Opportunity or Disaster? The Bane of Change
A fog rolled in, quietly slithering in low to the ground, imperceptible at first until it was too late to escape the chill soup. It’s not You, it’s the It! What the…? Do you even know what you’re talking about? It! It’s the It, man! You’ve got it, and typically, we’ve all got it in…

Eeyore Rules, Piglet, Pooh, and Roo too!
I had the rare privilege to catch a beautiful prize. We puzzle, observe, tweak, and tune in an effort to lure that mother into sight. Ah, but she is elusive, slippery, clever, and sly as she dances in and out from the shadows. Not tonight though, no! She bathed there in the moonlight, clear as…

Surrender | Trust, Faith, Love | Personal Reflections
I’ve broke promises already made to myself with this blog. I recall one of my earliest posts said I’d post something daily, and that hasn’t happened.

How Could It Be?
Yesterday I shared a significant insight from my own journey. It’s interesting to note that often a powerfully resistant question crops up almost immediately. “What do you mean?” It is a powerful disbelief because this realization places even more responsibility on my doorstep than I had otherwise felt real. This is where the sh1t has…

Where ya been?
Ha! I said I’d be posting something every day. Did you see what happened over the weekend? Nothing! Absolutely nothing! I had time, or could have made time, I’m sure. So what happened? I see hidden in the corner of my [[consciousness]], this petulant brat who wants to snub his nose at all the demands…

Accountability’s Trick
Accountability is taking ownership, or personal responsibility, for circumstances brought about through their conduct, or choices. There are so many occurrences in our lives where we are called to make decisions, that thousands and millions of decisions were made without even thinking consciously about them. Sort of like flicking away an annoying insect while engrossed…

Conversations
I’ve been involved in conversations about emotions lately. Anger, communication, response versus reaction. I’ve enjoyed the flow and depth the conversations have taken. Having dived deeply into the emotional pool feared by many men, I have come to gain considerable understanding from my own experiences. Many times, I have shared stories with others, both men…
