Forgetfulness
I wish I could forget. I truly do. I feel like it would’ve propelled me forward and quicker. My kids amaze me with how quickly and often they apply forgetfulness. Let me explain. A couple of weeks ago, my son and I went on an overnight camping trip with the entire 5th-grade class at his…

Life of the Party
Caller: “What’s up, man? How are you?” Me: “I’m cool. What’s up?” Caller: “Did you hear anything about Brad passing away?” A wave of numbness crossed my tongue as I held a shallow breath.

Fanfare for the Uncommon Man
The week has been interesting, to say the least. I’ve tried to cry a couple times in an effort to feel better, but my account is in the negative. I virtually attended the funeral of a band upperclassmen that I went to high school with. He was a kind guy and was loved by many. …

The Nudge We All Need
The elephant in the room says I haven’t been posting much. Who asked you, Ms. Elephant? Honestly, I probably wouldn’t have posted tonight, but I got a nudge from an unexpected source . More about that in a moment. First, Let me explain where I’ve been. My last post was published on October 23, 2019…

FEAR: I Don’t Want To Lose You
Before we begin: I started this series called “FEAR” two years ago this month. It has done me some good and hopefully has helped you recognize motivations in your own lives. I have been learning more about myself as a result of delving into fear more than I ever have. It’s a beautiful thing,…

Hello, it’s me.
No, not like the Todd Rungren 1972 classic (although it’s groovin’). It has been quite a while since I’ve written anything here. There’s quite a lot going on. This past week, I quietly celebrated 8 years of writing for Give Love Live More. Wow! That’s something. I’ve written a little, I’ve written a lot and…
