I KNOW YOUR NAME
You Know Who You Are ... Who You Truly Are (Moana) Not your title, that's what you do. Not your possessions, that's what you own. Not your circumstances, that's what you experience. So much swirling around your head constantly telling you who you are coming from all...
LUCKY PENNY
"See a penny, pick it up. All day long you'll have good luck." I still do it. If I see a coin on the road, I'll pick it up. Like stop dead in my tracks, traffic whizzing by, bend down and claim my prize. Even now, it produces the same initial reaction as years ago,...
PARADISE
"I love my garden", not to be confused with, "I love to garden." Tried it once. Never caught on with me. I know; I know. It takes practice, intentional attempts to form a habit but I don't wanna, so I'm not gonna. However, non-participation has not kept me from...

FUN IN THE ‘HAM
Monthly Assessment - Say Yes Daylight Savings Time came swooping in bringing with it what seemingly feels like a whole lot more time to experience Fun in The 'Ham. These are some of my favorites: Church Street Coffee & Books: Open Mic Night every other Monday and...
DON’T JUST DO SOMETHING … SIT THERE!
HUH? 🤔 Intentional Living Response versus Reaction ... Action for action's sake is a reaction to someone else's prompting or your own insecurities. Stepping out into action even in the midst of not knowing every move forward is a response; there is a decision being...
WHY?
The most important thing a man can take into combat ... is a reason why. Awareness ... It Starts Here. Make Choices. Keep Going. Change Course. Decide. Acknowledge. Experience The Now. Be Present. "Nothing 'just happens' in the zip code of Awareness." Soul Speak: The...
