So why exactly did I title my blog the way I did? Perhaps a little explanation is needed?
First of all, I think it is pretty funny and belies the playfulness with which I strive to live my life. I mean, if we're not having fun then what is the point exactly? I know there are times to be serious, but does life really have to be heavy, deep and real ALL the time?
Secondly, I think this blog title conveys a little deeper sense of who I am... I am someone who (when I am authentically myself and not "playing small") is powerful and passionate about life and what we can accomplish while we are here.
Lastly, I am someone who has always been a compassionate bloke, always striving to help others (and myself) find the healing, health and wholeness we all deserve. I did this as a young child, I did this as a physical therapist, and now I am doing it as a pastor and coach. As Parker Palmer titled one of his books, I realized that I needed to "Let (My) Life Speak."
Thoughts or feedback? I would love to hear it...
My life has always been about healing and compassion, from my career as a physical therapist to now being a United Methodist pastor and professional coach. I see myself as a kind of "Adventure Guide" that isn't solely worried about the end destination but is instead focused on passionately, powerfully and playfully leading people to pay attention to where they are on their journey.
