Bitter and oh so sweet…

Last week I had the privilege of being fired by a client for telling them the unvarnished truth. I had the joy of being there when a couple partners came together and connected their OPUS.  I had the satisfaction of seeing a CEO put his OPUS and PoP on the outside of his office wall and his OPUS (life) and sCORE on the inside wall.  I had the great pleasure of being with another as he gained clarity of how to belong and become.  I helped a young builder deliver a tough message, laced with truth, that just might save someone from a costly derailment.

I witnessed a number of new Shannonballs turning up in places that I least expected.  I get so jacked seeing that.

I received a compliment about my son that I’ll not soon forget.  I heard some tough news from far away about another son that really stung.  I reconnected with an old friend.  I missed connecting with my only daughter.  I felt the distance from so many that are so close.  I introduced another client to the power of the TRX and was amazed at his willingness to embrace the pain for the feeling of strength in his core.  I watched my son give less than his best and let it go.  I went to a wedding and received a text about another funeral.

And, the Civil Wars introduced me to another new song.

Actually the Civil Wars introduced my bride to another new song.  AND, she introduced me to Daughter and her new release titled, Landfill.  I love songs like this.  I LOVE that my bride still finds music that she knows I will LOVE and that she takes the time to think of me.

Another week invested in my OPUS.  Another week where I was on top of the mountain AND tossed to the landfill.  Another week in a life that will be eerily similar to yours.

Bitter and sweet.

And, bitter and oh so sweet…
