Some things reward late

This week I traveled for some business; I was fortunate enough to have a sibling living in the general area that I traveled to, so I had a place to crash. One of my business associates was not so fortunate, therefore they had no place to stay. I pulled up an app for Hilton Hotels…

Raw Artistry

I am grateful for the raw artistry and creative nature on this planet… oddly enough, I find I have a lot of time to witness quite a bit of it lately. Like watching the amazing Amanda Palmer stream a birthday celebration for herself today from NZ… Or learning a bit more about vaginas – they…

New Beginnings

Today I am grateful for the chance that I receive every day to begin a new life. I thank the creator every morning for allowing me to live a new day. Make the most of it! If you are going to complain about your current situation, take some time to reflect on what is good…

Dinner with mi familia

Besides having a fairly pleasant day, I am grateful for ending the evening having dinner with mi familia. With the proper social distance in place. It’s all good – I love ’em so!

Life!

Today is an absolutely beautiful day! Sitting out on my front patio, enjoying the sun….it doesn’t matter what happened today, yesterday, last month or last year. Right here, right now…life is good! I am grateful for the beauty that surrounds me! Peace!

Brother & Sisters

Tonight I was surprised by a video chat with my sisters and brother. We were brought together by Leah to share in Mavis’ version of Purple Rain from last night’s Grammy special. If you’re not grateful for the legacy and majesty of Prince; damn, fool, I can’t help you! And if you’re not grateful for…

Never Forget

Today I watched a video of my Aunt Susie telling the story of her husband’s life as a child, escaping from Nazi Germany and eventually ending up in the United States. She is not my real Aunt; not related by blood, but in her story she mentions that my Uncle Gunther, her husband, had two…

resilience

I’ve been searching for something to write about… that I am grateful for today. It started out alright… but work is /spärs/; has been for a while – in the sense that I haven’t found mine yet. And motivation is taking a lot these days. I find the spark between a man and a woman,…

Business as Usual?

The global pandemic, COVID-19, has really changed the business landscape. Here in the United States of America, there are state Governors who are telling us that there is going to be a “new normal”. I am not sure what that means. Going forward we will no longer be able to sit in a crowded restaurant?…

Lighten Up

Tonight I am grateful for lightening up… enjoying flirtatious banter; being a bit vulnerable. Feeling the pain when it hits – and letting it go when it quits. It is all part of this wonderful roller coaster called life… (Anyone remember the movie, Parenthood?) And as I think of “Lighten Up” tonight, i think of…

Coaching….

Today I am very grateful for all of the people who are coaching or have coached me in this life. There are too many of them to mention. I have learned from my athletics coaches and I have learned from life coaches. I suppose that I should include my business mentors in the group as…

All the people

Tonight I am grateful for humanity, the courageous, chilling, wonderful story we write together. It is filled with Hope. I am grateful to be a part of it… which isn’t always the case. My brother and I were talking this early evening about life challenges; and being happy one is alive.
