There are so many go

There are so many good, caring people in our cities and states that keep providing services and support in spite of the continuous political battles that fill the air waves. How you can character assassinate someone and then have lunch together is bizarre in my humble opinion! ...But I guess that's politics! Peace, Gordy Graham

I'm not ready for th

I'm not ready for the change of season! The summer was too short and we are already deep into fall. Time seems to speed up, and there's so much that needs doing and you'e trying to change the world! I think I'll just step back and enjoy life as it unfolds, enjoy my wife and partner, Eve, and continue to make my little contribution to imporve things in the world while recognizing that there are many others on the same journey. Peace, Gordy Graham

It's amazing how muc

It's amazing how much time we spend in the Circle of Concern! This is the area where we have no control over the outcome, i.e., the weather, or whether our plane will be on time, etc. I always come back to my Circle of Influence, and ask myself what I can do about it, then take the necessary action if it's within my Circle of Influence, or let it go if it's outside. I sometimes find myself spending too much time in the Circle of Concern, however I always recognize that I have a choice! Peace, Gordy Graham

I attended a 2-1/2 d

I attended a 2-1/2 day seminar over the weekend, taught by Lou Tice. This is the seminar that impacted my life 38 years ago. There were 300 or so participants from all across the world. It always amazes me how relevant the same concepts are today. The way we think has a direct correlation on how well our life works. This is as true today as it was all those years ago. Truth is truth, and it's timeless. Going through a session as a participant again is always a good reminder. I'm in Chicago on Wednesday doing an event for a company there. I'll do a better job because of this weekend. It's a good reminder to think about what you think about! Peace, Gordy Graham

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
