The door to your destiny

I did the mile. Then I rowed the 2k. Then I did the push presses. Of course all that was done after the warmup of bear crawls. During each exercise you think about stopping, quitting or just sitting down but you don’t. Why? Why not? You keep going because it is you with you seeking […]

A bumper sticker from yesterday

As I drove down route 66, the old truck pulled out in front of me. We drove that way for about 5 miles. When we came to a light I noticed the bumper sticker on the rear bumper. “Kennedy/Johnson” Kennedy-Johnson. That election was 1960. So the bumper sticker had to be put on before that […]

The authentic one

I stood before the congregation to reflect on the meaning of a life. One life. One journey. One story. One lesson. You see my friend was an endangered species. Authentic. Genuine. Decent. Comfortable in his own skin. Thoughtful and kind. Wanting to see others succeed. Humble in his accomplishments. I asked what is a legacy. […]

Don’t wait to celebrate

It has been a difficult time in dealing with the loss of a dear friend. I know that it is inevitable. I know that time is an illusion. I know that sometimes it feels like we are just on some big anthill scurrying in and out and up and down, but then you meet one […]

Your own best friend

Good friends. Really good friends. Not acquaintances. Not business related. Just good friends who know the successes, failures, highs, lows, great moments and saddest times and are there with you. No judgments. No speeches. No told you so. Just present with you and being there. But here is the next question…can you be your own […]
