Ladies’ luncheons have become a lost art. The food fills the tummy, but the conversation often nourishes the soul.
Thinking long term is especially challenging in the time in which we are living. Everything is fast food, fast delivery, quick pleasure, short attention spans, and immediate adrenaline fixes. We want everything to happen yesterday. Advertisers exaggerate how quickly we’ll see results if we try their products. Everything is the quick-fix approach.

If you want to create a compelling future, you have got to get on top of who is getting your attention.

Being a musician for practically my entire life, I can’t help but associate most of life’s events with songs. Lyrics and melodies are powerful and, next to God, can move the souls of people like no other. For example, I turned 64 this year, I grew up hearing the Beatles song, “When I’m 64.” For a…
