When she was coming up, when Venus was better than her, when she lost a bunch of matches? Yeah. Me neither. Her record-shattering performances over the past decade, toppling records set by Steffi Graf … More People who crush it
So, I know I’ve not shared a lot of the manuscript here, but have shared a lot, but there is a lot more I could put out there (here, I guess). I’m actually almost done writing draft 1. But I haven’t typed it up, because I am weird and prefer to write on paper. Also, … More Pondering

She wrote about it in detail in her book Daring Greatly. In it, she addresses how children learn … More “Hope is a function of struggle.”

Again with the random photo… Can’t stop, won’t stop. My college mentor. He’s a priest. Let me back up. I attended St. Bonaventure University. It’s a Franciscan school in the woods of Western New York State. If you aren’t from that area, but have heard of the school, you may follow college basketball. It’s a … More People who are humble, pt. II
This section begins my heroes and rock stars section… not that the aforementioned people aren’t but this is a broader cast of the net. And, no, I don’t mean people who humble brag.
