Hello from the road, Sunday on the road is not a preference, but it’s the reality of my last 11 days. As I begin this post, we are on 80W almost to North Platte, NE.

Consumption versus Creation
Hello from a hospital waiting room, Before you worry, it is not for me. I am visiting. It’s been a fabulous couple days weather wise, and the weekend predicts more of the same.

It allowed me to consider the role we haveContinue reading “Letting Them “Succeed” on Their Terms”
