The Sunflower 🌻

“I am not mighty”, thought the little sunflower… Peering out across its home in the little vegetable garden it looked upon its fellow neighbours all rising tall to meet the morning sun. For forever now it had felt lonesome standing so short when everyone else reached so tall. There were the proud tomato plants all gossiping together in...

I Believe 🦾

Wheels up and on the way home. Bumpy to start through the clouds but smoothing out now. Just 45 minutes to go. Something about no hot drinks over the intercom… Shooting off the runway toward the thick clouds it made me think... maybe those who don’t believe never hope for something they can’t see. But I think belief gives rise to a hop...

Teams & Pioneers

My dad says lots of awesome things, and when he does, I write as many of them down as I can.

Because it's Today 🌅

And because yesterday is gone and tomorrow may never come. Because right now is that special moment. And because regrets have no place and dreams can always be. Because today I am alive. Because today I am unstoppable. Because today I can be anything I want. Because today I will smile. Because today I will laugh. Because today I may we...
