There’s a lesson on Faith in there, just finding it challenging to uncover and articulate.

Her odds were grim anyway due to a degenerative aortic valve condition.

The second doctor was very optimistic and highly recommended the surgury.

Amazon best seller rank for Mid Life Celebration
In 24 hours went from rank of 86k, to 10.4k, to under 4k (lower is better)

 

Rejoice when our fear of not trying is so much greater than our fear of failing.

Developing our spirit with indomitable will and endless faith helps us do things we need to do, even the ones that scare us to death.

Took 30 years to write the first sentence. Two more to finish. And two more after that to get the guts to publish.

The artist was overjoyed to have their art picked for this location, no?

 

We have got it all wrong with the fear of God.

Three small reasons prompted a small change – a metaphor for life

First paid haircut in 30 years. Prior to that Cheryl cut it.

 

Three things prompted a paid haircut, in chronological order:

  1. Assigned to provide two keynote speeches for a global hair cut franchise
  2. Wanted to see if a brief break from this chore would benefit Cheryl
  3. It was scary because it had been done consistently by the same person for 30 years

The avatar photo was a random coincidence because the photo was taken so that when the next person asked how would you like your hair cut, we could simply use the photo to say, “Like this”.

Been getting a haircut at the establishment ever since – five years and counting.

Don’t sell yourself short.

A different friend shared this and then leaned over as our dinner conversation was wrapping up and said he also plans to write a book.
