Hate Addict!

Hi. I'm Brad. I'm an alcoholic and addict. This line has crossed my lips a thousand times over the last 25+ years. I've been sober since February 24, 1993. I haven't had a drink...not one sip, or a toke...not one puff, or a snort...not…

Lessons Everywhere

This post has been percolating for the past couple days. This theme has been a constant for the last few years. A great morning conversation with my editor motivated me to sit down and blog. Life is grand...until it's not. Until it's not.…

It's a great day to give! I'm not talking about giving money or material things, although sometimes those things are appropriate. I'm talking about giving of yourself. I'm talking about finding and sharing that thing you love, that thing you're…

Find Your Summit

Slow and Easy!

Happy Tuesday everyone! I hope you had a great Memorial Day weekend, and were able to take some time out for remembering those who've made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms! As I was contemplating the busy weekend, and all the things…

Look for the Good!

It's a great day to start focusing on the good stuff in your life! Every day we are bombarded with negative views of the world, our country, our cities, our neighbors, and even ourselves. If you watch the nightly news, or listen to talk radio…
