W.I.N.

I was recently diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma and am now undergoing treatment at the Arizona Cancer Center. It's a rough time, but I am grateful for the love and support from my family, friends and colleagues. I accept this challenge like others in my life as something to work through and overcome. I will also use this opportunity to refocus my life on "What's Important Now?" inspired by coaching great Lou Holtz's powerful W.I.N. acronym.

What is important now? For me it is to refocus on my faith, family and health. To succeed I will need to stick to the task at hand and attend daily, even hourly to what really matters. This W.I.N message has resonated with me in part because I have tried to live by this philosophy for as long as I can remember, but I also realize that even a fairly disciplined person like myself needs refocusing at times. Keep sending prayers my way, and it's not too soon to ask yourself again "What's Important Now?"
