Do The Hokey Pokey

Driving home from Vancouver Island we see a lot of vehicles. Some rather ordinary and not noticed other than safety awareness, some uniquely attracting eyes and attention. One of these vehicles had a number of bumper stickers,

one thanking our troops, another asking us to let God into our lives, one supporting a sports team. And this one:

It got me thinking. Probably scared me a little bit. What if the hokey pokey IS what it’s all about? So I got out my iPad and googled the subject.

Guess what I found out? The hokey pokey IS what it’s all about!!!

I found this wonderful article from Patt Schwab. Patt is a Seattle based professional speaker and trainer. She speaks on the topics of managing change and using humor to enhance workplace competence.

I invite you to share in her funny yet incisive look at the hokey pokey as a parable of life.

  I loved it when I found it … all from a silly bumper sticker!! My favorite line was “eagles may soar
  but weasels aren’t sucked into jet engines” even that is so not me!
