If you design a cockpit based on the average pilot body, not a single pilot will fit in it. Just ask the US Air Force. In 1950, they measured 4,063 pilots on over 140 dimensions. Then, they took just the top ten (like height, sleeve length, etc.) and designed a cockpit that would fit anyone […]

We live in a world where constant change and disruption is a given. Our current lives may have been turned upside down by a world pandemic, but we know there is always going to be something on which to blame the complexity and complication of our lives.

Posted by Pat on April 3, 2022 in Uncategorized |

It’s a fact of life. We don’t get to choose all that life throws at us, but we do get to choose how we use it! We can choose to see what happens to us as good or bad, pleasant or distasteful, a blessing or a curse. It’s all a matter of how we choose […]

How about you? “Look before you leap” or…“He who hesitates is lost”? What about “Hitch your wagon to a star” or…“Don’t bite off more than you can chew”? What about “The […]

Good advice comes from everywhere (and everyone!) and we often find it humorous just because it’s true!

We do know this! But I do think that it is even more important that we know… As Eckhart Tolle said, “The clouds are what happens, what comes and goes.” Life is no different than the weather. Not only is it unpredictable, but it shows us a new perspective of the world every day. The […]

Posted by Pat on February 13, 2022 in Uncategorized |

A flower doesn’t stop being beautiful just because somebody walks by without noticing it, nor does it cease to be fragrant if its scent is taken for granted.
