This is the time of year we have usually taken time to pause and reflect and set goals and make resolutions. Sadly many of us will have already “failed” and have resigned ourselves to the status quo.
I’ve been extremely fortunate to have several powerful mentors in my life. ...

Donna and I just celebrated our 30th Wedding Anniversary in Canmore And Vancouver Island in Canada. As we took a boat cruise on Lake Minnewanka we saw a grove of trees and were told the whole grove covering acres and what looked like 1000 trees was actually...

July Warm and Fuzzy: A Grandpas Wisdom Jul 01, 2022

There is a story told of an old man and his grandson who were walking down a business street in a downtown district.  I like it because I am currently a "Pop Pop" to eight grandchildren; including Jon Burke's three lovely children.

 

As they walked along, the grandfather suddenly...

April Warm and Fuzzy: The "Hot Dog!" Balloon Apr 12, 2022

I was walking in my neighborhood and noticed a young girl's birthday party going on. Inflatables, a pinata, and a bunch of balloons. A little girl was holding on to a string that was attached to a purple helium balloon bobbing about in the wind.

Warm Fuzzy October 2021 Email: Gratitude! Oct 05, 2021

I’m certainly grateful for having autumn arrive with our cooler winds, changing trees, and the expectations of the Holidays. The nights aren’t quite as warm as they were even a few weeks ago, and stores have already begun stocking everything pumpkin-related.

Warm Fuzzy September 2021: Knowing Where to Tap Sep 05, 2021

You may have heard this before but it is one of my all-time favorites:

A giant ship engine failed. The ship's owners tried one expert after another, but none of them could figure out how to fix the engine.

Then they brought in an old man who had been fixing ships since he was a young man. He...

Warm Fuzzy August 2021: We Are All Stronger Now Aug 02, 2021

As we all embrace the start of a more "normal" summer and fall, it’s important to give ourselves room to continue to reemerge at our own pace. It’s also important to remember that new beginnings are not always easy or obvious. I’m reminded of the following story, a...
