Strawberry Raincoat
and yard work in the rain In the beginning of the week, I asked my little one to pick up sticks with me over the weekend. When the weekend finally arrived, I told her it was raining.

And Together
We can’t all be good at everything. This is partly the logic behind having a team in the first place, so each role can be filled with the person best suited for that role and together, every job and every strength is covered. Simon Sinek Tonight I want to share my instagram post here. BeingContinue reading “And Together”
Make a Life
Don’t let making a living prevent you from making a life. John Wooden I have always loved the quote. I never knew who said it until today.

But You
There’s going to be days when you screw up. I don’t like those days, most of us don’t. On those days I want to crawl into a hole and hide until it all blows over. Believe it or not, I used to shame myself with my own weird self-punishing rituals like not allowing myself myContinue reading “But You”

Mother’s Day
The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother. Theodore Hesburgh Tomorrow is mothers day! Just a reminder. I love my mama to the moon and back. When I was little I was stuck to her hip and I’m still very close to her. I’m so grateful toContinue reading “Mother’s Day”
Hope and Saving Lives
No, I’m not interested in politics. I have zero interest. I have interest in hope and people. Jay-Z I don’t listen to enough Jay-Z but I can appreciate these words for what they are right here. I do appreciate hope in most things. What is there if we don’t envision a better future for ourselvesContinue reading “Hope and Saving Lives”
