AHA Moment
The folks over at Mutual of Omaha's Aha Moment Tour came through Winston-Salem, NC a couple of weeks ago. I shared an aha moment of my own.
Find my aha moment here: Kim E Williams' aha moment.
Be sure and click through the rest of the Winston-Salem videos. There are some amazing stories.
Thanks to Jessica, Ben, Natalie and Gary for capturing our community on video.

Holding the Hand of God - an ahamoment
I had two wonderful privileges over the past two days.
1. I got to meet, via an impromptu tweetup, the Crew from Mutual of Omaha's ahamoment tour.
Meet Gary, Natalie, Ben and Jessica (she's the boss). These great folks have the pleasure of touring the nation and listening to and cataloging the powerful and often emotional stories of extra-ordinary people. Their energy is contagious, their patience almost inexhaustible and their smiles electric. The #ahatour team is worth knowing.
2. I recorded my own ahamoment entitled "Holding the Hand of God." Drop back later this week and I'll post a link to it for you to hear - once it is available and I've viewed it to make sure I didn't say anything too embarrassing eh.
If you are living in one of the upcoming tour stops, make a point to seek these folks out. Your life will be better.
We had fun!

212 Degrees. The extra degree
If you aren't willing to work, extra, you will not receive the reward of success.

Hear It Read - Audio Post
I wanted to try posting some audio to accompany the written word. I've reposted a short creative piece I wrote a few weeks back and added an audio message. Please let me know what you think.
Thanks to AudioBoo for the technology.
Before she quickly brushed it aside, her single tear drop traced a trail - like a silver scalpel slicing so quickly through flesh that the very bone is revealed before blood begins to rush through the wound - such was this tear - a momentary revealing that she cared too much, that her need was too great and that her hope for recognition, salvation actually, would not come. Not tonight.

Freedom Diving
I thought only death would be so peaceful
My ears are useless, muffled and deaf
I don’t breathe now, lungs stopped
Idol
My heart slows, relaxing under increased pressure
Sight is all that remains
An opaque vision of color and life
Serenity
I can’t stay here
This momentary peace must yield
To the screams of my lungs and mind
Up
Toward the surface
To the world of air breathing creatures
And over stimulated demands
Note: On free diving in the Atlantic near Bermuda.
