Passionate and Brilliantly Complex

At first glace one may describe the outward appearance as calm, gentle maybe even confident on the surface. Just enough of the average ingredients so not to draw attention and stand out.

The wind carries through the trees a soft tender voice.
"Look further…"

You move closer to get a better view. Instantly, you get pushed back by an unseen force. Defenses have been raised to keep you away from intruding. Dark and insecure feelings of emotions surround you as you fight to pull back the layers. What is it that is being so closely guarded? Ahead an intense light pierces through the darkness. You work your way toward the light against the invisible force that now seems to be pushing you back. The ground turns to thick murky waters making it almost impossible to move forward. With every new step you manage to take you get ever so much closer. You fight to keep the darkness from engulfing you by willing yourself to only focus on the light. Struggling in this battle with an invisible enemy, you begin to wonder if the message was meant for you to hear. Your initial thought is to turn back.

The wind picks up returning the tender voice.
"Look further…"

The little things

Isn’t it strange how some of the best feelings in life come from the littlest things people do for you. With time actions can either break down barriers or reinforce them with stone supports. It’s the little things that are often over overlooked, but easily accomplished that act as the demolition crew. If at anytime you allow pride and stubbornness to paralyze you from doing those little things for someone else you are creating new walls to tear down. Life is too short to take the people you care about for granted. Remember each day what they have done for you and the impacts they have had on your life. Regrets are what everyone tries to avoid, do not let the day come that you did not see the little things that were brought into your existence.

Here I go again...

I'm off on another business trip in Chicago. It's nice to see good friends and I look forward to seeing the ones I have yet had a chance to meet up with. The fall colors are so beautiful and something that you miss out on living in Florida. Today I'm off to conquer the city and take a dinner cruise later tonight. No worries the camera will be close so hopefully I will get plenty of great pictures.

Making Strides

I am participating in the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer again this year in memory of my grandma Mary! Getting people involved and educating them on this deadly disease is critical in helping to find the cure for cancer. We have lost enough loved ones to this enemy! I humbly ask, if you like reading my blog and would wish to sponsor me please go to the below link. All donations will go towards cancer research and any amount you can donate will be appreciated!
