Napoleon Hill wrote that. "A goal is a dream with a deadline", that is. The first time I saw that quote was on a sign posted in the dugout of a baseball team -- and I've never forgotten it.That's what I do - I'm a dreamer. And I'm a goal-setter, because we all know what happens when we don't have a goal to shoot at -- we can't score. And we all know what a dream is which is without a course

After thinking more about my most recent blog regarding urgency, I realized that it reflects a very introspective mood which I was in at the time and may send an unintended message. So I write this follow up blog with the hopes of clarifying the more important source of urgency which drives my energy behind the MakeCFHistory.com intiative.As I have set out all along, this initiative has

Many years ago I saw a sign in a dugout during a college baseball game that read, "A goal is a dream with a deadline." I've never forgotten it....I was recently asked "What drives you?" It is a complicated question for me because it drives a myriad of thoughts and ideas - all of which move too fast through my brain to get my head around and connect together in order to formulate a coherent

Happy New Year! 2009!What might seemingly be just another new year to some, it's not just another new year for me. There are 2 "numbers" that make the number "2009" significant to me.First, and of lesser interest, is the number "40". No, not "40" as in U2's song titled after the verse in Psalms. Rather "40" as in how old I will be at the end of this month. And I am constantly getting asked,

Michal Jordan once said:Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence wins championships.When I settled on the website and the concept of posting roses on the site ad infinitum (as long as donations came in), I ran into my next major hurdle: processing payments for the donations.Through the use of PayPal, processing donations is easy. But I certainly did not want to handle the money through a

I remember very distinctly in 1998 sitting on plane heading for Amsterdam and writing in my Day Runner all the things I want to do before I die. As an uncle of 2 young nieces born with CF, I knew I wanted to be an active participant in the effort to find a cure for CF. My initial thought was to create a non-profit organization geared towards raising money for CF. But since there were so many
