Day 017 – The Greatest Job of a Parent

I gained an 8yr old son through marriage and had a son that same year. Jumping straight into parenthood was challenging and a beautiful thing all at the same time. I loved the idea of having these little people that I could pass knowledge down to. Over a decade later, I’m still teaching all the while praying that they get at least some of what I’m trying to give. One of the greatest jobs of parents is to leave your children with no excuses.

Day 016 - All Dreams Begin with a Dreamer

I’ve always been a quiet thinker. I’ve accomplished most of the things I’ve imagined or dreamed to do in life. I understand that I am a dreamer. I am ok with my imagination running wild and on more than a few occasions, I envision myself doing the impossible. I am a dreamer after all and, “All dreams begin with a dreamer.”

Day 015 - Not Allowed to Be Scared

As I look back on my upbringing, I recall so many moments and situations where fear would take over my soul it seemed.

Day 014 – Living the Wrong Life

I was watching a show on tv and heard someone say “I don’t want to live the wrong life and then die.” I thought how powerful the statement was. It forces one to deal with themselves almost like looking in the mirror and really analyzing self. I wondered how any of us knows if we are living the right or wrong life. I’m willing to bet that we can all feel when something is off. I remember sitting in my car in the parking deck at my old office.

Day 013 – Difficult Does Not Mean Impossible

I forgot to load a podcast episode on Sunday. I’m not even sure how it happened. I publish to multiple platforms and have a process that I usually follow. Only this time I scheduled more than a week in advance and more than likely set the publish date incorrectly. No worries episode 55 on all podcast platforms now. Operating multiple podcast and web series is not for the faint of heart. Let’s call it difficult. All things were once considered difficult until someone figured a process to make them easy.
