Only if. Those words are heard so often as time winds down. Only if …is usually followed by… I had done… Or hadn’t done… Or wasn’t so afraid to try…or said what had to be said…or let the nonsense slide away…or…well you get the drift. Only if are usually words of regret. So how about […]

Hour of the Wolf
Time has always fascinated me. It is so precious and yet so many put it in the back seat as they focus on less important things. Yet, time is the one asset that can never be duplicated or replaced. Each moment could be the last with that special person. The last hug. The last kiss. […]
The flight through what matters
The flight yesterday from Miami to Denver was bumpy, rough, long, and intense at moments as the plane bounced around. Then as we circled over Kansas we were told about delays because of weather but we had enough fuel to make the touchdown. It was dark, overcast and quiet on the flight. It is at […]
The road
We all walk down this road. No way around it. The road may be long, windy, short, potholes, smooth , steep or flat. Usually it is a combination of all of those and more. We meet folks along the way. Some are friends for life and some for just a short part of the walk. […]
No delays in the now
Gifts come in strange packages. We just have to be open to them. I missed my connecting flight from Denver to Birmingham. The Dallas connection didn’t happen by 1 minute. So the 8 pm flight is the flight to catch. 4 hours. Okay…4 hours. Wine, dinner, music, and people watching. A Sunday of watching the […]
Plow the field
There is this choice. A very personal choice. Choose to challenge yourself. Choose to risk failure in order to seize the dream….no matter the age or stage in life. A simple word. Choose. How often we compromise the choice. Why? Does it puzzle you? As we are here longer you would think that choice would […]
The if only choice
A good friend, who wrote a wonderful review of Hour of the Wolf, asked a question at dinner recently in Miami. Nothing like old friends catching up and enjoying the mutual history of the successes, failures and lessons that are life. Three friends toasting and realizing how fortunate we are. Yes, we all went through […]
The unassuming leader
His mind was made for things other than what he did. He was creative. He was witty. He was very smart…not just books but life smart. Yet, life had thrown him a curve ball. Between the depression and illnesses, he settled into the routine of 9-5 work at a factory type setting. Important work but […]
The hour glass
Let’s reframe it. Sit back. Turn off all the gadgets. Shut off all the noise. Enter the silence. The beautiful, lyrical silence. Then turn your attention to the hour glass sitting on the shelf in your mind. The sands in the hour glass. Each one makes a difference. Each piece of sand slowly at first […]
Before you go
Once before I go. Peter Allen. It is just the best. He was always a favorite of mine. Just totally present. The boy from Oz. Can you look back and accept the journey…flaws, errors, glorious mistakes, grand successes, foot in mouth, golden moments, laughter and tears…without regrets. Can you say you tried your best. You […]
