Chris, this is great and very heartfelt. We are reaching the phase of life where we have built/"taken" a lifetime of experiences that have shaped who we are. The good, the bad, the success, the failures. We are now in the phase of giving, sharing, passing along our life lessons as a parent, coach, friend, mentor, etc...the next generation. We can continue to serve our family, friends, communities in many ways. Big props to this work you are undertaking! Big hug to you.

Thanks so much brother. It's funny I was talking to a therapist recently who told me that I'd been a student most of my life and it might be time to be more of a teacher. Exactly what you are saying. I think it's probably true for all of us. Really appreciate the support and big hug back at ya!
