What Happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas (Myth Busted)

16 years ago today I “Jumped the Broom” and married my Karen Ice. With a last name like “Ice” she had me caught cold. Our union busted the myth that “what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.” Yes we met in Vegas 19 years ago, but we didn’t stay in Vegas.

A friendship that grew into a Family-ship and it really is getting better and better every year. The smiles are real and I wouldn’t change the hand I have for nothing in the world. The Good, Bad, Happy, Sad, Ups, Downs, Highs and the Low’s is just the way it goes, but the Good definitely outways the Bad everyday of the week and twice on Sundays.

Yes, Mr. BreadCrumb has a big cool-aid smile on his face right about now and I’m planning to continue in my efforts to make this marriage thing GREAT! Hope you’re doing the same. Happy Anniversary Ms. Ice. Let’s keep Making it GREAT!

FEAR: A Well Disguised Motorcycle Cop

To all those who are within eye or ear-shot of my words today, please be advised that FEAR is a well disguised motorcycle cop hiding in the bushes of life waiting for the perfect opportunity to arrest unsuspecting individuals attempting to speed outside their comfort zone.

But take heart today and understand that FEAR is really just “False Evidence Appearing Real.” So, speed on outside your comfort zone with confidence today and everyday as you continue in your efforts to make it GREAT!

Commitments in Favorable Weather

The storms “in” life are inevitable and the storms “of” life are equally as inevitable. So making preparations and commitments today while the weather is favorable is just plain-ole’ smart so when the storm-clouds and fog of life rolls in you’ll already know why you won’t quit.

Yes my friends, making our commitments and vows of promise in advance is a welcomed event and those who do so increase the chances of enduring through the muss and the fuss of it all. Having a game-plan for the inevitable challenges ahead carries a hefty reward of clarity in the messy moments of life.

So what’s your game-plan? Is your contingency and commitment clear? Is your umbrella of unwavering assurance at the ready for those inevitable times of uncertainty? Hmmm… No need to answer out loud here, just make sure your plan is crystal clear and without fear.

This is definitely a breadcrumb of wisdom that can get you through the unavoidable stormy days ahead. So, set your proactive plan in advance and keep leaning forward as you continue in your noble efforts to make this good life, GREAT!
