The inaugural post! Hard to believe it took so long, or that I'm so old, but I have craved a place to share my thoughts and experiences. I hope to connect, inspire, and share with a few people, including myself. The catalyst for this comes from several sources. First, my dad and his dad both died in their 60's and I really don't know much about them. Second, even my family members who lived longer didn't necessarily share much about themselves. Third, I believe in the power of sharing inspiration and wisdom. Lastly, I want a place to consolidate my various memories and thoughts. With all of this in mind, I hope to contribute posts on a frequent, or at least semi-frequent basis. Let's hope for success!
