MiaGM: "I value?"

Make it a Great MondayHey Lucy,

As you know, we zipped over to Cape San Blas this weekend, and the WiFi is solid; the view from ‘my back porch office’ is rather nice, and the sunsets are remarkable.

At the end of the McConaughey podcast, which I listened to a couple of times last week, Tim Ferris asks Matthew his standard question. “So if you were to have a billboard metaphorically speaking to get a message, a question, an image, anything out to billions of people, could have a paragraph, could be a word, anything non-commercial, what might you put on that billboard?”

McConaughey: I value?’ 

“It seems that the common denominator, or the bipartisan non-denominational solid stepping stones for us to evolve as a species, as a nation, and as individuals, is based on values. The fundamental principles that we can all agree on, I don’t care what side of politics you’re on, or what religion you are, is what do we value?”

What do we really value? We all want to be relevant. Well, let’s ask, “Relevant for what?”

Make it a great Monday,

Dad

NUGGETS began in the fall of 2010 when our oldest daughter left for college. (Make it a Great Monday; Stay Whole Tuesday; Woman Power Wednesday; Make Anything Thursday; and Fit as a Fiddle Friday.) All these years later, we have a UGA grad, a SCAD grad, a Fightin’ Texas Aggie grad, and 1500 nuggets. Plus, Mum and Dad up and moved to England. Those are my daughters above, and their guiding light – truly my every gPage Singletary thing.

Dear Harvey: Staying in the Game

In the end, Harvey, you left us your Little Red Book—a lifetime of lessons condensed into something small enough to fit in a pocket, yet broad enough to guide generations. These letters are my attempt, in a much humbler way, to do the same—to gather what the game has taught me so far, and to keep discovering what lies at the edges.
