What began as a yet-to-be Father’s vision to do something to give back to those less fortunate – as a Family (with children) – has continued for 18 years.
Cheryl was not yet pregnant with our Son when we first volunteered on Thanksgiving 1999.
Miraculously – and at the time we didn’t know – Cheryl was pregnant when we returned a month later for Christmas Day deliveries.
And even on Easter 2000, we were still four months away from our Son’s birth.
The odds of us doing this three times a year, for 18 consecutive years, was a long-shot at best.
Something about serving less fortunate neighbors on days when American tradition has us focus on our own Families – this felt like something worth starting.
As we struggled to become parents from 1992 – 2000, we began shedding things that no longer served us.
Classic rethinking, reprioritizing and recommitting.

The ultimate confirmation of having wisdom is the profoundly simple revelation that every single day is a final exam. This is taxing either way, so saying it’s too much work is a lame excuse.

To work for years – a lifetime really – to create an unquenchable and habitually positive attitude is to enjoy the fun in the freedom and immunity from negative thoughts, people, messages.

Yes, yes, and yes.
In the beginning of a change the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot. – Mark Twain
Many critics, few patriots.
The cost of midlife personal responsibility is high.
The price of freedom in achieving it – priceless.
No one is going to climb our mountain for us.
