Celebrating Aunt Dianne and the Queen on WPW

Woman Power IconGood morning Lucy,

It’s Woman Power Wednesday and I’m celebrating Aunt Dianne and two of the many special gifts she has given us through the years. First, the now-infamous “Wear a smile, Be a friend.” mantra, which we Singletarys shortened to WASBAF. Here’s a blast from Nuggets past explaining more about WASBAF. That will bring big smiles to everyone!

Second, Dianne gave us the saying, “The Queen of England is coming to dinner!” I thought about that when I saw this little statuette sitting beside the WASBAF sign on the kitchen window sill. This was Dianne’s way of saying show up for dinner dressed appropriately and ready to use your best manners! It will not be long before we all have dinner with the Queen in London!

Lastly, I want you to go back to last Wednesday’s WPW and check out the post postscript I added about Women’s Equality Day. Several good links in that section that are worth exploring when you have a chance.

Much love,

Dad

NUGGETS began in the fall of 2010 when our oldest daughter left for college. (Make it a Great Monday; Stay Whole Tuesday; Woman Power Wednesday; Make Anything Thursday; and Fit as a Fiddle Friday.) All these years later, we have a UGA grad, a SCAD grad, a Fightin’ Texas Aggie grad, and 1500 nuggets. Plus, Mum and Dad up and moved to England. Those are my daughters above, and their guiding light – truly my every gPage Singletary thing.

RELEVANCE: From Beginning to End

How do you find and enjoy a place of purpose when you start your career, throughout your career, and when you stop ‘working’ and use your wisdom, resources, and skills to give back to the world? That’s right, from beginning to end. You don’t have to settle for doing things you do not enjoy.

featured series: Staying in the Game

Dear Harvey: Staying in the Game

In the end, Harvey, you left us your Little Red Book—a lifetime of lessons condensed into something small enough to fit in a pocket, yet broad enough to guide generations. These letters are my attempt, in a much humbler way, to do the same—to gather what the game has taught me so far, and to keep discovering what lies at the edges.

featured series: Lateral Thinking + AI

Lateral Thinking & AI: The Future of Making

Lateral Thinking + AI is a five-part Make Anything Thursday series exploring how artificial intelligence is reshaping not just the tools we use, but the way we think. From systems-level insight to the power of lateral thinking, the series connects AI with the human imagination — showing how creators, leaders, and future makers can thrive in a world where machines accelerate the work and our thinking elevates it.
