"Timing Is Everything" is one of my favorite quotes.

For a few weeks, I've been dreading today as it marks the 50th anniversary of my father's passing.

Too many "what if" questions ringing in my head and though they'll never be answered, my upbringing helped shape me into who I am today and the person i want to be, not just For Amy and the boys but also for everyone in my universe.

Today is a reminder that you cannot change the past but you can learn from it and try to make a better tomorrow.

Not long ago, i authored a book on my experiences, Dear Liam & Noah: Letters From Daddy and followed it recently with "The 3 Bulls" back in May.

Maybe the news that I just received is a coincidence, or fate, but I just got my "Find Your Positive" moment.

Santa dropped off a pair of these for the boys a few months ago ahead of our trip to later this year.

They are so good, we're buying a few more to carry on to the airplane.

Sometimes, a new best Buddy is sitting alone on a park bench, a table in the school cafeteria, a library, or just walking down the street.

You never know when an act of kindness to others can begin a great friendship.

The 3 Bulls is a story of a young boy who is new in school and is hoping to make friends to have new experiences with.

Little did he know, he would meet his forever friends while sitting on a bench at the playground.

If he can do it, you can too! Introduce yourself to someone new and make a new friend today.

1-2-3 BULLS!

Thank you to Saratoga Springs Publishing, LLC and the incredible illustrator Anthony Richichi for working with me on this project.

Mid-September is upon us and for most companies, the end of the third quarter of the fiscal year approaches.

Do you know your numbers?

Are you preparing for year-end and tax season?

Now is the time to prepare but, to do so, you need to know your numbers.

Think of it this way, a football coach is in a game and needs to make adjustments as the game heads into the fourth quarter BUT, HE DOESN'T KNOW THE SCORE.
