  2020 threw so much at all of us. This year was a year of complete change for each and every single person; in some way shape or form. Knowing that this dreadful year is coming to a close, I need to express my most sincere gratitude to everyone for a few things.    First of all, for adapting. We learned to live with uncertainty. We learned that we have to handle all things that life throws our way. The Good. The Bad. The Beautiful. The Ugly. We learned to live through the unknown.   Secondly, the beauty of the human spirit. The level of resilience that we all had to learn to face was profound and inspiring in many ways. We had to learn to let go of what we knew and let live. We had to learn to work in different environments. We had to learn to create, to manage, and to love in different ways. Finally, and most importantly, for all of the calls, texts, DMs, comments, thoughts, and prayers for myself and my family in the passing of my father. ( Click Here to Learn More About My Incredib

Preface - I wrote this blog less than 12 hours after the news of my father passing away…   As I lay in bed, I cannot help but wonder, what is the meaning of this whole thing of life? What is our purpose here? I lay here, thinking, and now writing while feeling tremendous hurt and longing. Yet, weirdly filled with peace, strength, and focus that I have been missing for a while now.  The fact is due to our fallen world, you cannot understand sadness without experiencing joy. Just like you cannot understand joy without experiencing sadness. It’s the complexity and the conundrum of our human experience of life. It’s our ying and our yang.   I have eyes filled with tears over the recent loss of my dad, Craig ( Friday voice… I hope you know what I am talking about! ). This life event forces me to contemplate the "why;" the meaning of life. Reflecting on my dad's life and the work he did while he was here for 69 years and 19 days. I can only think of the impact he had. T
