You know, it would be a real shame if I’d come this far without picking up a few lessons along the way. Without the wisdom passed down from the incredible mentors I’ve had, I might not have made it here at all. I have been fortunate to learn from some of the best, and...
I doubt you’ll read these first few lines and think that doubt is anything good or useful. As a society, we have been taught that it’s not a positive thing. It has a negative connotation in just about every use of our language. From self-doubt to doubting others and...
Time takes time. It’s one of those annoying truisms that leaves you saying, “Well, duh.” In this case, the first mention of “time” in the saying really means progress. So, we can translate that sentence to read, progress takes time…well, duh. I joke, of course, but...
Fear and I have been constant companions for quite some time. Initially, our relationship was far from friendly. He would show up unannounced, interrupt conversations, and offer unsolicited perspectives on my life. Just the other day, Fear made an unexpected visit in...

Thank you so much for this encouragement. I am so worried about my dental practice, not knowing when we are going to be able to open again. I really needed to hear this tonight. ” Turn fear into Fuel.” That is great.

What a powerful, grounding force! Thanks for taking the time in a storm of doubt and fear to be a lighthouse Of hope! Much love and many blessings! Thank you!
With so much Covid-19 mess flying around and disrupting life as we knew it, if we all stepped more into the leadership lighthouse role, it would help the recovery of this country and across the globe.

Greetings Mr. Addison!
Loved your Momma’s advice to act pretty (not sure if that was the exact wording). I’ve been making a special effort to be friendly and courteous to people at the grocery store as they’re in the terrible grips of fear and desparately need a smile.
Lorraine, this is such a great practice to start and keep up, before and after these uncertain times we are in.
Glad to see you’re making a wonderful effort to impact lives positively!
Keep it up.
John
