@michaelmiraflor That’s how Tesla got me. It was so easy to do it on my phone, before I knew it I had leased a car. The in dealership pick-up was <10 min.
@dieworkwear The myth of America, you can be everything.
I tell my kids, you can be anything but you can’t be everything.
Fashion, like everything else, consists of choices. Earlier you shared how small the common wardrobe used to be. We could all dress much smarter if we bought much less.
This hits hard. So many “thinking of you” moments that flash through my head about various people who have crossed paths with me over the course of my life.
I never act on them. I love you all out there. Hope you’re having a happy holiday season!
On January 23, 2008, I received word that Sarah O'Dell, an old friend of mine from college had passed away.
Two years earlier, her husband, Aaron, had invited me out to a birthday celebration for her. I couldn’t go because I was heading up our New Year’s Eve service at church. I promised to call and promptly forgot.
I kept meaning to call, but never did. Then I found out that she was diagnosed with leukemia. I brought her up for prayer every chance I could at church, reminding myself every chance I got to call. But things got busy and I never did.
I got an email from her parents about a month before she died with her address, asking people to send birthday cards to lift her spirits. I wrote up a card, but it sat on my desk, waiting for a stamp. I got another email a few days before she died with a message that she was improving. Good, I thought, that will give me time to get this card out.
A few days later, I received the email that she had unexpectedly taken a turn for the worse and had passed away. None of my thoughts and good intentions turned into any meaningful expression to her. What could I say to her at that point? I almost cared enough to let you know?
My friend Sarah is gone and she’ll never know I cared because I didn’t take the time when I had it to tell her so.
Just a reminder from someone who learned the hard way: Please don’t wait to tell someone that you care.
@AJRBrothers Every time I hear this I expect the lyrics to be, “Cause half the time I can’t love Ryan” and expect it to be about sibling fights but with Ryan singing it makes it meta.
