of 2022, here is some food for thought. “From now on, then, resolve to live as a grown-up who is making progress, and make whatever you think best a law that you never set aside. And whenever you encounter anything that is difficult or pleasurable, or highly or lowly regarded, remember that the contest is now: you are at the Olympic Games, you cannot wait any longer, and that your progress is wrecked or preserved by a single day and a single event.” —Epictetus #goals #resolution #newyear #2022 #foodforthought #epictetus #ryanholiday #ThinkAboutIt #growthmindset

Christmas is different now. Ever since the kids began to leave home, Christmas has been different. This year we won’t have a house full of children and grandchildren. They will all be celebrating in their own way. We will probably have Christmas Eve or Christmas Day video chats, open a present or two, and spoil our dogs with gifts they have received. The changes make me emotional, but I am challenging myself to embrace the change and start new traditions. How are you handling the challenges and changes in your Holiday season? Wishing everyone lots of love and hugs for this Christmas time of year. #christmas #change #family #children #dogsofinstagram #doodle #aussie #husky #grandchildren

Three-way tug-of-war! Do you feel like this right now? The holidays can bring a lot of pressure. You might need to let some stuff go. Grit with grace. #holidays #grace #tugofwar #dog #dogs

Here are some thoughts to ponder over the weekend. Let's come up with a plan. Unveiling the Elusive Facts of Cybersecurity https://buff.ly/3HlXBMj #cybersecurity #smallbusiness #nonprofit #malware #security #data #assets

Is your business vulnerable to cybercrime? It is easy to get lulled into a false sense of security. Let me ask you these questions: 1. When is the last time you worked at a coffee shop and left your laptop on the table while you visited the restroom? 2. You sat in front of a window in the coffee shop where someone could see your screen? 3. You shared a password with a colleague? 4. Have you put your passwords under your keyboard? 5. What about using the same password for as many accounts as possible? If you are guilty of using the Pa$$w0rd approach, you really need to think about cybersecurity. Your information is valuable and important. #cybercrime #cybersecurity #password #yubico #security #protect #data
