I am the furthest thing from what you would call a sports fan.  But like the rest of world I am absolutely heart-broken about the death of Kobe Bryant, his daughter and 7 others over the weekend.  While I may not totally understand all his accomplishments on the court, and there are many, I am immensely inspired by his total commitment to excellence and mental resiliency.  Gone far too soon, and like so many have said a stark reminder about how short and precious life is.

I could have easily filled today’s entire Tuesday 10 with links sharing just how incredible Kobe Bryant was, but I know that’s not what you’re here for.  So I’ve only included one 🙂

Happy New Year!  It’s been a bit of a slow start around here. With the flip of the calendar to 2020, I found myself in a rather reflective mood.  Something about twenty-twenty and a new decade, gave me pause and if I’m being honest a bit of a freak out!  They say we underestimate how much we can accomplish in ten years and over estimate how much we can accomplish in one year.  With that in mind, I gave myself time to really think about what I wanted the next decade to be about.  I find that if I’m not intentional with my days, they seem to run away from me and I’m left wondering where the heck the time went.  So, the only resolution per se I’ve set for myself is to be more intentional.  I find everything else, like the things I want to accomplish, the experiences I hope to have and the people I want to spend my time with, falls into place so much easier if I do.  Do you set resolutions or goals for yourself? What do you hope to accomplish in this decade?
