FROM THE OF Leave The Last Cookie For Someone Else.

"Over the years I have made a habit of jotting down thoughts born of lessons learned through experience, observation, and reflection. Or some combination thereof. Some lessons have been harder than others; sweeter than others; more defining than others. They have come through the joys and sorrows, wins and losses, good times and bad that attend any life. I am richer for having learned them through a life that’s been neither extraordinary, renowned or so far as I know, notorious. Along the way, I have entertained the notion that what I have learned might be helpful to my grandchildren someday. It is to them this little book is dedicated. And ego, being a powerful thing, has suggested others might find these observations and reflections insightful and valuable as they live and learn along life’s way. Thus, Leave The Last Cookie For Someone Else. In these pages, you will not find much narrative. Very little, in fact. What you will find are concise thoughts intended to encourage you and enrich not only your life, but the lives of those with whom you live, work, play, mentor, and love.
