Witnessed a father and daughter having the time of their life using the parking curbs as balance beams.
So much joy, smiles, and laughter.
EVERYDAY MAGIC

STOP SCROLLING. START NOTICING.
Try this for 24 hours:
- Look up. Pay attention.
Find something that stirs you. Surprises you. Hits you sideways. - Post it.
Share what it was. Say why it mattered. That’s it.
No corporate polish.
No performative insight.
Just you, giving a damn about something.
It doesn’t need to be “on brand.”
It just needs to be honest.
Then, do it again tomorrow.
See what happens when people meet you—not your job title.

A quick motion.
Then commotion.
Did you hit your head?
One man said.
I don’t know…
I don’t think so.
Let’s get her stable.
Listen, don’t stand up until you’re able.
What happened asked a passerby.
She lost her balance and fell. Oh my.
This is happening more often than I’d like to admit.
Good Lord, it’s painful to be losing it.
And for this crowd to witness, it hurts even more.
Than how it felt to hit this airport floor.
Location: Nashville International Airport
ONE SENTENCE
Today, someone said one sentence to me that meant everything and put the wind back in my sails:
“I see, deeply appreciate, and value your contributions.”
RESET TO ZERO
For Father’s Day I was given Apple Watch by the boys. It’s been a great tool to keep me healthy, active, and motivated.
Yesterday I woke up in the morning and opened the activity tracker app on the watch. And I witnesses all of the numbers and progress bars slide from 100% down to nothing.
Every single one. They all reset to zero, right in front of my eyes.
What a beautiful, sobering metaphor.
It doesn’t matter what I did yesterday or last week. Today matters.
And at midnight, the counter resets and it starts all over again.
That is how progress is made:
How can I do 1% better today (in all aspects of my life)…
and then 1% better tomorrow?
