This story is about how a skinny little plumber from the south side of San Antonio discovered and embraced the influence he can have on anyone; regardless of education or status. It happened directly after a major career change that I doubted I would succeed at. And true to form, the opportunity...
Story 2 takes me back to when I was just a little guy. Its a story of growing from silent to heard, a story of shifting from self preservation to serving others.

After the last blog I decided to cut down to 1 topic, mostly because this one is ultra special. That not to say the rest arent ultra special, but this one fills a sneaky selfish need of mine. Yes, I am on the path to Becoming the Promise I am Intended to Be by serving others but I like to see the...
