Becky and I released a book. A hard one to write; an even harder journey to travel. Read it and you’ll know what to say or not say to someone facing cancer. Give it to a co-worker, friend, or family member and you will serve them well. Or, maybe your own heart needs hope.

For the 2nd consecutive time, I lead a nonprofit organization and a much-needed re-engineering effort. Bottom line: I now serve as the Transforming Center’s Interim Executive Director.

As the sun sets tonite, move week arrives. 11 yrs ago God told our family it was time to go, so we left IL. Wow, Grand Haven & our friends here gave us full hearts & many reasons to leave w/ smiles! Now, we trust that a new season begins because tomorrow, it’s time to go again.

If you have friends with whom you can effortlessly laugh and also shed tears, then you have found true friends.

Hope must have reasons. If not, it's just a dream, your imagination, or a cruel delusion. So share a reason...or be a reason. #ShowUp
