The D Word

Listen to "The D Word" on Spreaker. My Mother isn't afraid of the D word. She just doesn't use it as part of her vocabulary. Her method of thinking looks to have found a continuation in me. On today's show I read from April 22, 2016. The daily writer speaks clearly about the loss of Prince. But never within the presented paragraphs does he mention how he has passed. As a writer I drew readers into a picture of memories extending their strings beyond the legacy. There weren't going to be any new concerts or extremely creative interviews on YouTube but Prince did record music as often as he could. I always found it to be quite inspiring that he'd put everything in the vault. Michael Jackson did the same. Creative energy isn't supposed to be a feeder of this moment only. To wave goodbye to somebody is truly not seeing who they were as a person beyond a simple conversation. So I ask on The Choice today what you've done or are doing in your walk forward that will find life beyond the final breath. I'm not shy to admit that my relationship with my father Joe is stronger in the years after then it was when I could pick up the phone and talk about whatever made him laugh. But I've never used the D word when describing that relationship. Lets look at it through the eyes of being an employee. Everything you are today is the continuation of what someone shared with you while growing into this moment. I've been blessed with a 40 year broadcast career and everything I write, produce and perform today is a lesson learned along the way. Bosses totally tormented me during those younger years and yet today I see them as heroes. Try it out sometime. Look beyond the D word. Find a new field to plant what you've been given. What if today life truly begins?
