A few guiding desires for the creation of Mid Life Celebration

Disney's Contemporary Resort tropical landscaping — Three beautiful flowering trees (goals)

There have always been a few guiding desires for the creation of Mid Life Celebration:

Raise money until a cure is found for Crohn’s disease
Have a platform to provide a backup plan for an unforeseen economic crisis
Challenge the world to do something great before they die

Make no small plans.

There have always been a few guiding desires for the creation of Mid Life Celebration…

We all have several diseases that have touched us in a way that we ‘d like to see these diseases irradiated.

Which disease tops your list?

Crohn’s disease is at the top here.

Hate Alzheimer’s disease too.

No expectation for any of us to view the video. Yet it’s always exciting to hear there are folks who are optimistic they can slay it.

You know the feeling.

How does a person tell the difference between delusions of grandeur and the likelihood that they’ve been called to do something important?

Every breakthrough was once a crazy idea to all but one person.

What if we saw death as the third most magnificent day in our life?

The difference between these two makes all the difference

Target slogan — False advertising? More like: Expect more, pay more. The long way is the short cut.

We can go our whole life never drawing a real line, only an imaginary one that moves at our whims and desires.

Morality, like art, means drawing a line someplace. – Oscar Wilde

We either build our attitude on rock or we build it on sand.

We know this.

But do we act on it?

It’s the difference between merely surviving and totally thriving.

An email note to my brothers from college about mantle diving and death

Ripple effect — A question that deserves a legitimate answer and one most of us have none for.

In exchange for this long post the other four will be one sentence each….

Brothers, your kind, humorous emails brought laughter, smiles. We are blessed beyond measure to have formed an unbreakable bond at such a young and influential age.

Junior year, Fall 1979 when J. Bauknecht, Guenther, Ageny and I lived on High St (right?) (and where mantle diving began for Sig Ep?). Saw a movie of a pregnant mom talking to one of those big bazooka type vhs camcorders as it sat on her kitchen table and she sat on a rocking chair a few feet away, talking to the camera to her unborn child about what was important in life.

She was going to die and her child would only know her mom from the videos. I promised then and there to write a book to my children. God provided only one. A miracle.

Woke up 30 years later to realize, with an 8-year old, the first sentence hadn’t been written.

Then another miracle happened. The book is not only for Chapin (13), but for the world. It will challenge everything the reader (maybe some of you) believes in.

Peace and blessings dear brothers. Thank goodness Rob Fischer paid my dues that Spring, or you guys would have kicked me out. Crazy. Wonderful.
