BJ The Crab Guru
In June our family knocked off a few more states in our motorhome that had eluded us for years even though they are close to our home.

Birthday Tomorrow
I turn 46 tomorrow. To some that is young, to others that is old. By definition, this is midlife. If I look at where I am too critically I could be quite devastated at what I set out to accomplish early in life that has yet to be attained – The elusive things, like […]
The Best Fathers Day Presents
Christmas Day was nearly 6 months ago (this next week), and it has been that long since I have enjoyed the gifts that keep on giving in our home. That cold wintry morning, as presents were strewn about the house, wrapping paper piled high, the kids were thrilled with what we had given them, […]

His partner, the inspiring and lovely Julia Bonilla, was […]
I Am Who I Am That is That
This past week I was reintroduced to this most powerful and uplifting song: “I Am Who I Am That is That”. It came on the heels of receiving another round of very hurtful comments, messages, and other difficult things people send me due to my writings, opinions on social media, and leadership roles across […]
The Never-Ending Thank You Gift
