Navigating Change Part 3

January 18, 2020January 17, 2020 / Brian Grayum / Leave a comment

Facing death with honor I always wanted to have arms like my dad. They weren't huge Hulk Hogan arms, but they looked strong. Actually, I wanted to be like my dad in a lot of ways, as his strength lay not only in his arms but in his heart. Though he was strong, he would … Continue reading Navigating Change Part 3

A journey of the soul began with a home renovation. Photo by Aaron Burden on Unsplash  Change. It’s always on the move, and it’s always… well, changing I guess. It brings about newness and freshness, this is why some hunger for change; but with every new beginning there is also an ending of something, and … Continue reading Navigating Change Part 1

Obligation to Opportunity

June 26, 2018June 26, 2018 / Brian Grayum / Leave a comment

I had to take a moment to step outside and take a few breaths tonight. Something about the dark sky and bright stars brings me calm, and I needed to be calmed ; though I could not quite figure out why. There has been a lot going on the past few days, but it was … Continue reading Obligation to Opportunity

Breathe. That's what I tell myself as I wake up in a restless state this morning. Just breathe. It's a lot harder than it sounds, because my mind is already indexing projects that should be completed; and planning out the day ahead.
