I took pictures, and we talked a little bit about the work he did as a spiritual guide. He said, “Don’t work against what you hate. Work for what you love.” Scene 2: Marcus Buckingham’s book, Now, Discover Your Strengths points out that often we spend time trying to correct our weaknesses rather […]

Gone, but still with us

February 5, 2016 by johnnoltner

Sometimes people touch us for just a brief time, but make a lasting impact on our lives. Some of my best friends live far away.
