For five years now, I've been showing up here on Facebook with morning articles. Over 1,500 of them to be exact. Over that time, many of you have encouraged me to write a book. And, in response, I have not written a book. Until now. The hold up has not been the lack of desire to write a book. I love writing and sharing. Rather, the hold up has been that I've always known there is a book I HAVE to write before I will ever be able to write the books I WANT to write. I have been waiting for the storm waters of my life to recede before moving on with my writing, while all the while knowing the storm waters were actually found in my refusal to write the book I've known I have to write. The time has come for me to recede the storm waters. But I need your help. Emotionally and financially. READ MORE ABOUT THE CAMPAIGN HERE. |

Much Has Left, But Thankfully, Much Is Left.
Nothing lasts forever in this world. That is hard to accept. So hard, in fact, that it's easy to become so focused on the things that have left us that we deprive ourselves of the chance to embrace all that is still to come.

Yes, I'm talking about people and relationships. But it goes beyond that.
How many of us focus on the youthful appearance we once had but has now left us?
How many of us focus on the great job we once had but now has left us?
How many of us focus on the simplicity of the hometown we grew up in but we no longer live in?
How many focus on the financial security we once had that now looks more like paycheck to paycheck?
How many of us are so deeply mourning the loss of what was that we live incapable of seeing - let alone embracing - the possibilities that can be found in all that we have left.
How many of us have heads looking behind, faces painted in loss - and not forward, faces overcome with belief and hope?
And expectation.
Do we expect that life is over because of all that has left?
Or do we expect unexpected beauty coming at us from all that we have left?
Which we expect is a choice:
All that has left.
Or.
All that we have left.
The weekend has left you. I truly hope it was a great one.
But today is the day to begin focusing on all the days you have left.
And from them - create and anticipate beauty.
