“The last 15 years have been the best 15 years of my life,” he said via text. “Sell everything and enjoy!” That was the message my client and good friend’s brother-in-law sent to his wife just prior to taking his life two weeks ago. So, why do I share this? We all must learn to talk. We all must learn to express. We all must learn to reach out and ask for help at times. This man chose to leave behind his wife and five children, nieces, nephews, and countless others. Clearly, he was experiencing pain that no one can […]

How do you know how to get somewhere without a map? I played golf with a good friend this week. He and his son are best friends. He makes all his golf tournaments, picks him up from school most days and they hang out. I would not say that I am either of my kid’s best friend (or even favorite parent!). I struggle with the simplest of things with them. Hanging out. Playing with them enough. Just understanding what kids need. I did not have a road map for that. My father did not show me how to do that. […]

When did so many lose their understanding of proper manners? Of […]

True friendship is something that can never be replaced and should always be valued. A few months ago, one of my longest and closest friends and I were at odds. Nothing happened, but everything happened. We are all getting older and after 30 years of friendship, things changed, as they inevitably do. Both of us were feeling different ways about the relationship and how it should look going forward. So, I decided that it was probably time to simply move on and “end” the relationship. Well, my dear friend felt different. We had a few discussions, driven by his desire to keep […]

Last week at his Little League game, my son got hit in the face with a baseball. He was having a fantastic tournament. Game one: 2 for 2 with a double and a triple. The team lost the game, but as a pitcher, he struck out six players and threw three innings of no-hit baseball. Played flawless defense. Game two: leads off the game with a double. Playing great defense and the team is in the game. But his next at-bat, BAM! right in the face just below the helmet protection. Lying on the ground, the coaches tended to him. Made sure he did […]
