If not daily, it’s weekly now that death comes near. This week I find out a good friend has a friend who has been brutally murdered. It came completely out of the blue. They don’t know who did it. They don’t know why. Just a life cut short in a seemingly random act of violence. […]

Day 509- 14º
It’s not even officially winter yet and it’s already cold and dark in Ohio. The first week of December has filled with those gray Ohio days where the sun rarely, if ever, makes an appearance. I’ve got to make a decision on my exercise routine. The five-mile walk is pleasant in spring and fall, can be […]
Day 508- Carpe Diem or Nose To The Grindstone?
Wow. It’s only Wednesday. This is the longest week ever. I am still waiting to hear from my developer about moving our ecommerce platform, which is strangling us. I am seriously considering firing them after 10 years or so of working with them. My marketing company can’t track conversions on Yahoo. So, the money we […]
Day 507- When You’re Going Through Hell- Just Keep Going
Many years ago, two decades now, back in the day of AOL and dial-up, I used to frequent chat rooms on AOL. This was back when I was an evangelical. I got word there were atheists and pagans in certain rooms trying to convince Christians we were wrong. Challenge accepted. I was right there, trying […]
Day 503- Monday for Wednesday
Today is Wednesday. For some reason, it feels like a Monday, though. I wake up at the normal time around 5:30 AM. My alarm goes off at 6:50. Usually, I’m out of bed before the alarm. Not today. I do not want to face the day, again. I set my intentions for the day. I’ve […]
Day 501- Thanksgiving 2016
Today is Thanksgiving Day. Thanksgiving has been my favorite holiday since I have been grown. It’s a time when family gathers without the financial stress of shopping for everyone and the chore of trying to pick the right gifts for people who already have everything. Thanksgiving means spending time with either my famiy or Tywana’s. […]
Day 498- A Glimmer of Hope
Today feels a little better. I am running two marketing efforts in parallel with two different companies. I’ve been searching for a long time to find a company that can understand our business and take a consulting role. I have hired and fired more companies than I can count. One of these two companies actually […]
Day 496-Groundhog Day
I think I’ve posted a blog with this title already. Probably because I feel pretty much the same every morning. My first thought is “Do I really have to do this again?” That’s followed by “I’m tired.” Then, it’s “Help me.” to whoever is listening. Then, I’m up at at ‘em again. I put on my clothes in the […]
Day 495- Separation Anxiety
I Go To Pieces Tonight as I’m lying in bed reading a few pages before rolling over to fall asleep, I receive a text from Kayla. There’s a video attached to it. I click the play button and I see images of Kayla and Shayna set to music. I’m reminded of the special bond between […]
Day 493- What I Wouldn’t Do
Today we are going to Bowling Green, which is just half an hour short of the three hours drive to Toledo. Kayla is in a fashion show and she wants us to come up and see her performance. For Kayla to be in a fashion show is a big deal because even though she is […]
