Irrefutable home control

Two people at a homeowner entrance
This man was taking photos on our property on Saturday morning. He never offered his name, who he is or who he is representing. i asked him for this photo, exercising prudence. Note: my smile is not a happy and content smile. Take a second look at his phone.

Who holds a phone like this? Recording our conversation?

Trust is built by doing the basics brilliantly.

Been learning a hard, unwanted lesson, accidentally. Really do not want to unpack (process) it here. Yet it is healthy to process experiences to learn from, and avoid future, mistakes. Gonna rest on this one more day and decide tomorrow.

The simple beauty in over-focusing on mind, body, spirit, work, and home is brilliant. You don’t have to prove anything with words. Wrap your head around that and then text me with a “jeff, thank you”. 407-538-4341

If you dedicate your life to learn, to do, and then finally, to teach, you will be rare indeed if you leave your child(ren) with the true north for personal vibrancy.

This will sound powerful enough to inspire or anger fathers: If i/you do not show my/your son (and/or daughter) true North, then i/you have failed at your life’s most important job.

Swearing etiquette

Father and son in the mountains
