Better breathing

December 29, 2022

A very young cowboy is reading a terrific book entitled Breath by James Nestor. I’ve known for a long time that I snore, have sleep apnea, and that both are not conducive to optimum living.

We’ve known since childhood that a balloon is an inanimate object. To bring it to life, one must take it in their hands and fill it with life giving air. So it is with dreams. We are called to take an inanimate object and animate it with clear intention, focused effort, and unstoppable belief. Without […]

Coach Bus Bergman

December 20, 2022

He was a kind and good hearted man. Bus Bergman was a coach, mentor and decorated war hero from World War 2. I was reading Buzz Bizzinger’s excellent book entitled The Mosquito Bowl, when he mentioned our renowned and totally unassuming baseball coach at Mesa Junior College. I’ll encourage you to read this incredible book […]

Why didn’t I think of this?

December 2, 2022

Sally and her very young cowboy husband love to kick back and watch Shark Tank. Tonight’s episode was a classic. A couple from Loveland strode onstage to introduce their product/contraption. They, like most of us, are fascinated by hummingbirds. So, to get an up close and personal look at these fantastic, feathered friends, one just […]
