It is one of the most delightful pieces of text committed to manuscript. It’s an outline of what love is and it is the kind of love that transcends what a lot of times we think it is. This passage was read at the wedding of my wife and I and I have also heard […]
Read More About The Three That RemainJust thinking out loud. “We’re in a results driven business.” “At the end of the day, it’s what you bring in that matters.” “You know you have to take responsibility for the situation and believe you can turn it around.” Success is measured by the tangibles and the stats don’t lie. The attendance has dropped […]
Read More The Business We’re InShe says she prefers things to be simple. She didn’t like the drama and the fuss. She was not keen on the politics and the backstabbing.

Read More When We Gather … What Was, What Is, What Can Be, What Will BeThere is something about being in their company. There was food. Decent food too. Drinking. Good drinks too. One person would ask a question and before in no time at all there was a conversational flow. Sometimes autobiographical, sometimes instructional, sometimes humorous, sometimes profound.

Read More When We Gather … A Few Key IngredientsNobody’s perfect, we’re only human. That statement is a relief for some people. That statement is an excuse for other people.
