Choose Hope
I have some core beliefs that have emerged over the years and though I struggle keeping them in ‘gear’ in my head and heart, I believe they are the most powerful things in life a man or woman can have. Love and Hope Maybe they go hand in hand, maybe not, but Hope is the […]
Perspective
In this last week, my neighborhood has exploded with a veritable number of Bradford Pear Tree flowers. It appears, either by design or by accident, that there are literally 100’s of these trees within a 5 block radius of where I live. With this time of year, we’ve had the gales of March blow through […]
The Inspiration of Hope and Release
The Inspiration of Hope and Release I was inspired to think the other morning, as I was walking in the dark, that it was time for ‘change’ again. There was ice on all of the trees and grass, coated like candy on a stick, which made the grass and limbs lean down as if to […]
Deep Down Bother
Deep Down Bothered. I am writing this more as a open forum this week. As you might remember, I started exercising back last October, with the goal to lose weight. I was tipping the scales at almost 300 lbs, and was miserable. I can report good news that I am down over 60 pounds and […]
Let It Count
Recently, I was driving down ‘Bootlegger’ road, which is a combination of winding curves, and a long arrow straight ribbon of asphalt that leads you north, out of Great Falls, Montana. My job takes me to the ‘Big Sky’ country a number of times per year. For me, it’s always a place of reflection. There […]
Let’s Pray He Isn’t Like His Father
The mystery of being a male and having to ‘attack, conquer’ or ‘master’ everything is not something I have succeeded in expressing well. I try very hard to ‘illustrate’ my thoughts from time to time… okay, anytime I tell my boss something, he puts his feet on his desk, because he knows anything and everything […]
‘Plane’ Foolishness
On a wonderful sunny day with light winds, and small puffy clouds between 3500 and 5500 hundred feet, I headed out for another day of flight training. It was perfect flying weather. I was to take off and fly to our practice area, north of our school’s airport, to work on stalls, steep turns, and […]
A Walk Back in Time
If you were given the chance to walk back in time, would you really do it? I came as close to this as possible last Friday, February 7th 2014. One of the many joys of being a Author of Children’s Books, are events called ‘Author Days’. This is a highlight event in many schools. It […]
Shadows of the Heart
The heart to me, is like a miniature sun in our lives, and with every interaction we have, the light from the heart leaves shadows, or impressions on our minds and souls. The heart is also a precious commodity that needs to be protected and guarded as a precious jewel. It is unique and there […]
Life… Not Just for Kids!
I grew up in Greensboro, NC back in the 60’s and 70’s. Here was where my family lived ‘till we moved to Raleigh, NC back in late 70’s. I am not sure about you, but now that I am officially an ‘adult’, I think back to the wonderful magic of childhood and miss it. It […]
