Risk

March 5, 2018

There are 30,000 days in your life. When I was 24, I realized I’m almost 9,000 days down. There are no warm-ups, no practice rounds, no reset buttons. Your biggest risk isn’t failing, it’s getting too comfortable. Every day, we’re writing a few more words of a story. I wanted my story to be an […]

Oh Yeah

Life is hard, but there are moments, sometimes hours – and, if you’re really lucky, full days – where everything feels just right. Andy Grammer

Vision

March 5, 2018

Children are always looking at the world as if it was for the first time in their lives. So, we should always look to the world with the eyes of a child. I am not saying be naive, I am saying be innocent in the sense of discovering things. Paulo Coelho

One amazing kid

March 5, 2018

A good friend told a very young man about an incredible high school wrestler from Pueblo. Aaden Valdez finished 5th at state in his freshman year. Last summer, Valdez lost four fingers on his left hand and his left eye in a fireworks accident. You would think that was the end of the young man’s […]

Today

I cannot even imagine where I would be today were it not for that handful of friends who have given me a heart full of joy. Let’s face it, friends make life a lot more fun. Charles R. Swindoll  

Spring

March 3, 2018

There is no time to lament the changing of the seasons…especially when spring is right around the corner.    

A Special Hall of Famer

March 2, 2018

There was a neat special on the news this week about former Notre Dame basketball star Adrian Dantley. AD played for five NBA teams and was a force to be reckoned with. If he played today, Dantley would easily make $20 million per season. One might think that a Hall of Famer who made millions […]

Heaven sent

You really think that it was just happenstance…that the one beside you…who loves and supports you…who has banished the word lonely from your dictionary just drifted into your life? Think again.

Cowboys have a certain swag about them. It’s clear that it is with them from an early age…that it only grows stronger as the years go by.

Olympic Madness

February 21, 2018

We really like you, Mike Tirico…you are an excellent choice to replace Bob Costas in hosting the Olympics telecast. That being said, whoever is in charge of programming should receive a one way ticket to North Korea. The number of commercials, filler interviews, and incessant moving from one event to another has been maddening. The […]

Gratitude

February 21, 2018

Elizabeth McCourt has a verbal booster shot for her students. The seldom used but powerful statement… ‘I love my life.’ Imagine the life of one who says that every day compared to one who reaches their final days having never uttered those four simple words.  

Songbird

Be as a bird perched on a frail branch that she feels bending beneath her, still she sings away all the same, knowing she has wings. Victor Hugo

Lucky day

February 21, 2018

‘Listen, Mr. Frisky…you don’t know how lucky you are that it is siesta time. Why…just the other day I feasted on one of your furry friends. Now do yourself a favor and skedaddle back where you came from before I get hungry again.’

Smile
