Long and Winding Road

It's been a long and winding road....

Sorry for the blatant Beatles rip-off, but that is the best description I could find.  The last 18 months have brought a tremendous upheaval in my life, so much so that I couldn't devote any time whatsoever to my blog.  All of that is about to change.  Let me explain.

Over the last two years, I have started two new enterprises and traversed the great divide that is divorce.  Now, any one of those events would cause a sane human being some stress and consternation.  That wasn't good enough for me, I had to do all three.  While I have had some very dark moments during this period, I have thus far been able to convince myself that all of the pain was for the greater good.  I have lost three people who were at one time in my corner (not so much over the last 8 or so years), I hope at some point we can all create some form of a relationship.  Only time will tell.  Honestly, I believe they will be better off traveling their path without me.  The journeys that once were intertwined had become irreversibly separated.  Apparently, God has another plan for me.  This is a business blog, and my family at one time were all involved in my businesses, so I can easily draw a line from one to the other.  It's like sorta like losing a business partner that you had been with for over 30 years (That's how long we were together) only a LOT more intense!

This turmoil has brought more perspective into my life.  After all, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right?  So far this hasn't killed me, and I am feeling a bit more like myself lately.  You see, I had lost that for a long time.  Things were too good.  I once again have that "edge" that drives me to succeed.  The complacency is gone, I am once again stepping outside of my comfort zone to achieve things most wouldn't even consider.  Stay tuned for more!
