A Story Of Letting Go, A Car, Some Crying, and Clarity For 2022

I donated my old car to a charity yesterday. My 2005 Galant GTS. Truthfully I’m not a car guy but when I bought that car it was a big deal. All leather, V6, heated seats… I felt next level cool. That was 17 years ago. It was a great fit…

Three 2020 Life Lessons Courtesy Of My Frayed Cell Phone Charger

Life imitating cell phone chargers… I was sitting at my desk yesterday hammering the phones for work when I noticed my iPhone charger. It’s funny what you don’t notice when you’re in your own “fog of war”. I couldn’t help but think, what a perfect visual for the last 6…

What A Blurry 6 Year Old Facebook Picture Reminded Me About Hard Years and Friendship

There’s very little I like about social media these days. Now and again though, something I see on one of the platforms that stops me in my tracks. That’s what happened yesterday in the form of a Facebook “memory”. It was a picture from 6 years ago. For whatever reason…
