Another day another chance to get it right.


I am writing this blog at 8:18 am in the morning and already today was a good day. Like most other days, driving into work I thought about how this day would look like. Unlike most days, I received a jolt of energy in my heart and no. . .it wasn't from my morning coffee. It came about when I started thinking about the interview I was going to have with one of my clients and how much that interview means to me. I am doing a video legacy project for one of my clients. The purpose of the interview is to record his views on topics ranging from where his grandparents grew up to his favorite movie. I want to ask him what he admires most about his kids and major turning points in his life. I am not sure if my client knows it or not but this interview today is why I started my practice. You see, I never had the opportunity to interview my dad about these topics and there are no audio or video recordings that focused on his reflections about his life. My dad was a humble man but humility has nothing to do with it. I wish someone would have taken the time to interview my dad so I could understand his views now that I am a 40 year old man. I want to give this opportunity to as many people as I can because this gift is priceless. It is why I do what I do. Yes, today is a good day…
