We Never See It Coming

Even though we know it’s coming, we never see it coming.

It’s the same way the caterpillar (as far as we know) never sees the butterfly coming.

Yet, it’s inevitable.

Mid life.

The caterpillar in this photo was lucky. As I was pulling weeds a few days ago, he almost got dumped into the yard-waste barrel for recycling. I set it free in the mulch.

Who sets us free in midlife?

How Cool Was That?

Ohhhhhhhhhhh
Ohhhhhhhhhhh

Good Monday morning everyone. Not sure where to begin. So many thoughts racing through the cranium. Did you notice it, over the weekend? The change.

How did you remember 9.11?

It will seem trivia to some, and to others, it was major, and, drastic.

And it happened on a day in history that was major and tragic.

September 11.

9/11

After nearly 18 months writing 5-blogs-a day, everyday, I stopped, on 911, to pause and reflect.

More on this story tomorrow. Meanwhile, I’m heading over to Lane8.org to write today’s 2nd post.

Someone asked the man, “What do you do?”:

I’m the Blog Whisperer, whispering to the world, “Live, before you die.”

What If?

“What if 1.2 million (just 3%) male Baby Boomers did something uncommonly great before they died”?

And then their influence, in the process, inspired others to think about their own responsibility to leave the world better than they found it?

And it started to trickle over to women baby boomers, and then Gen X-ers and Gen-Y and then Millennials, and so on and so forth until it rippled all the way down to our young children in elementary schools.

That the seeds of mental, physical, spiritual and financial responsibility were planted by great examples, their teachers, parents, relatives, neighbors.

What if? Carpe diem!
