What Was Lost Is Now Found

That old TV show “Kids Say The Darndest Things” used to crack me up (and no… I am not old enough to know the Art Linkletter version – just the Bill Cosby remake of it!). Kids do say the darndest things.


 And every now and again, they say something profound. Such was the case with my son, Cody, the other day. So, awhile back, we got our kids phones to carry on them in case of emergency. In this day and age, it just seemed like the smart thing to do. They were nothing fancy, just capable enough to make a call or send a limited text message.

Walking a Mountaintop

Remembering the Mountaintops… 



 I just spent time with my family for Thanksgiving – something millions of people did – and had an incredible experience the morning of Thanksgiving. My sister Kim and I went for a walk. Bear in mind – my sister is a burn survivor who has overcome pretty incredible odds. I survived a near fatal car accident in college that almost left me a quadriplegic. So… when we say we are going for a walk, we are both very aware of what a privilege it is to do so.

Goal Finally Reached



You know that feeling you get when a long-awaited goal is finally achieved?

Whew…

For the last 18 months, I dedicated most of my free time to pursue the writing of a book.   

Yes… that sentence is correct… a book.
