Our lives go through paradigm shifts often… sometimes so subtly that we don’t seem to realize. It is only when we look back from the vantage point of passing time we currently occupy that we do see. Some of the shifts are defining moments in our lives, some are due to events that have preempted
Truth is truth… but it isn’t always welcomed. While you’d think we’d welcome truth with open arms, sometimes it seems we want an ‘out’ from the truth. Silly, but there it is.

From the 2018 Olympics’ commercials: “In every challenge, there are two rivals: Belief and Doubt. Doubt has a bigger team. Belief is outnumbered, but never outworked. And when the score is settled, belief rises to the top.” Have you ever look and
