“Nothing great is ever achieved without much enduring.”
— St. Catherine of Siena
At Baughman Educational Services, we believe endurance and good decision-making go hand in hand—especially when safety is involved.
Yesterday tested both. Snow, slush, high winds, and bitter cold made for a long, challenging drive to our annual R&R reset.
As safety professionals, we practice what we teach. That meant adjusting and pivoting quickly, including making the call to delay our early morning Ohio departure until conditions were more favorable and daylight was available. It wasn’t the fastest choice—but it was the safest one. 🛣️✔️
This morning brought a welcome change: improved road conditions and a break in the weather, captured in this photo taken in North Carolina.
Today’s goals:
☀️ Enjoy the cool, mild weather
🚗 Track down a much-needed car wash
After a somewhat grueling drive, we’re looking forward to a well-earned reset—spending time in national parks across the southern U.S. and visiting family for the holidays. Rest, reflection, and recharging are all part of sustaining the work we do year-round.
Safe travels to everyone on the road—and remember, the right decision is always worth the wait.
