  • The Call

    You hear it screaming in your head. It is the call to action. Yet, you shrink and shirk the responsibility. You are afraid of what answering that call might mean. You know that it is for you. Every direction that you turn, evidence of that call exists. Yet, you fail to acknowledge it and take…

  • I am Vain

    There is nothing so agonizing to the fine skin of vanity as the application of a rough truth. -Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton Recently, I discovered that I am vain. In no way, shape or form would I ever consider myself as “buff” or “handsome” or any other extraordinary descriptive term. I do not consider myself ugly…

  • The beginning

    Today is the day that started it all. It is the day when the story began, 55 years ago. It has taken many twists and turns and many different avenues. Throughout them all, there is a story. One I have been not only telling but living. The thing about living the story is you often…
