I recently read that Hurricane Ian was responsible for a little over 100 deaths. This was the second deadliest storm this century. While even one death is sad and tragic, I got to thinking about the millions of lives that were saved by responding to the news of the impending storm and taking appropriate action…
1. A salute to ALL that have served our country… Today is Veteran’s Day! A HUGE thank you goes out to ALL those who have served our country. We tend to take our freedom for granted, but MUST remember those who sacrificed their lives, or put their lives on the line, by serving in our…
If I ask you what you remember most about your childhood, it will not be things, it will be experiences. It wasn’t the bike you got as a gift that you remember, it was riding that bike through the neighborhood with your best friend. It wasn’t the hotel you stayed at in Florida that’s burned…
1. Therapy I’m committing more time to… There is a lot of talk about Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) these days. It is a way to subject a person to higher levels of oxygen under high pressure to increase the oxygen content of the blood. It is known for its use with scuba divers suffering with…

I was very fortunate to have been born into the family that I was born into. Much of life, and success in life, depends on planning, commitment, and hard work, and luck usually isn’t a primary factor. But in terms of where, and to whom you are born, your goal setting, positive attitude, and work…
1. Inspiring clip I watched this week… One of my best buddies sent me a 1-minute clip of entrepreneur Ed Mylett in an interview talking about something that inspired him. I loved it! I watched it several times, and it hit me just as hard each time. I can’t imagine anyone not being moved at…
If you see a plant that’s wilting, you know it’s in bad shape. The leaves are soft and shriveling, it lacks its vibrant green color, and it is drooping. You know it is either deficient in something or toxic with something. There is something keeping this plant from thriving. The world is full of people…
1. Concerning thing I saw this week… While on a flight to Austin this week, I picked up the magazine provided by United Airlines.
