Every single day in the BBTL book is one page in length. Was told to make it so by my publisher. Nobody has time for more than a two minute read in a 365 day book. Check. Not really. I cheated. I made one day, today, three instead of one. Why? Krit, that’s why. You … Continue reading Few will…

Today was filled to the gills. Started with core work on the driveway at 6:33am and ended with coffee at Green Meadows around 6pm. Seven practices. All OPUS. Dinner with Miss, more of the same.

They betrayed him because they were tired of hearing Jacob, their dad, chirp about what a great kid he was. So, while working beside him one day out in the field, they sold him into slavery, … Continue reading Repair…

Today, during an early am practice with a strong leader, I told my client to trust his heart. He’s built a strong one (CORE, really) and he needs to trust it. Easier said then done in MOT (moments of truth). So, as I saw him grappling with this concept, I decided a story might paint … Continue reading Trust it…
