Finding Balance on the Primeval Whirl
As the car we were in climbed the steep rails ahead of us, the ever familiar ‘click, click, click’ that accompanies every roller coaster’s ascent slowed as we neared the top of the climb. I always associate that ever so brief moment of silence, when the coaster reaches the crest of the hill, as the…
But Where Is Mickey Mouse?
As the plane slowly taxied after landing on a runway at Orlando International Airport I peered through the small rectangular window, my eager little eyes expecting to see the castle and the rest of the Magic Kingdom. Instead, my gleaming eyes quickly changed to gloom at the sight of long grey runways, drab grass fields,…
Building the Beautiful from the Broken

A&E, Duck Dynasty and Phil Robertson…Where We Missed It.
This morning I awoke to a Facebook news feed that was overwhelmed with posts about Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson. Literally, 8 out of every 10 posts I saw were discussing the latest news surrounding the ‘royal’ duck family. Phil Robertson, following an interview with GQ magazine (linked here), was indefinitely suspended by A&E from…
You Make the World a Beautiful Place
Simply stated, there are some people that just make our world a better place to live. People who live selflessly and openly. People who are more concerned with others than themselves. People who are willing to go out of their way to help. People who are willing to take risks. People who love, share and…
