I've been many places that I haven't really been. What I mean is that I go from the airport, to the hotel, to the event, back to the hotel and fly out the next morning. I strive to remain centered so I can write and speak from my heart. If I'm in a different city every day all year round, I can't be balanced and perform at my best. I make time for things other than working.
Balance is an important key to life.
Actually this would be a long story in which I could start in several places. I didn't major in journalism. I don't have a friend or relative in the business. And I don't work for a magazine or newspaper. My interest in writing was a passion I had as a boy.
