Worthwhile Magazine
I have been given the task to write an article about my journey for Worthwhile Magazine. I’ll use their words to describe them: “Worthwhile is a new national magazine for readers who seek to make a difference while making a living. Its editorial mission is to put purpose and passion on the same plane as profit, offering a roadmap for readers seeking a more personally fulfilling and socially responsible route to business success.” The founders used to be with the Wall Street Journal.

Beach 9:58 PM I just came in from the first bonfire of the year. It was a 75 degree day and a beautiful night. It was funny as I sat out there with my parents, aunt and uncle as we talked about my great aunt who passed away a couple of years ago. Today was her birthday. She would have been glad to see a new Pope come out to the huge audience. I don’t know much about him, but he seemed to be in control of the situation. Time for TV. More bonfires to come…
