Open Spaces

I absolutely thrive on adventures into the wide open spaces of life. Having traveled to 5 and lived on 3 continents, I draw on the experiences of myriad life lessons I've learned which create a common thread that knit together the passions and desires of humanity no matter who or where you are, or what season you find yourself living in. Life, put into proper perspective, can be a refreshing, informative journey, and the lessons learned along the way can serve to make us better people. You're welcome to join me on the journey!

    Director at NBC/ Universal Studios in Cyber Security, a great job, great income, great family, grandkids, President of C-Suite for Christ...why pursue anything else. Passion will do that to you.

    Tom - In Pursuit of Purpose 6/02/23 - S 8, Episode 9

    Chasing success has its financial rewards, but at the pinnacle it may leave you feeling empty and hollow! Chasing your passion on the other hand guarantees that you'll live a fulfilled life, because, as Myles Munroe always said, "The two most important days in your life are the day you were born, and the day you discovered why." Join my guest and I this week as we navigate the undulating road of his journey towards fulfilling his passion. You won't be sorry you did, so invite a friend and get comfortable.

    Hope - In Pursuit of Passion - 5/26/23 - S 8, Episode 8

    The struggle is real! Sometimes, the greatest loss in the pursuit of your passion is the loss of relationships. While, people "cancelling" you because you see things differently than them, is definitely contrary to the teachings of Jesus, it's probably safe to say that it demonstrates a sad reality, "Our beliefs are stronger than our love!" - Hope Clark What if we risked it all and chose to pursue that passion in spite of the potential fallout and potential losses? What would that look like for you? Joseph Campbell said, (and yes, I'm quoting a Mormon), "The cave you fear to enter often holds the treasure you seek."

    Kenneth - In Pursuit of Passion - 5/05/23 - S 8, Episode 5

    Living vibrantly takes courage. Choosing to pursue your passion in the face of opposition, criticism, and your own personal 'demons' of insecurity may cause anxiety beyond any you've ever experienced. But once you make the leap of faith, you ask yourself only one question; "Why did I wait so long to do this?"
