Just 10.

What would happen if you gave 10% more from the core? Ten percent more of the best of you. For yourself. For your family. For your student. For the opportunity. Because you are just that kind.  It might mean giving up 20% of something not so great in your life, but I wonder how the math would end up at the end of the day.

Good Grief!

I, like all humans, have many people and situations to grieve. In the past, I have tried to fight it, squish it, ignore it, abandon it, but I now understand that the grieving process will not be denied.  The more I confront and accept pain and difficult situations, the smaller they get.  Facing it makes it real, and the unknown has more power than the truth. 

This same concept seems to be universal in my life.  In solving family and business problems, the more I just walk through the steps, focused of on the current step without running ahead, the less stress I experience.  It creates a peaceful process, and ultimately, I achieve a more desired result.

What is a snapshot?

In this world, in which life flies by at alarming speeds, I find it very difficult to be "present" or "in the moment."  I endeavor to experience "still moments" whenever I can.  It is possible to feel a range of feelings that keep me in the now, and when I am there, I feel the most calm, the most like the person I hope to be everyday.

This blog will be about me and those still moments, or seasons, called snapshots--intermingled with a discussion of the snapshot I wish to create:  My vision for the future of myself, my family, EES, and the people I encounter along the way, or anything related or seemingly unrelated.

Since visualization is so powerful, I can expect to realize what I draw into my snapshot.
