Difficult. Swap. Rewarding.
Compete. Swap. Dominate.
Life. Swap. Mission.
Show me your vernacular and I’ll show you your crystal ball.

Echoes
I’m currently going back through my favorite books I’ve ever read to finish out 2014.
I started thoroughly reading in 2010, and my life has never been the same.
Rereading is like an echo for the eyes.
As of today, here’s my top 10.
1). A Million Miles In A Thousand Years
3). Linchpin
5). The One Thing
6). Mastering The Rockefeller Habits
7). The War of Art
8). Daring Greatly
9). Start With Why
10). Unlimited Power
V is for Vulnerable…and Vermont
If you ever get the opportunity to see the trees change from green to gold in Vermont, do it.
And take a copy of V is for Vulnerable by the great Seth Godin.
The changing leaves are falling memos if you’re willing to look and listen to them.
This will make more sense when you get there.

The Soil & The Gardener = The Garden
Making notes tonight in preparation for a message I get to share in the transitioning colors of Vermont next week.
Here are some….
This life finds us hovering above the soil that holds the potential for gardens of growth, lessons learned, attention to detail, awareness, and appreciation of beauty. For some reason I can’t rid my thoughts of the law of the harvest and the law of compensation these days.
You can’t separate the soil and gardener from of the garden itself. Without each other, the garden doesn’t exist.
How does your garden grow and grow well? It begins with a gardener that is fully present and fully aware of his responsibility and duty to be gardening in the first place.
Weeds are synonymous with noise and SPAM.
Beauty is produced. Beauty is bloomed. Beauty bursts through the dirt after a seed is sown.
To be in continued…
Little steps into big things
We listen to the music, but we may just need a few lyrics.
We read books in hopes that just one line may speak to us.
We journal about the day to reflect on a moment.
Inches of enlightenment sprinkle across our miles.
