Week #13 of 2025 has arrived... And we have safely passed the Ides of March... Just incase any of you Caesars were worried. Et tu, Brute! Time to walk over to your 4K Weeks poster and fill in another square.  Done? This week is all about my back. It was bothering me this week... Who knows why... but that meant that a few times this week, instead of barreling through my agenda like an unbridled force of nature, I needed to lay on the ground for a few minutes. Each time, our wonderful 100 lb, loveable mutt Walter came over, laid nearly on top of me, and rested his head on my chest. When he does that, I often wonder...

Week #7 of 2025 has arrived. The world is changing. But then again, it always is. What doesn't change? The seasons, the sunrise, the truth that the world is a place of abundance, if you would only start to see it. Time to walk over to your 4K Weeks poster and fill in another square.  Done? Last week on the podcast I mentioned that I was curious who listens... I said I would consider 10 emails that said "I'm listening" a success. We received 6.

Week 28 of 2024 has arrived. Just over halfway through 2024.  Smack dab in the middle of the summer and the 4th turning. The world turns and moves on. I wonder if my 18-year-old self would recognize me at 47. I'm not sure he would. Time to walk over to your 4K Weeks poster and fill in another square. Done? In our house, Ryann (my wife) and I are in the middle of the struggle with the speed of the childhood clock.
