What a Predicament!

We are in a predicament.

I am reading a book by John C. Maxwell, called The Difference Maker. There is some good information in here, like how to know whether you have a problem or a predicament. Also how to handle Fear, Solve Problems, Manage Change, and more.

Predicament comes to us from Latin. It means an awkward or inconvenient situation.

Some synonyms: dilemma, quagmire, pickle or jam. I love these!

For a review of the book, see Verbal Impact.

Sneak Peek

This is the second time I've seen peek misspelled.

Twice, I've gotten email messages giving me a "sneak peak" at something. I could be wrong, but when I went to school, a peak was the top of a mountain. There could be a Sneak Peak, but more common would be a name like Pike's Peak. So why are we tempted to use peak instead of peek?

Peek is a noun which means a brief look, or a furtive look.

Spell check and even Grammar check will not detect this error.

If you want a sneak peek at my January newsletter, just check out my website, Enlightened Hypnosis dot com. If you want a beautiful panoramic view, go find a mountain!
