While I was out for

While I was out for my daily (almost) walk, I was thinking about all of the travel I've done over the years. I've flown, just on United, a million and a half miles since they started the mileage program. There's a song with the lyrics, "I've been everywhere man." However it's generally in and out, airports, hotels and conference rooms. The only times I actually visit an area, as a rule, is when my wife, Eve, travels with me. Last week I was in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Got in at night, car to the hotel, conference center, car to the airport and home. They told me Nova Scotia is a beautiful place. I've been there now, but haven't seen much of it! However, I love what I do and plan to stay places a little longer when I have the opportunity. When I look back at my life - 17 years in prison, a year on bread and water - it seems more like fiction. What a blessing it is to be in the game. I never forget where I came from, though, or miss a chance to visit men and women in prison whenever I can. Peace, Gordy Graham

Every day's a new da

Every day's a new day. It's filled with choices. I choose to make it a day to enjoy being in the game! I choose to take a minute counting my blessings, to let my wife know how important she is in my life, to call a few friends, write a bit and plan our new TUESDAYS WITH GORDY teleconferences that I'm collaborating on with Inventive Productions and R.J. McHatton. Hope you'll plan to join me when we're up and running! Peace, Gordy Graham

Nova Scotia was grea

Nova Scotia was great in spite of airports and airline seats! The Mechanical Contractors Association knows how to combine fun and business. They had a Scottish theme and were in kilts and tams the night before my presentation. I'm looking forward to seeing pictures from the event. We will be doing a weekly on-line teaching; "Tuesdays with Gordy" should be a good focusing tool. I look forward to making a positive difference in people's lives! Peace, Gordy Graham

My good friend and p

My good friend and partner, R.J. McHatton, and I are "on the road again" this week, so I'll be out of the box for a while. I'll be back in touch at the end of the week. On Wednesday, the 22nd I head for Nova Scotia for a session with the Mechanical Contractors Assn. They're a great group and the little time I've spent with them has been very enjoyable. Stay well! Peace, Gordy Graham

When I listen to the

When I listen to the news (which I rarely do!) it seems to me there's too many people reading their own press releases. The media can create a somebody out of a nobody (and just as quickly tear them down again). There are too many getting too much face time, with too little of value to say, in my humble opinion! Peace, Gordy Graham

The sheriff of a lar

The sheriff of a large jail system was asked his opinion on a critical issue facing his department. His response was worth considering. He said, "I'm not entitled to voice my opinion, because people listen to me." This is a good reminder for this writer. I sometimes make statements that don't reflect my perspective on an issue, and people assume it is! I often have to eat my words, and that ain't good! Think first, speak second. Peace, Gordy Graham

Every day is special

Every day is special! It's nice that we set aside a day to acknowledge labor. Someone is responsible for all of the things we take for granted. The cars we drive, the food we eat, the roads and rails we travel on, our homes, entertainment, etc. Man, can we thank all those responsible in one day? I don't think so, but it's a good reminder! Peace, Gordy Graham

R.J. McHatton has co

R.J. McHatton has conducted a ton of interviews capturing David Lewis's accomplishments. He is doing this on his own time and with no financial support. R.J.'s work will allow people across the U.S. to share in David's unbelievable journey. Thanks, R.J.! Peace, Gordy Graham

We conducted two 3-h

We conducted two 3-hour seminars in E. Palo Alto, CA, last week. This is the home of David Lewis, my long time friend who was hot & killed in June. It will take a while for the recovery process, but there are some quality people who will keep David's legacy alive. Peace, Gordy Graham
