I'm back...and gone all at the same time.

Hi everyone,

It's been a while since my last post. Officially I haven't posted anything since my trip to the Culinary Institute back in April. A lot has been going on in my life since then. Most recently my mom just passed away and work has really gotten busy. The family is growing like crazy; everyone is healthy and good. I'm at a weird place in my life right now. I feel like there is something else I need to be doing; not that I need to stop what I'm doing but I feel like there is more I should be doing. This is a weird feeling, one that I've never had before. I've been restless sure, but this is different. This is a longing.

A few months ago I attended a great leadership class at the Center for Creative Leadership in Greensboro, NC. It was simply called the Leadership Development Program and it was a life altering course. It is making me a better Regional Director, husband, father and hopefully friend, and I hope it is not too late for me to be a better son as well.

I'm not totally sure what to do with all of this stuff rolling around in my head. I just know I need to do something with it. Things are beginning to come into perspective a little clearer in terms of knowing that I am meant for more than I've done so far. I just don't know what that it. That part is a little cloudier. I'm acutely aware of something happening around me.

I've also been working closely with my senior pastor on some cool stuff for our church. I'm not totally sure where all of this is leading but it sure is getting interesting.

I chose this picture because it pretty much represents how I'm feeling...like the sun is setting on this phase of my life.

More to come...
