Will I lose my dignity?
Will someone care?
Will I wake tomorrow
From this nightmare?
– Rent, Jonathan Larson, 1996
Watching the new TV show “Brothers and Sisters” tonight, I realized a few things about myself– things that I didn’t necessarily like, and things that I’m glad I was able to avoid in life.
Life is not about regrets, or letting bad decisions affect the way you live it. It’s simply about what you do with what is given to you.
I’m fortunate enough to have learned such lessons from my mother, and those lessons have helped me a great deal in life.
This is probably my most frank, and most revealing podcast to date. I invite you to listen with an open mind and heart.
Thanks.

“Will I” is a beautiful song, so simple and hearfelt and haunting. Whenever it shows up on the playlist, I have to stop whatever I’m doing to listen – and think.
“Brothers and Sisters” is inspired.
Looking forward to the podcast.
