Be Who You Are
Who are you? I mean, who are you, really? Who are you in the dark recesses of your being where the light of day is rarely, if ever seen? Really, who are you? This question is so cliché we almost never give it any real focused thought. It is a question for those people who …
When the Excitement Fades
A new project is so exciting. All the possibility lies in front of us. We haven’t started the grind yet. We haven’t started to hard work to make the vision a reality. Everything is exciting. Then we can have a moment, day, week, month or year where you get into a self-doubt funk? Do you …

They can inspire hope. They can move you to action. I will never forget my father giving me Bartlett’s Big Book of Quotations. I loved that book. Loved …
