I appreciate, and have always appreciated, time with you. I regret that the Pacific ocean separates us because being able to hang out more often with you would be a privilege.

You've been a good model for so many traits I admire about you. I only wish we had more time together. But then I guess I'd see your "darker" side you mentioned... and pop my "hero" bubble of you. : - ) I've been challenged this year about who I am with constently enough to be a model and mentor for. As you know I do a lot of travel and training. Coaching calls every two weeks have extending relationships with several leaders. However, there's nothing like being around people day-to-day, rubbing shoulders and hanging out. Modeling comes through the times when a leader isn't "on", as much as when he/she is doing their thing as a leader. I find I have to be more intentional about actively seeking our these relationships as I get older and busier. Is that true for you or just me?
