Sometimes you gotta recognize when you’ve exceeded your bandwidth. I need a break from blogging this week to focus on the FREEDOM TOUR CLASSIC. We’ll be back on Monday. Thanks so much for being here. I’m grateful.

Me?
“You need to tell your story.” Becky’s been pushing me (more than usual) to incorporate the story of Rich’s Ride into this year’s FREEDOM TOUR. Not sure why, but she’s pretty smart and I’ve learned to listen to her. Perhaps we’ll revisit some previous conversations. Here’s one from 12 years ago. + + + “Why […]

About Inspiration
At the FREEDOM TOUR, we seek to make a small change in the world. We do that by supporting a group of kids rescued from human trafficking, and to accomplish our goal we need to bring along a circle of people. I spend a fair bit of time thinking about the best way to attract […]
