Lifetime of Real Achievement…Boyd Jones
Yesterday, I was honored to be asked to present the APCA Lifetime Achievement Award to my dear friend Boyd Jones. I couldn’t have been more honored if I’d won it myself, because there is no one who has ever met Boyd that wouldn’t have loved to fill my shoes. Given an hour, I couldn’t have ...

Fame….I’m gonna live forever
Two weeks ago, we had a great national NACA conference! It is one of the gifts of this biz that we get to travel several times a year to spend time with great friends and colleagues and fill our hearts with meaningful conversation, Art, and new poetry, laughter, and inspiration.

The Spirit of the Holidays
I remember once I had measles just before Christmas. I had to give my list to my big sister to take to Santa while I sat itching at home, lower lip trembling. I felt certain she’d mess it up or tell Santa I just wanted him to get double presents for her and nothing for ...
