  • Hard times...regular folks are amazing

    Thursday, September 18, 2008 | A Positive story

    As I watch our stock market tumbling I find myself feeling cynical, how did these folks get us IN to this mess!  I then remember one of the the coolest coolest things about my job....THE PEOPLE...I get inspired all over again and I have to think we will all be ok.  When I do talks in schools or community groups I tell kids about the long haul medicine entails&nb...

  • i read a story about kiera brinkley who is a quadruple amputee dancer. yes i said it. and she teaches people how to dance too. she performs at julliard school in new york city. google her name and get inspired. disability is just a name. we have the power to be strong even in the midst of a storm. she is a happy person despite being in a wheelchair.

  • People you meet in life

    Saturday, March 28, 2009 | An Inspiring story

    At this point, it feels like the most important person in my life is my HR director at my work.  She is a Psychologist and Anthropologist, and she has become in a way a sort of mentor for me. The woman to whom I moved to this town and I are attempting to remain friends, however my nature of sharing my observations of someone (even just to help) has only alienated her from me more.  This...

    Tuesday, November 4, 2008 | An Inspiring story

    I think we can all agree tonight is a historic night. Regardless of how you feel about Obama I hope we are all inspired by the amazing turnout and the emotional investment in this election we have never seen before.

  • My path

    Wednesday, April 16, 2008 | A Positive story

    By talking about pleasing women, I get horribly misunderstood as to my meaning.  Especially by women.  In this I ostrisize m...

  • Re-calibrated :)

    Saturday, April 12, 2008 | An Inspiring story

    Ahhhhhhh... Went out yesterday after BPradio to the bar down the road from my sis's house (which I WALKED to thank you very much:)) and got pretty buzzed. The walk to the bar gave me lots of contemplative time.  The big surprise about the bar was that I walked in and immediately I got my hand shook by every guy in the bar. I ended sitting next to a guy who calls himself Vegas Bud an...
