This Is One Hell of a Story We’re Living…

Dec 01, 2024

Last week, one night, driving to dinner with Ang and the kids, I found myself marveling at life. As we talked about everything that’s happening right now,  the plans for 2025, the things we’ve accomplished this year, the road we’ve traveled, I turned to her and said, “This is one hell of a story we’re living, isn’t it?”

Ang, in her way, didn’t hesitate. “You put it out there and went after it,” she said.

That moment hit me. Because she’s right. None of this is luck. None of this “just happened.” It started with a choice. I made a decision to stop living the life I thought I had to and to start living the life I wanted. The life that felt true.

Thanksgiving night, I had another moment, walking through a parking lot, when I realized I was standing in the exact future I had once only dared to imagine. Back then, it was just an idea, a dream. But as I took that walk, it wasn’t a dream anymore. It was my reality.

And now, here we are, looking ahead to 2025 with clarity, boldness, and honest-to-God plans that feel just as surreal. The kind of plans that once felt impossible but now feel inevitable.

This week’s blog explores the idea of claiming your future before the calendar flips to January 1st. Because that’s what it comes down to: deciding, right here and now, to step into the story you want to live.

If you’re waiting for permission to start, if you’re waiting for the perfect moment, consider this it. Your story isn’t waiting for the New Year. It’s waiting for you.

Here’s to the story we’re living—and the one you’re about to create.

The Smallest Choices Hold the Greatest Love
My week started with two lessons that reverberated through my being. The first? The truth will always reveal itself when you're ready to see it. The second? Love is not in the grand gestures, it’s in the smallest, simplest choices. One week ago, I made a decision that wasn’t easy, but was clear. I left a space that wasn’t mine. A space where I could have stayed, could have played the part, coul...
A Year Ago Today: The Truth I Never Saw Coming
One year ago today, I was in Orlando, sitting in a hospital room with my father. The decision to go was instant. Something deep inside told me I needed to be there. It was only a couple of weeks after I learned I had beat cancer.Only a few days after I saw a future that was mine but looked nothing like my present.And just days before I remembered the truth about my life, starting with my childh...
Who are the Gods of War in your life?
Who are the Gods of War in your life? The ones who kept you small, kept you divided, kept you distracted. The ones who convinced you the fight was between you and the person next to you, when really, they were the ones pulling the strings the whole time. I met some of them this week. Not in some grand, dramatic way. But in the quiet realizations, the moments of clarity, the threads I finally pu...
