All of us have regrets. Time wasted. Things we wish we hadn’t said. Hurts we have caused. The important thing is to learn from these past regrets. Forgive yourself for these things, and make a personal vow to not repeat them…

My Interview With Rick Bologna
Imagine living all your life in a city you were born and raised in, established your business in, were raising your children in, and had a wonderfully fulfilling life focused on family, friends and community. Then one day you were told to get out, because a Category 5 hurricane was headed to New Orleans. Her name was Katrina.

Death and Taxes
Benjamin Franklin told us the only certain things in life are death and taxes. Old Ben left out a few. Today’s short examines another certainty in life…struggles.
Attraction…
What are the characteristics in others that you find attractive? I value intelligent, kind hearted people who have depth to them in their spirit. What about you?
September 11…
Twenty years ago, our world changed. In some ways we changed for the better, which is what I will focus on today.
Remember how nice people were to each other after 9/11? We had more patience, grace, and patriotism. We came together. I often wonder where that went. Are we so divided one generation later that we will never return to cohesion? I still believe in the goodness of mankind. It begins with me…
What Lies Beneath…
Everyone is struggling with something. Let’s treat others with kindness…

Change. Really?
Fifty years ago, the band Ten Years After released a song titled “I’d Love to Change The World.” In the lyrics, they talk of noble ideas such as feed the poor, stop war, and eliminate pollution. Yet, in the chorus the lyricist wrote, “I’d love to change the world, but I don’t know what to do.”
These world challenges are huge, almost overwhelming. But I believe we can do something about them. Change begins when we are willing to do something. Change begins with me…
Struggling Kids…
Yesterday I was privileged to speak to a group of foster children. It felt great to be speaking again, especially with kids. I was an insecure, angry, struggling kid myself, and because of my upbringing I connect with kids.
If a child reached out to you, please take the time to engage with them. Kids today need hope, they need validation, and they need us…
Greed…
In the movie, “Wall Street,” the main character told us that “greed is good.” By definition, greed means a selfish desire for wealth and power. There is nothing wrong with wealth and power until you throw selfishness into the mix. Keep your motives true and noble, and should you start feeling selfish, give away what you have accumulated.
