The limbs of a tree continue to stretch for the duration of its life. I use “limbs” in this column as an example for setting our personal priorities. We can let our arms/limbs stretch for a time but then a good cropping, just like a tree, allows our priorities to maintain a healthy growth cycle.…

As the world turns | Teller Gives Back
These are the days of our lives and as the world turns we thrive.

Time to pass the buck | Teller gives back
You have heard the phrase “the buck stops here” and it may cause you to wonder, “what does that mean?” The basic meaning for the buck stops here is taking responsibility for something and not trying to pass the responsibility on to someone else.
