Writing from the Heart with Brian
Think, Laugh, & Cry Each Day
In the dark night, you could barely see more than twenty or thirty yards in front of you. Oh, it gets better. When a car or truck came along with their bright lights, it would light up the night, but would temporarily blind you, so you still couldn't see anything and had to be careful... Continue Reading →
I had a classmate in college, who was a great friend and I would've done anything for, but he bugged the hell out of me. Oh, he didn't really annoy me, but he showed me how we were two very different people. If I had a test coming up, I would study and stress over... Continue Reading →
I'm a writer, right? I'm supposed to have the right words at my disposal, whenever and wherever I need them, right? If you believe that, I have some oceanfront property in Arizona to sell you.

I went into work depressed. The executive leading my division had made several organizational changes and my small team who had been reporting to a manager that we all appreciated and loved and would now be working for another manager.

Happy New Year! When I decided to go back to college and earn my master's degree in the early 2000s, I remember laughing out loud at the goal. It seemed so brazen and outlandish. I had a demanding job and three small kids. My wife and I were already busy, how would I ever find... Continue Reading →
For many folks it's a tradition to watch the movie It's a Wonderful Life in the weeks leading up to Christmas. They like the message the story has to say about giving and helping others. It's funny, but I actually like to watch the movie after Christmas, leading into the new year. As most of... Continue Reading →
