Father-of-the-Bride

Rick wrote this in the early afternoon:

This weekend I’m going to be the proud father-of-the-bride. My youngest daughter, Teri Lauren, will become Mrs. Kyle Watters in Belleville, Ontario. Jenn and I will take the 3 hour drive from Brantford early Friday afternoon to arrive in time for the rehearsal dinner at 5PM. We’ll meet my eldest daughter, Sara, and my grandsons, Corbin and Cameron, (as well as my sisters and other family members) at the hotel we’re all staying at, and enjoy a great time with the family. I’d love to tell you what we got Teri and Kyle for their wedding gift but they read this blog:-) I’ll be sure to post a few pictures when I arrive back next week.

As e-fate would have it, I have an extremely busy week ahead of me with guest appearances on 3 teleseminars as well as a myriad of things to do with my podcast. Also, I began the process of reinstalling programs on my main PC, which as you may recall, bit the dust 2 weeks ago. Brand new motherboard and it’s back to it’s fast and furious self! I love this Toshiba multi-media laptop but not for all-the-time use.

My pod partner, Larry, took off on vacation again. He popped up on MSN this morning to tell me how nice the weather was while I was staring out my office window at a snowstorm! With friends like that . . . :-)

I came across this as I was assembling material for my podcasts on the subject of Leadership and I hope you like it:

He who leads

Must then be strong and hopeful as the dawn

That rises unafraid and full of joy

Above the blackness of the darkest night.

He must be kind to every living thing;

Kind as the Krishna, Buddha and the Christ,

And full of love for all created life.

Oh, not in war shall his great prowess lie,

Nor shall he find his pleasure in the chase.

Too great for slaughter, friend of man and beast,

Touching the borders of the Unseen Realms

And bringing down to earth their mystic fires

To light our troubled pathways, wise and kind

And human to the core, so shall he be,

The coming leader of the coming time.

- Ella Wheeler Wilcox, “from “The Leader to Be”"
