A Defining Moment

There comes a time in our life, that we reach a soul-defining moment.

And we just know, in the depth of our being, that this decision, that at this point,
we are making a decisive choice to take a different path...

to make a mark on the world.

I've had a soul-defining moment.

I reached for something I thought was beyond my grasp...

And I got it.



Now I have my chance to flourish.
To make a mark.
To make a difference.

And I'm ready to take it on.

Wish me luck.

I'm not really talking about Pancakes

I love metaphors.
I love talking about things in code.
I love talking about things that I'm not really talking about.

Confused yet?
I've done this before.

I made my children pancakes this morning for breakfast.
They know it takes extra time to do this and view it as a special treat.

I used to make pancakes in a skillet, one at a time, and it took forever.
Time consuming and ineffective.
I didn't know what I was doing.
But I kept trying.

Then I wised up and asked for a griddle one Christmas.

Now I can mass produce those suckers.
They aren't perfectly shaped or gorgeous...but they taste good.






My pancake philosophy is much like my _______________ .

I try to be more effective, more efficient, and hit what counts...but I'm not perfect.

Fill in the blank.

I'm not really talking about Legos

Legos, Legos everywhere and not a drop to drink.
(Can you name what literature that's a misquote from?)


My life is full of Legos.
It started out small, just a box or pack of them.

I could handle that.

Then they began to add up.
and add up and add up and add up.

Sometimes they came with direction, a project easily completed. Other times, instructions were lost, organization gone, and it was chaos.




They started out fun. Good busy work.
And then they began to overflow.

They filled the coffee table and spilled onto the floor.
I began stepping on them and finding them in odd places through the entire house.

The Legos multiplied.

In mass they overwhelm me.
I don't have the proper tools to deal with them.
To figure out where they go and what do do.

Recently I finally wised up and bought a storage box. To put all the Legos in.

It's time to organize, prioritize and figure out what goes where.

Do I want to build an amazing tower?
Or a prison for the Webkinz?

I need to take back the control.


What metaphors can you use for your life?
