See. Change. Impact.
Today is Easter. Jennifer woke me up at 7:15. Her voice filled with concern. “I’m bleeding.” These are not the words a husband wants to hear from his wife heading into her second trimester with twins. We thought to call Jennifer’s brother, Craig, who’s a doctor. They had a conversation of what to do next. […]

What is that thing … the idea, the vision, the cause you believe in that you’re not acting on? What might happen if you lived as if you were willing to die to make that thing real? Might you find new hope, new promises, new life? Which is worth more – creating the idea, the […]

I’ve heard that if sharks stop moving they die. Everything that exists in our world demonstrates movement. Rocks move. Even if it’s just at the molecular level. The cool thing is that we get to choose how we move. We get to choose where we move. Rocks are not so lucky. The word […]

Yes or No. Black or White. One or Zero. I will do it. I will not do it. The job is done or it’s not done … complete or incomplete. I had a habit of using conditions and qualifiers in my speech (and I still fight this habit). I can weave a winding sentence […]

I was standing on top of a 40 foot cliff. It was my turn to jump. I hate heights. My friends were calling for me to jump. Too late to turn back now. I launch into a head first dive. My gut gets that feeling of having a wet towel twisted inside. Then I […]
