Today is the first day of the rest of my life. Today, I begin a celebration of my 47th year with renewed spirit and verve.
If you’ve followed this blog, you know this past year has been a difficult one at times for me – all difficulty of my own doing. Last year at this time, I was still recovering from my first health scare (temporary kidney failure). A few months later, my conversation here and offline almost disappeared entirely (3 whole posts in October?). A marriage plummeting south and a life looking fractalized. By March, I was almost ready to throw in a towel and search for a new one.
I’ve put three books in front of me today that, upon a cursory glance, will provide plenty of inspiration.
- The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch
- The Four Agreements by Miguel Ruiz
- Managing with Aloha by Rosa Say
I’ve already begun the first (I so wish I had read this sooner) and will be re-turning the pages of the last (after experiencing the Aloha spirit and visiting with its author earlier this month).
I owe thanks, apologies, and hugs to many – especially those who have stuck with me through this year. More apologies than anything, and those will come soon.
Specifically, heartfelt thanks go to three very special and close friends: Angela, Drew, Adam, Tom, and Laura. Though it may not seem so at times, I am so thankful for you in my life.
Here’s to more engaged conversation with you all, building better relationships through these conversations, and growing within these relationships we build together

I hear it from a lot of business owners: “Where is the ROI with all this Social Media?“ If this is a question you ask yourself, maybe we should work together a bit more. We can work together solo, or via a professional learning community. Find and increase your ROI. There is a “there” there.
