I had the pleasure of visiting the city of Greenville, South Carolina. Falls Park in the Reddy is an amazing park and trails with a waterfall in the midst of downtown. I slowed down to have a conversation with a couple from Greenville, SC. I expressed admiration for this lovely park and they shared a story! I loved the story! You know I am going to find a way to create a parallel to life!

Sometimes we can’t see what is right in front of us. There are so many things hidden in plain sight. I will put a spin on the law of attraction. The law of attraction talk about “like attracting like.” I see it a little differently. When you value something- your eyes are unveiled to the things you value hidden in plain sight! Ever notice that once you have bought something new- all of a sudden everyone and their mom has it too?
The problem is- most people do not know what they want and their values. What do you want?

Today is Audrey’s birthday. She is 14 years old. I must tell you about her! What an extraordinary young lady! In addition to being an excellent student, she plays the saxophone and is an excellent swimmer. She is beautiful…

Then she asked me about my wedding dress and if she could try it on. I told her tomorrow would have been our wedding anniversary.
The last post I wrote was nearly two years ago. I have been grieving, slaying giants, raising champions, and growing in faith.
Tory Palecek is my best friend from college. I met Tory the first day of volleyball preseason freshman year at Colgate University. We were both incoming freshmen. She immediately made an impression on me.
