After over a year on the sideline, I'm back.  It's been a challenging 13 months.  These first few podcasts are going to be rough and I look forward to working the kinks out.  Hang in there.  I've got a lot of good stuff coming your way.

“Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they’ve been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It’s an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It’s a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing."   - Muhammad Ali

" Greatness Lies within you.  Under adversity some break records, while others simply break.  But the truth is we all have it in us to be great, and our destiny shouldn't be left up to fate.  So rather than wait I say forge ahead and create a future you dictate, and then stick two fingers up to fate"    -  Georges St. Pierre  (MMA Champion)

Remember me when I am gone away,

Gone far away into the silent land;

When you can no more hold me by the hand,

Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.

Remember me when no more day by day

You tell me of our future that you plann'd:

Only remember me; you understand

It will be late to counsel then or pray.

Yet if you should forget me for a while

And afterwards remember, do not grieve:

For if the darkness and corruption leave

A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,

Better by far you should forget and smile

Than that you should remember and be sad.

 -  Christina Rossetti (1830 - 1894)
