(Just a thought I had today... It doesn't seem all that practical in today's day & age...) It's easy to sit and dream about what we want out ahead of us in some future time. We'll keep it safely on the shelf where we can pick it up and look at it from time-to-time. But … Continue reading NOTHING TO LOSE

The Spider and the Fly
(I didn’t see this post coming when I started my morning… but perhaps a lesson we can find a practical way to apply to our own lives.) I saw an interesting battle on my front porch this morning. A larger than average spider was lowering itself by its web out of the tree next to … Continue reading The Spider and the Fly
THE MAGIC OF THE MOUNTAIN
Chasm Lake with the Diamond of Longs Peak at top center Chasm Lake lies just below the diamond face of Longs, sitting at about 11,800 ft elevation. It’s almost 9 miles out-and-back (up and down would be a better descriptor) with an elevation gain of between 2400-2500 feet. It’s a bear! Doable…but it will cost … Continue reading THE MAGIC OF THE MOUNTAIN

I have invited a techie person into this process to tie together my webpage with a blog and my purchased domain, … Continue reading DEFINING THE SUMMIT
A CURE FOR SPD (SMALL PERSPECTIVE DISORDER)
Perspective from Canyonlands National Park. WINDSHIELD PERSPECTIVE Out on the road, traveling through southeast Utah, and northeast Arizona, you see few people, small towns, and long miles of range in many directions interrupted by buttes and canyon cliffs jetting up toward the sky. The horizon goes for miles, and it can stretch the perspective. … Continue reading A CURE FOR SPD (SMALL PERSPECTIVE DISORDER)
DETAILS, DETAILS
CHANGE AGENTS ARE WIRED DIFFERENTLY Brokenness… I suspect most of us have those areas in our lives where things don’t quite work as efficiently as we’d like. For many of us, we may do well on a day-to-day basis, perhaps even excelling in many areas of our lives…but like a vehicle that starts every time … Continue reading DETAILS, DETAILS
UP YOUR GAME
I recently met with a friend who shares a mutual interest in both coaching and writing. As we conversed about our desire to write, he used my blog theme of Climbing Mountains to ask a question about my goals. “Do you have an idea what the view will look like from the mountaintop with writing?” … Continue reading UP YOUR GAME
