Go do what you are supposed to do.

Everyone is an EXPERT at parenting before they have kids.

Everyone is an EXPERT at what their boss should do before they get promoted.

Everyone is an EXPERT at what that NFL receiver should have done to catch the ball from the couch.

Only those IN THE ARENA count.

Or are you going to face the issue with courage and with resolution?

At the Rome airport, making my way home after 3 weeks.

Spent the last 10 days visiting my father in the intensive care unit of a Rome hospital (courtesy of some virus that’s going around)

5 New Year’s resolutions that don’t require you to change anything external:

1. Accept yourself more deeply.
2. Speak to yourself more gently.
3. Forgive yourself more quickly.
4. Treat people more kindly.
5. Love others less conditionally.

BE the example…..

I tweet positive, encouraging things 99% of the time but man my heart hurts today.

This family is amazing.

Best decisions of my life (including the pup 😀)

Incredible news – Amy Chang (BONDENAVANT) has generously offered to match all gifts made by midnight in recognition of #NationalAdoptionDay , up to $6,000, to help us reach our $40,000 goal. Will you make 2x the impact and #GiveToday ? bit.ly/DTFA_NAM_2023

And now for a very serious post.

My stern Catholic father forced me to give my baby up for adoption.
She found me on New Year’s Day 2021 and we’ve been in constant contact ever since.

Iron Will loves Christmas! I mean, LOVES it!

Probably because JOY and HOPE are innate to his dynamic larger-than-life spirit!
