Is that I love my babies. My family. My dog. My wife. My close friends. For all my faults as a parent and spouse and sister my love for the people and creatures in my life is unwavering. It can’t be diminished or hidden. And sometimes it overwhelms me. When I lose someone I...

When you know you’ve done right. When everything comes together. It seems like destiny. Such a beautiful sweet thing to experience firsthand. Believing in someone. Fostering that belief in them. Seeing them grow and face new challenges. Taking a step forward. Few things feel quite so good as helping someone live their best life....

There are moments in life when a change is needed. There’s a lack of growth. You stagnate. You’ve pushed the limits and come up against a ceiling. It’s time to move on. Move up. Step up. This is what ready is. You won’t nail all the interview questions. Or have the perfect intro for...

An interesting thing happened tonight. I opened up my gmail and had somehow emailed myself a post from April 22. A post about my dad. I thought I had somehow reposted it. But I hadn’t. It was an odd and wonderful thing that happened. Odd because how did it happen? I don’t remember even...
