About this episode
I've always been fascinated with the messages people pass forward. We grow up thinking our parents are harsh by creating rules that were put out there to help protect us. As we evolved into adult clothing those sharp words were actually very valuable. How often do you turn around and thank the child you once were? I wouldn't be celebrating 42 years of broadcasting if it wasn't for that five year old locked up in his bedroom gripping tightly to his radio dreams. But one day, I'm going to have to turn and share the conversation. To thank him then say, "It's over." The same will be true with the writer in me. That kid in the second grade that convinced Mrs. Keefe that he would be a better student if she allowed him time every day to write. I continue to do so today. Everyday! What happens when I have to turn around to have that conversation? You too! Have you already had it? Then it occurred to me on this podcast. Is that what happens during the transition? The seconds before your final breath. You slowly turn and say, "Thank you."
