Mostly, I blog philosophical musings on life & leadership, based on 30 yrs organizational leadership experience, 28 yrs (and counting :)) in a parent-leader role, and an undisclosed number (HA!) of years development my own self-leadership - all rooted in a deeply spiritual desire to be better, and to leave this world better than I found it.

I Remember
The Sacrifice
On somber ground a flower grows
Stirred by winds, a spangled banner blows
Across the valley as our freedom waves
Above their sleeping, silent graves.
O'er this scene a bugle's sound
Now dedicates this hallowed ground.
Reverence now this sacred sod
And words that flow from throne of God,
"Rest safely in your guarded lands
Hold child and loved ones in your hands
The blood is shed, the enemies flee
But freedom never will be - 'free'"

In Honor of Memorial Day, 2008 and in honor and memory of those who have paid for with their very lives the freedoms we yet live to enjoy.
I will always remember.
