Writing from the Heart with Brian
Think, Laugh, & Cry Each Day
The early bird gets the worm. Time and tide wait for no man. Time is money. Time flies. Okay you get the picture. I’m hyper sensitive to wasting time. I’m very much an achiever, I'm restless until I'm able to accomplish something -- both big and small goals -- each day. I need to be... Continue Reading →
Whether you’re religious or not, there’s something I love about the Christmas week. I love that work is usually lighter and easier going. (It wasn't this week for me, but at least, now I get to regroup and get my head back on straight.) Coworkers are willing to help; nobody takes themselves too seriously. People... Continue Reading →
I’ve written a lot of content over the years, blogs, newspaper articles, executive presentations and speeches, marketing content, scripts, plays, and even an old, discarded novel to name a few.

Life can be hard. It can throw difficult challenges your way when you least expect it. But, then there are days, when your kids come running out of the house, all smiles, to give you a hug or your spouse throws you a gleeful wink your way that make the hard moments worth it. In...
