“Amazing Grace” is one of the Best affirmations you can listen to.

It challenges you.

It humbles you.

It gives you perspective.

It puts you in gratitude mode.

It gives you strength.

It gives you hope.

2 1/2 years ago when we moved to Florida, there were many uncertainties in my life.

My wife was pregnant with our 4th.

I had hired an entire new executive team for our insurance company.

I was operating 5 companies at the same time.

Paps was getting older and needed to move him closer to me from LA.

Not happy with the school our kids were going to.

Each night at midnight when I would get home, I would walk the dogs at night for an hour with @AguilarSocial and listen to “Amazing Grace” on repeat for an hour straight. It was the version I listened to by Judy Collins.

I felt Gods presence with me during that season.

Each day I looked forward to this hour walk. It was a very emotional season. Tears with a smile on my face because I knew God was with me.

An indescribable level of strength that helped me make some big decisions that were needed to be made.

God is good!

Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Was blind but now I see

'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed

Through many dangers, toils, and snares
I have already come
This grace that brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home

When we've been here ten thousand years
Bright, shining as the sun
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we first begun

Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Was blind but now I see.

Future looks bright!

I am a huge fan of Naval Ravikant @naval.

Over the last year, I have done a Naval deep-dive: podcasts, interviews, Tweets.

Here are my 10 favorite wisdom bombs from Naval that have helped to change the way I think.

@gigastacey Hi Stacey, I'm a huge fan of your writings. Who do you respect the most in tech journalism outside of @gigaom?

@LinkedIn If the bane of your site is impersonal "I'd like to connect" invites, why do you make it so easy to accidentally send them?

@ColinKim Try the weekly launch.co email to see if you enjoy too. I think it's worth it to get quick tech news, but it is a bit SF focused

@ColinKim I defected to @evernote, until I found their multi-device editing to be laughably poor. Back to @googledrive and loving it
