I hope this new year is off to a great start for you and yours. I was going to write about ‘new beginnings and all of the resolutions’ we make at this time every year. However, just as I sat down at my desk to write, I read this amazing blog written by my good friend Ron Culberson. He says it much better than I ever could. I don’t know about you, but I’m going to take his advice!

Read MoreI first met Joan Brock in 1998 on a long fight from Dallas to Singapore. We were both speaking at a conference there, and with 21 hours of flying time ahead of us, I had lots of time to get to know this amazing gal.
Here’s a quick overview of Joan’s story:

It was real-life, and rarely do we see it played out as we did on Tuesday night when Mariano Rivera took the field in the bottom of the 8th inning to protect the lead for the American League in Major League Baseball’s All Star Game.

Well…this past January, I realized I had not been “walking my talk,” and over the holidays, I packed on 20 pounds!
My parents are safely settled into their new digs in Nashville, Tennessee…and as you can see from this pic, it looks like they are TOTALLY EMBRACING this new “path unwinding” in their CIRCLE OF LIFE.
