Who wouldn’t want a message to deliver this?

personal thank you note to author
It was life changing…

 

“Gentle, generous, direct, and compellingly hopeful.”

The night clerk (early 20’s) at the hotel in February read MLC. She left this note a few days ago.

More and more convinced at this relatively unknown book’s power to challenge any reader, any age. To revive anyone’s hope that they matter and they can matter for others.

It’s a book bathed in love. It’s gentle, generous, direct, and compellingly hopeful.

Everyone already knows this and it doesn’t excite us

Florida Mockingbird on rooftop
Neighborhood meeting concluded and having another meeting to attend to. – pause and do the impossible…

 

Florida Mockingbird on rooftop
Ever talk to a Mockingbird? Not if we’re too busy, too distracted, too medicated.

 

Who is in love with exploring what’s impossible?

Everyone already knows what’s possible.

It’s the stuff that lies past what’s possible that the explorer in us yearns to get a glimpse of.

Every single day brings the opportunity for the freshness of perspective

Obituary
Stunned by the news. Al was only 53, with a wife and three child under 15.

 

Freshness of perspective?

What would it feel like to have three overwhelming events happen on the same day?:

  • neighbor says her 22-year old daughter thought Mid Life Celebration (your book) was ‘fantastic’!
  • email sharing that 53-year old father of your child’s classmates just passed away
  • a colleague bestows generosity and kindness beyond amazing

All unexpected.

All powerful.

All emotional.

All reminding us of life’s beauty and life’s harsh reality.

Three choices in every situation

Magic Band accessories
Wish there was a magic band or magic wand, but ultimately the CEO has to deal with this.

 

We make ourselves a victim when we complain.

Three choices in every situation:

  1. leave
  2. change
  3. accept

Anything else is childish.

Have been observing for years a public figure who has slowly poisoned their attitude beyond anything that is acceptable.

Time to walk away.

Guilt-free 180.
