So, there could have been a lot of things that spurred a change in my behaviors. My father had serious heart problems, a massive heart attack at 54 (quadruple bypass and a valve replacement) and passed away at 63. That could do it. But it doesn't. My brother recently suffered a mild heart-attack at 57. He lives near me. I see the changes he's making. Maybe it should be that. All these wake up calls. But it wasn't. It was something much simpler, much more vane. A tennis bracelet. My wrist is so thick, I cannot wear my tennis bracelet. I can't wear any bracelets.
Live from Colorado…
One of the perks of working for Gogo is that it is a Colorado company. Since I travel to work in person with my manager on a monthly basis, I get the good fortune of going back to where we spent 15 years living to see people I love and care for. My son, my …
The 12th Article of Faith
Most days I am forward focused. I don't often look in the rearview mirror with regret or sadness. I am a person who holds tightly to the belief that whatever may have happened in my past, good or difficult, ultimately these things have shaped me into the person I am today. I had a nearly …
Convicted…
I woke a little late this morning - rare that I would sleep in, but solid sleep wasn't my friend last night. I woke, grabbed my coffee and headed to my writing desk. Most mornings I start my day with some time in prayer and time in the Word, I might write a bit, and …
Disentangled…
Have you ever read something, a book or an article, and discovered a new word that completely unlocked an experience or feeling you've had that you couldn't quite describe before that moment? That happened to me on a recent flight to Colorado. I often use flights to catch up on work or sleep, but last …
The joys of travel…
I have many things to be thankful for, especially when it comes to my career. I’ve spent over nearly 30 years in the legal field, climbing the ladder along the way. A little over a decade ago I moved from working in law firms to the corporate world where I started working for a great …
Graduation…
My baby girl graduated from her Esthetician program yesterday. Five month, 600 hours and a lot of hard work and practice and she's on her way. We are so proud of her. Moving to South Carolina was a tough adjustment for her. She was 17, and in her senior year of high school when we …
Version switch…
Late last year, I decided to make a move; to try something different in my approach to studying the Word. When I left the Mormon religion I walked away from 20 years of reading the King James Version of the Bible, which, quite frankly, I had become pretty adept at reading, but even with that …
The joys of travel…
After being away from home I caught the crud on the plane back to Charlotte. It's not Covid, thankfully, but it is a heck of a sinus cold and I feel yucky for sure. I spent the last week and a half in Denver - first to visit, then to start the new job. I …
2022 comes to a close…
My mother used to warn me that the older you get, the faster time goes by. I'm not sure if there was a truer lesson she imparted to me. 2022 sped by and here we are about to usher in another New Year. As I sit here reflecting -- I'm luke warm about 2022. There …
