Keep Going – A Tribute to Coach Tony Ingle
My best friend died of COVID-19 this week. My heart has ripped apart, consumed by grief, a fogginess clouding my brain ever since I received the news. Coach Tony Ingle got hit early December 2020 with the virus and called to tell me he wasn’t feeling so great. As always, we laughed through the fear […]
Adapt
The swivel chair of 2020 continues even in 2021. Whether we call it The Pivot, the Bounce, or the “fight your way out of a corner”, we have all had to adjust, rearrange, and adapt to what now is. The Christmas and New Years break came to a welcome end as the children returned […]
Property Line Living
Question: Did it snow recently where you live? Most likely you’ve been hit by either heavy snow, piles of leaves, or other needs to clean up around the yard. In the past week I have received more emails, texts, and messages on Facebook about “Property Line Living” than any reference I’ve written about in […]
The Year 2020
“Worst Year Ever!” “Can’t wait until this one’s over!” “The Dumpster Fire that is 2020.” Plenty of lines and ways to describe a most indescribable year. We’ve heard them all, and said most of them, in an effort to put into words what has been experienced. I believe it is justified, so don’t […]
No. 15 Scores
No photos of this one, but I witnessed something beautiful this afternoon. You know, when special moments are shared on the news because they’re the feel good kind? That’s what I saw, in person. My son’s middle school basketball game. Things weren’t going well for the opposing team, as we played on their home […]
Black Out Curtains
A few weeks ago, about 2 minutes before a very important ZOOM meeting began where I was the Keynote Speaker for over 1,000 attendees, something went completely out of my control. No, it wasn’t my dog barking…I had already placed her out back in our yard so she can ruff ruff ruff her head off […]
Your Calling: How Do You Know If You’re Living It?
Imagine this scenario: You are considered THE BEST in the world at your chosen profession – according to critics, peers, well known in the public – and suddenly you MUST change your career. Does this thought excite you, or terrify you? If it is YOUR choice, then it’s a great thing! If it’s […]
Garbage in Escalante
When I receive emails like the one you’re about to read, it about makes my heart explode with joy! (I also know, that for every one email I receive, there are potentially hundreds that didn’t share their story of doing good, which is the same as comments on a video, blog, or other. So, […]
The Joy of Walking
Come on a walk with me. Let’s talk. There is great JOY in the morning walk, I’ve found, and hope you’ve so discovered as well. As summer comes to a close and a chill greets each morning, it has been a delight to have the morning walk fill this summer pandemic, to feel the […]
Interview with My Dad
We thought he would be dead at 63 due to genetics and his health… Now, 68 and still going strong, imagine having the chance to interview your Dad for over an hour and discuss your family history, his challenges and trials, and help create awareness of his business. My post/video about getting better sleep […]
