This quote struck me while sitting in a Cleveland hotel room, sipping the morning’s first cup of coffee.

It took me 30 years to write the first sentence for Mid Life Celebration: rethink • reprioritize • recommit.
Took two more years to finish it.
Took two more years after that to get the guts to commit to publishing.
I get what you get and hear what you hear and fear what you fear, but kept going anyway.
Here’s to you.
