Dreams Die Hard!
Dreams . . . dreams that are worth pursuing; dreams that possess potential to be life-altering; dreams that take up residence deep in one’s soul die hard. Sometimes they never die! They smoulder and simmer. They bubble and boil. They rumble and roll. They keep one awake at night. They lift with anticipation. They drop […]
Free Will!
Free Will! If you grew up going to church you likely heard quite a bit about the concept of Free Will! Now don’t check out on me just yet! I’m not taking this thought in the direction associated with those teachings! I’m taking it in another! One of my favorite authors is Dean Koontz and […]
What We Leave Behind!
The late Stephen Covey wrote that we should “Live, love, laugh, leave a legacy.” Now at first glance each of us might go through a little mental checklist. It might go something like this: “Live? Yeah I do that most of the time! Laugh? Absolutely! Especially when the joke is funny! Love? I sure do […]

Defining Greatness!
The Crow Nation has a proverb that states, “You already possess everything necessary to become great!” That is “Simply” Profound! How often do we find ourselves playing the “If/Then or When/Then Game?” You know . . . the one that begins with “If I could just have _____ then I could be great!” or “When […]
Gratitude!
Greetings! On Thursday June 6, 2013 I celebrated my 60th year on this rock! It doesn’t seem possible that I have been around that long but I have! All I have to do is look in the mirror to be reminded of as much! As I think about this milestone day one word comes to […]
