I am learning that my life is a story more epic than I ever thought. As with any story, it has a plot, characters who have influenced me, traumas and victories, hopes and disappointments. Each of these is shaping me into who I am today. Our stories may be larger and connected to a Great God who is more kind and compassionate than we ever imagined. I am growing to hold my story with that same compassion and kindness.
My nickname is Seawolf. Even that has a story and identity. I am grateful to work in global leadership development, coaching, and learning with many wonderful leaders. I lived internationally for many years and have been privileged to travel to 40 countries and listen to others' stories. I am a musician, a writer, a triathlete, a Green Bay Packers fan, and a learner. I am married to my best friend of 40 decades; together, we have raised four wonderful adult children. We currently reside in Orlando, Florida.
That is a bit about me. What’s your story?

I’m not gonna lie–I hate this time of year. I love the results and despise the process. I feel robbed of that hour of sleep. As if it were a conspiracy to take away the little sleep I have. Thanks for the insights–hugely helpful. But not so much that I still don’t hate it.
Yes, I hate losing time. I could have a problem with “enough”. Brené Brown talks about this. The first thought we have when we wake up often is “I didn’t get enough sleep.” Our last thought when our head hits the pillow often is “I didn’t get enough done today.” Everything in between is a litany of “not enoughs”. Does this relate or am I off on another blog? Too much thinking–I might need a horizontal life break!
It is another blog–but it’s so true! I know I struggle with “enough”. How do you define it? When is it ok to say it? How do you act on it? If you’ve got an answer, Steverino, share it! Would love your insights!
Daylio. I am still on that journey. I just read Brené Browns book, The Gifts of Imperfection: Let Go of Who You Think You’re Supposed to Be and Embrace Who You Are. You may see some processing of that on the blog. How would you define “enough”? I am not sure I am tracking with your second question of when is it ok to say it. What do you mean by that?
Our culture in this outfit tends to make us believe that expectations are always high and should be higher. When in the mission is it ok to say I’ve done enough? Jesus said it was finished, but we’re not Him. So often I feel that there are things I “should” keep doing. And yet it’s exhausting and may not show any results. So when can you say it’s enough?
