My friend RJ is always good for an epiphany or two every time we talk. Yesterday he introduced me to Edith Eva Eger, author of The Choice. She says:

I am Dr. Edith Eva Eger. Since my childhood days in Hungary, friends and family have called me Edie. We lived a ‘normal life’, a happy life, uneventful in its quiet bliss. Then it was slowly, yet suddenly, all taken away, altering the course of my life forever.

Edith Eva Eger

Hear her talk about her choice…

Now that you’ve been introduced to Edith, how will you respond?

Joshua Chamberlain: The Deciding Moment

Disregard the religiosity at the end if you will, but this video makes an interesting point. If Joshua Chamberlain were not the man he was would the world be the same? i.e. could Hitler have won, etc.?

Burn The Ships

A song for new beginnings…

The song is based on this legend:

There are differing perceptions about what happened to Hernán Cortés’s ships. Some think that he burned the vessels, and others believe he beached them.[10] The notion that he burned his ships did not become accepted until 250 years later.[10] However, Bernal Díaz del Castillo, while attending an expedition with Cortés, gives reason to believe that Cortés ran them ashore.[10] In a letter to King Charles, Cortés states that his ships were incapable of sailing, telling his men the reason was shipworm.[10] However, after establishing the town of Vera Cruz, five Aztec emissaries arrived which made Cortés anxious to visit Tenochtitlán.[11] Therefore, he destroyed all of his ships but one, which he sent back to Spain for King Charles.[10] The fear of his men returning to Cuba, rather than embarking on the journey to the Aztec Empire, made him decide to demolish his ships.[12] They no longer had an option but to accompany him on this journey. This decision brought about severe consequences because Cortés had trapped himself in Mexico.

I saw Paul in concert in Green Bay, WI, earlier this year. I have been a fan all my life but had never seen him in person. When he hit that classic chord from Hard Day’s Night to open the concert, I wept. Just found this little gem. Enjoy…
