Follow Your Passions

Hello blog. I’ve missed you.

It has been six months since I have posted anything here, and they have been six amazing, inspirational months.

On a personal level, here’s a few things I’d love to share -

My wife and I bought a house we love. We did it. More impressively, we sold our condo in this less than stellar Phoenix housing market, and though we did drop our price a bit, we still did remarkably well from an equity stance. Why is the new house so great? Somewhat difficult to express, though it has something to do with having to put so much care into it that the HOA took care of back at the condo. Exterior painting, landscaping, mowing the lawn, caring for the pool, and so on. Also, the condo was new when we got it as opposed to our twenty year old “new” house, so we scraped the popcorn stuff on the ceilings, painted the interior, did a lot of electrical and plumbing work, put new tile and carpet in, hung new ceiling fans, and… I am sure other things I am forgetting. Putting so much effort and care into almost anything will endear you to it after a while, and that has certainly been the case with the new house.

Okay, now that we have the personal stuff out of the way, what will we be talking about here in the coming weeks and months? Well, plenty, but here’s a few topics we’ll tackle first –

• The power of change (and why it’s a good thing)
• The power of perception (and how your thoughts are your reality)
• The power of individuality vs being a team player (and why they aren’t exclusive concepts)
• The power of feedback (and what kind to pay the most attention to)
• The power of you (and how talented I believe you to be)

Stay tuned.
