ASPIRE overflow

our good friend KEVIN HALL has written a book that was published in the spring of this year.  we finally (after not talking with him for about 10 years) got back in touch with him. i ordered his book and read it in a day. it's amazing.  for me, words can't describe it; which is ironic since it's all about words itself.  every time i hear kevin speak i want to share and pass on every word.  it's so hard to take notes on his speeches or his writings, as every word of it is always so fabulous.

here's the book:

clicking on the book will take you to kevin's website where you can find links to order the book, learn more about him, and see dates for his speaking engagements and training.

kevin is an amazing person, and i knew that long ago when i first met him.  but every time i hear him speak or get a note from him, he continues to awe and inspire me.  the pages of this book were no exception.  i learned new words and techniques.  i gained new perspectives on life and myself.  of course, the part where i apply them and utilize them all comes down to me.  that's the challenge, isn't it?  no one else can make the change except YOU. but in a time where i thought i had lost faith and hope, and even the means to gain it back, kevin's words (and remembering times we've spent with him) sparked new hope.  i am so grateful to that, no matter how small it is.  at this point, i'll take what i can get.

2010 was one of the best years i've had in awhile.  no i'm not extremely old, but i do have 35 others to compare it to.  i am now hopeful i can make 2011 even better.  yes i'm a grinch during the christmas season, but i am grateful for friends that allowed me to serve them so i could keep a smile on my face through it all.  i'm grateful to my doc for his never ending supply of patience with me.  i am grateful to put another christmas behind and look forward to another year of fun adventures (and hopefully TONS of travel!).
