NEVER STOP | DREAMING BIG

A friend of mine dreamt big. At the end of and right out of college, we all were dreaming big. He, Michael Evans, had this idea for us to go in on opening a restaurant/bar that served brunch & pizza near Xavier. We all were lucky to scrape enough together for going out on a weekend, yet found ways to create adventure & make stories.

I kept the blueprints we got for that place. That was 2001. No matter where the moves happened, disagreements, drama, ...trips, divorces, jobs, houses, kids, or many of the other changes that could have caused the fallout of friendships - we all have remained a family, community of buds and buddets, and stuck together.

I have also managed to not lose the blueprints. This is a simple reminder that no matter what you're chasing, loss you're experience, changes that occur, or wins you have - your relationships are one of the most important things that matter for everyday adventure. ?#?ADV?

A reminder of this happened this past weekend when ?#?Team2001? gathered from Colorado, Texas, Ohio, West Virginia, and of course Cincinnati to celebrate my upcoming marriage through a reunion/bachelor party (?#?BBP2016?).

I didn't realize how much I missed this group being together. How fortunate are we to experience one of life's most amazing gifts - friendship. Thank you for the reminder you dusty blueprints!

My encouragement is reach out to your friends, be intentional, be of grace, and also a friend who follows through on being present no matter how busy, no matter the disagreement, or excuses. Never stop dreaming big for your family, marriage, friends, kids, jobs, dreams, faith, relationship with God, or whatever the goals. ?#?BeThere? ?#?Igetbywithalilhelpfrommyfriends?

Brian Siegel, MBA, totally agree! We let the excuse of being "too busy" get in the way connecting with friends and family in a meaningful and rewarding way.
