KISS – Keep It Simple Stupid.

My dad used to say that a lot. I didn’t understand it when he did. I was a kid. What did I know about running a business, or even life for that matter.

Dad died just a few months after my college graduation and in the 25 years since he has been gone I have used that expression to help shape how I live my life, or at least try to live it.

Maybe it’s silly of me, but in a way I think it’s how I have kept him with me all these years. It’s how my husband, my children and yes, even me as the adult I never was while he was alive, got the chance to know him. 

KISS is how I imagine my dad ran his business.

KISS is how I imagine he would answers many of the questions about life I never got to ask.

KISS is how I kept the spirit, the attitude and the love of my dad with me, always.
