My kids are already better humans than I was at their age. But that doesn’t stop me from expecting and hoping for more from them. My beautiful bride and I have worked tirelessly for 20 years to prepare and provide for them. We have tried to raise them to strive for better. Not better stuff,Continue reading “Letting Go”

We all need help
This time of year is by far the most critical and stressful in my job. The future and profitability of my company depends greatly on the success of this summer time deadline. And while there are teams of people working to ensure this success, it is my area of responsibility. If I fail to forecastContinue reading “We all need help”
Freedom in Surrender
I am fascinated by the paradox of control. Some of us want to dictate every single detail of our lives. Some of us want to just go with the flow, and not make any real decisions. And none of us think that either way of life is great. For those who have the need toContinue reading “Freedom in Surrender”
Truth
We all hear that voice. The one that speaks directly to us, and nobody else hears. It whispers, it shouts, it bleeds in and it drowns out. It has the ability to grab our attention when we are the most focused and determined. It sounds differently to all of us, but it is always there.Continue reading “Truth”
If we stop talking
For just a moment, put aside your politics. For just a moment, open your mind to ideas that may not align with the views you have inherited or grown on your own over your lifetime. For just a moment, free yourself from the predisposed point of view. For just a moment, put aside your anger.Continue reading “If we stop talking”

But outside of that many of us draw an instant comparison and wonder why we didn’t receive the reward or achieve the happiness or earnContinue reading “Share Joy”
217 vs. 218

On our way my wife and I had a great conversation with our youngest son about his future. Without gettingContinue reading “217 vs. 218”
A Father’s Love
Kids say the darnedest things. When they are young and brutally honest, we make light of the moments where they point out an obvious observance that make the adults all weird and uncomfortable. But as they get older, their words can carry more weight and power. By the time they are young adults, they canContinue reading “A Father’s Love”
Overwhelmed
Sometimes I get overwhelmed. Not just stressed. But completely paralyzed by the weight of everything that depends on me or my action. I feel like the worlds worst bottleneck. Countless decisions or tasks that require my immediate attention. Every direction I turn, there is another task to do or another decision to make. Occasionally, thisContinue reading “Overwhelmed”
Love: Just Do It
Love. What a four letter word! We have given many meetings to the word.It can be an intense feeling of deep affection. “My beautiful bride fills me with feelings of love”It can be a deep romantic attachment to someone. “I am in love with her”It can be an affectionate greeting or a way to endContinue reading “Love: Just Do It”
