Give pure humanity and see what happens

La'Porsha singing Diamonds — A single mom trying to break free from her situation.

While icing my calf yesterday afternoon, i watched the American Idol recording from the night before. Contestant La’Porsha disrupted the show with a stunning performance.

When judge Keith Urban finally got to speak he referenced a beautiful quote:

“I judge myself not on what i have but what I am willing to give.” What you just gave was pure humanity. It was beautiful.

As if that wasn’t enough, Kelly Clarkson brought everyone to tears three songs later.

PS. Couldn’t find the quote’s (the Keith referenced) author.

PSS. i cried during both songs.

Enlightenment comes and goes as it pleases

WPS HS commons courtyard — Sitting in solitude this second week in February, noticing the barren trees.

Enlightenment comes and goes as it pleases. Often, excellent conditions are right in front of us, even though it seems distant or non-existent.

Couldn’t find attribution for this, but enjoyed discovering it on Facebook while sitting on a High School bench:

The brutal truth?

The beautiful truth?

After 56 years on this planet, a very nice paradox to transform the way i think about honesty, feedback, and coaching.

Sugar is to or too?

Sugar is to desserts and taste, as addictive distractions are to habits and consequences.

Think about it.

Is it worth a 40-year wait?

Epcot icons — So many on-stage icons, but what about backstage?

If ever there was a temple at Disney, certainly Disney University (DU) would be a contender.

Met over lunch hour (neither one of us ate though) at DU.

He wanted to know when i discovered that life isn’t about the money.

Long story, short – it was a process that took about 41 years.

Aha moment just now…

Team Disney — Beautiful morning for a 10-miler.

Reading the daily email subscription highlighting things Jesus said with a modern day explanation to dissect Jesus’s wisdom, i just had this aha moment.

When we sacrifice what we gain is awareness.

Awareness is key.

The simple awareness – similar to hunger pangs when we haven’t eaten – reminds us of the gifts we have.

i’m grateful for the hunger for something more satisfying than temporary relief.

PS. Ultimately though, Jesus doesn’t desire sacrifice, He desires Mercy.
