Memories for Midlife and Always
Today, as you stand at the crossroads of your own midlife transition, may that gift of God teach you, too, to remember who you really are in the larger scheme of things and, as the invulnerable spirit that you yourself are, to remember that nothing and nobody can really hurt you (without your permission).

It is important to realize that prior to every great advancement of humankind, the experts of the day would have assured you that it was impossible.

The Sleeping Giant
Recently during a speaking engagement in Hawaii, I had the privilege of touring Pearl Harbor and the Arizona Memorial. It is a moving experience that I would recommend to anyone who has the opportunity to take advantage of it. From time to time, it is good to be reminded that freedom comes at a very high price.
