Love, leadership, and risky business
My blog is an intimate way for me to share my unique struggles and lessons learned in my pursuit of love, leadership, and taking OWL the risks! Writing is a way for me to process OWL the information I take in each week, and an opportunity for me to share my expertise with OWL of you.
As an added bonus, it’s hoo-sterical and very pun-ey!
Procrastination is my stress reliever.
“Procrastination is a form of stress relief.” - Mel Robbins
In fact, it’s how a lot of people relieve stress when they’re feeling overwhelmed. Mom’s dead, dad’s gay now, I’m stilly funny, but it’s been a bit overwhelming at times.

You gotta have faith
Before this river becomes an ocean, you gotta have faith. But why faith? When George was asked precisely that question, his response sums up exactly how Kristen and I feel about faith. It represents the way I feel at the moment. It's kind of another word for my hope and optimism.

Electronics are hard...
I am that person. My phone is always dying and my apple watch status is somewhere between charged and this will die before the end of the day.
Life is short. P.S. I love you mom
At 7:25am on Monday, June 3, 2018, I received a phone call from the hospital informing me my mother has gone into cardiac arrest and I needed to get there as soon as possible. My heart sank. Time froze. My mom was in a hospital in Iowa and I was in New Jersey...no one could reach my dad on the phone.
All things considered
"How are you doing....all things considered?" Is probably my favorite condolence. It makes me smile and think of NPR's All Things Considered voice. And to be honest, all things considered, I am doing alright.
Top 5 trips of a lifetime
