You reach your success when you are invested in others. Everything that you do in life – business, family, church, and anything else you can imagine – all begins and ends with relationships. Relationships are the foundation that grow the opportunities to produce the fruit. Relationships provide the fuel (motivation and inspiration) to keep the…
“I had no idea you did that.” If I had a dollar for every time I heard that statement – sometimes from close friends or even family – well, I could by that bridge I have heard so much about. There are things in our life that we do, awards that we win or accomplishments…
It begins with a vision. I see the elements of possibility, maybe left over from a previous activity or maybe on a Facebook post of a sale or giveaway. Something sparks and I know that I could make it new, make it different, or just make it. The pallets were only the beginning for me….

The invasion had been scheduled to start just before noon. The first wave would be the lightest – only 12 or so and would make the perfect preparation for the onslaught later in the day. We knew it was coming, so we began to prepare (and by we, I mean me). Just a little bit….
