Presence in life


A rule YHC learned early was to listen more than talk.  In every interaction with the Carpex PAX I’m inspired.  Today was another one of those times to soak in what others have to share.

Thang One:  

Do to our limited numbers and the plan to have mostly partner work YHC called an audible and we Moseyed to the covered porch.  As it turned out this was great!  YHC had forgotten about the gifts of greatness that the actual site has to offer.  Lately we have been running all around the neighborhood… and wouldn’t ya know it.  There was so much to do!

Prayer Requests

Naked Moleskin

YHC has been inspired by so many of the Carpex PAX.  The backblast from Cali helped YHC put perspective into life, family, work etc.  The F2 from all has provided comfort from the work-burnout and words of wisdom about fatherhood.  One would think that 15 years as a dad it would get easier… nah, it just gets real important to be present.  The presence we can have in the lives of our family, coworkers and F3 Brotherhood matters.  How are we approaching the day and conversations? Every interaction matters.   After a great weekend where YHC took the advice from our PAX to be present, not just in proximity but in presence.  Being part of what they were doing, what they wanted to do.  Today YHC woke up refreshed and ready to attack the day.  YHC was inspired to be in the presence and lead great men today.

Thank you all for being the influence YHC needs
