Home

Today, I had a remote tour of my former apartment.

Each streamed image held more memories than the guy on the other side could see. He wondered why I made him tarry in an area, and skip through another.

Interestingly, the stores and the rooms not used held no memories.

I wonder if this will be the same when we reflect about life in the end – the stores and aspects unexplored will hold no meaning.

I am thankful for the spaces that were once home, and the spaces I now call home.

Believe them

“When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time. People know themselves much better than you do. That’s why it’s important to stop expecting them to be something other than who they are.” – Maya Angelou

My first encounter with the above quote was in 2005. Sixteen years later, I have not found a more relevant guide to leading people.
