The world lost one of the very, very good ones. Rest in peace Mr. Elder...

Lee Elder was a pioneer, and in so many ways. Yes, he was the first black golfer to play in the Masters Tournament, but that simply underlined the hard work Lee put in to further the cause of everyone who has a dream to play on the PGA TOUR and perhaps thinks there were too many barriers before them. It was wonderful that the Masters Tournament and Augusta National paid a well-deserved tribute to Lee by inviting him to be an Honorary Starter on this last Masters. That morning, you could see the joy in Lee’s face, and Gary Player and I were honored to enjoy that moment with him. That memory will remain special for so many, including me, for many years to come.

Lee was a good player, but most important, a good man who was very well respected by countless people. The game of golf lost a hero in Lee Elder. Barbara and I send our heartfelt condolences to Lee’s wife Sharon and their entire family.

What's your "go to" favorite?

This one never let's me down and always gives me a lift:

Triple venti vanilla mocha with whip!

Yep! 20 ounces of sugar and caffeine!😉

I don't order it a lot, but when I do, it always perks me up and makes me feel like I'm on vacation! 😀

Give yourself permission to learn from the past and release it.

In my experience, serenity comes by living in the moment and focusing on gratitude.

What are you grateful for today?

The classic story of The Donkey and the Well

One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well.

The poor animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do.

Finally the farmer decided since the animal was old and the well needed to be covered up anyway, it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey.

So the farmer invited all his neighbors to come over and help him.

They all grabbed shovels and began shoveling dirt into the well.

At first when the donkey realized what was happening, he cried horribly!

Then, to everyone's amazement, he quieted down.

A few shovel loads later, the farmer looked down into the darkness and was astonished by what he saw.

With every shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up as it piled up.

As the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up.

Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted off...

The moral of the story is that Life is going to shovel dirt on all of us – all kinds of dirt.

But each trouble can be a stepping stone.

What happens to you isn't nearly as important as how you react to it. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not giving up.

Shake it off - and take a step up.

What's your mouse?

Not the one in your hand, but (metaphorically) what's your gift to the world?

You do have one you know, and, it's very unique to only you.

Your gift begins with your story, your authenticity, your truth...

My story and my calling is in educating and inspiring others. I use video storytelling to focus on and highlight other people's success.

You'll be learning more about that very soon as I prepare to launch a new digital podcast where entrepreneurs share their stories about struggles and success.

Stay tuned... 😀
