    Sudden Shifts
    Apr 7 2024
    In many ways, this podcast is about timing. Turning 40 years is primarily a conversation about timing.

    The timing of the events in our lives. The timing of the seasons and stages of our lives.

    Bad timing. Good timing. Unbelievably fortunate timing. Unbelievably tragic timing.

    How many of us are approaching 40 in a season of life where we cannot afford for anything to go wrong because we have too many people, and things, to care for?

    There's a difference between caring about someone or something and caring for that person or thing.

    What are you caring for at this stage of your life?
    Who are you caring for as you approach 40?
    What do you when what you cared for is gone?
    How do you handle the sudden shifts in life that cause endings you didn't have time to prepare for?

    Grateful for Grays
    Mar 27 2024
    My hair-related fears and concerns about aging never included worrying about seeing my hair turning gray. My two biggest concerns had always been about developing a receding hairline and balding.

    During a routine trip to the office bathroom at work, following a recent visit to my barber for my monthly haircut, I was stunned to discover two new strands of bright gray hair sticking out of my beard.

    Seeing my hair turn gray is one of the few life milestones I have experienced alone, and it got me to thinking about the kind of life milestones that define the first part of our lives, and the kind of milestones that will define this stage of life.

    Elevator Floors
    Feb 28 2024
    A few days ago, I had the unfortunate experience of being stuck in an elevator at my job for an hour. On the 13th Floor. On a Friday afternoon.

    While this highly irritating, slightly traumatizing ordeal was taking place, I decided to do what most writers do. I took this unexpected prompt, opened my notes app, and started writing.

    This experience was a good metaphor for life moments that happen to many people around 40. Moments when we get stopped, moments where we find ourselves stuck.
