She Believes In Us

Our good friend and regular MidLife Celebration Sunday Guest Blogger, Lorie Sheffer, thought I might enjoy this 61-second video, recorded by this young child with big dreams. Lorie was right:

Will one of your big dreams involve getting healthy, or staying healthy?

Midlife Certainty

“No great deed, private or public, has ever been undertaken in a bliss of certainty.”
– Leon Wieseltier

This is something that we all need to grasp. Our lofty, childhood dreams to do good and noble work may never be reborn in midlife, because Leon is right.

Kids rarely walk from one thing to another. Why did we stop running everywhere?

Are You Crazy Enough?

Crazy Bicyclist?
Crazy Bicyclist?

Are you crazy enough to dream BIG? I mean “Change the World” BIG!

Mid Life Celebration’s vision is to inspire just three percent (3%) of the male Baby Boomers to do something GREAT before they die.

From mending a Family relationship before someone dies, to helping to find a cure for an incurable disease, or something in between.

With roughly half of the 80-million Baby Boomers being men, that’s a target market of 1.2 million.

And then we pray and bank on the ripple effect.  Any idea why?

It Happens Fast And Tragically

The Beach Is Perfect For Spring Break
The Beach Is Perfect For Spring Break

We all have memories of our various rites of passage, don’t we?

And Spring Break reminds many of heading to the beach to scratch that spring-fever itch.

And every year, it happens fast and tragically, like it did here, in Florida.

Teenagers, alcohol, and inexperience.

And a young man, so full of possibilities.  The world was his oyster, no doubt having some “good times”.

A misstep.

Then a phone call.

A phone call.

A phone call at a family get together, to celebrate someone turning my age (50).

Can you even comprehend that phone call?  I can not.

I’m praying for this family, the students, and any one else touched by senseless tragedy this week.
