...faith and work and charity and healthy eating and being productive and working out and caring for everyone and reading and listening and learning and growing and mentoring and leading and pushing and resting and balancing and reaching out and always being there...
Do you sometimes feel as if you've lost your greatness? As I think about all of the things I tell myself that I'm supposed to be and do and think...I wonder if mine has slipped away?
You see, we all have our own kind of greatness. It's in there. Most of time it's on display and we don't even know it.
Lately, though. Well...you know. The world changed up its cadence pretty quickly, and now we have to adjust.
So.
Adjust.
No, we don't have any rules on how to adjust the right way. We don't need them. We don't have a playbook on what is proper and what isn't. We don't need one.
We just need to remember our greatness...
...and show it.
I'd love to hear from you.
No Excuses.

I'm finding it hard to write lately. So many conflicting thoughts. An endless stream of "news" that has become intolerable. New norms for work and community that aren't normal in any way.
I've wondered if there are blind spots in all of this that are holding me back? Is there something bigger happening that I'm simply not noticing because of...well...everything?
What do you think? How are you finding your way through the new, temporary, but maybe beginning of a whole new way of life?
I'd love to hear from you.

I'm not sure where to start.
It's been a couple of week since the world, literally, shut down. I've had so many emotions that I don't even know how to frame them...process them...or take charge of them.
At least, sometimes I don't.
I'm worried about loved ones, and colleagues, and friends, and...everybody. That feels like a lot.
At least, sometimes it does.
I started a new job a few months ago. Then the world changed. I was still trying to figure out my new normal. Now I'm figuring out a newer normal. It's odd. Swinging between big ideas and plans for taking over the world...to struggling with the reality of that invisible enemy can be overwhelming.
At least, sometimes it is.
Somewhere in this mess we can't lose sight of the people on the frontline..in hospitals, as first responders, the researchers, the delivery people, the store clerks, the clergy...and on and on. They are risking so much...and I feel like I'm not doing my part.
At least, sometimes I do.
I'm thinking about you all my friends.
I'm thinking about the opportunities we have to provide inspirational leadership.
I'm thinking that prioritizing people is probably the most important thing we can do...it might just be our historical legacy.
In fact, I know that is true.
I'd love to hear from you.
