Well this may be the strangest blog post I’ve ever written.  I’m typing this from the 8th floor of Palmetto Richland Hospital in Columbia, SC. More on that in a sec.  But first, looking back I can hardly believe it’s actually it’s been over 2 months since I last posted here — WOWZERS! So where have I [...]

Today’s post comes to you from a rocking chair on the front porch of Uncle Pete’s Cabin in Nashville.  Somehow Kara and I managed to leave the girls with her parents and steal a weekend away together.   And loving it by the way!

Memorable Line of the Month… “A bouncer in Birmingham hit me in [...]

I’ve got something heavy on my heart I need to share…and it involves a personal challenge, and a little bribe/contest with a couple of pretty enticing “carrots” for you if you’re feeling snappy –if you’re game here, I really want to make it worth your while… Please watch this short video for what this is [...]

A friendly hat tip to marketing guru guy David Frey for tweeting this one today. Gosh, it can be so easy to get discouraged in this business, ya know?
