I try to take complex problems and break them down into smaller parts then deliver simple explanations. This allows my patients and others to make better decisions and feel more at ease. My passion is to blog and write articles in a similar style. I am also very motivated by the oppurtunity to teach topics related to my profession. My pager in the middle of the night:)

Seeing someone else's eyes light up! When deep into a conversation, suddenly we understand something important in unison; or when a kid takes the first lick of a favourite food; or when my partner touches my hair ever so gently and the moment is captured in our glance. The easy moments, calm and natural times, walking through a meadow, listening to the wind... When time disappears, and passion appears. I've come to realize, that all there is is "now". My grandmother always said, "you can't have a good life without a lot of good days". I'm living up to her expectations! Yes to a lot of that…as well as…

It's interesting, too, how much fun I've been having blogging, too. It really seems to wrap up so many different passions for me @ Shane - ok, so I have to go along with the wife thing, though, for me, it playing with my hair, of course, we're talking about my wife now, not yours! See ya at SXSW, buddy! @ persistenillusion - thanks for the well-wishes for the career renegade bootcamp! @ Pat - always interesting to see your perspective, having gone through some pretty major changes! @ Sharon - yeah, getting into that meditative place with even the simplest of day to day activities is an amazing thing!

Having lost my phyiscal health, while still pursuing a second business. I now have to find more fulfillment in the mental aspect of life. Having lost my hearing, I must find greater fulfillment in watching the laughter of others, whether I hav4e heard the why or not. Yet the constant pursuit of mental edge is fullfilling and being in that tube mentally is exhuberating.
