Sixteen–actually, near seventeen years ago, I started working with Janet Clazzy. In kind, she started working with me. We work together.
It is a great source of bafflement to many people–how a man and woman can combine in a partnership of creativity without a marriage certificate or without having Dr. Phil on speed dial.
But life is all about giving respect and never limiting the potential of anyone based on what you see, what you believe or what you were taught as a child. Because of that, we have done some magnificent things and have learned a whole parcel of inspiring lessons. May I share?
1. It’s not so much what you do as who you do it with.
2. Family is where we experiment with kindness and honesty to make ourselves ready for a new world of brothers and sisters.
3. America is not a land of conservatives, liberals, Republicans, Democrats, old, young, gay and straight. America is like a waiting room, anxiously looking for a way to get started.
4. Hospitality isn’t a location–it’s the true evidence of intelligence.
5. Talent increases with integrity.
6. Women are men trying to be women in a world that worships manhood–but needs equality.
7. Success is achieved by avoiding fads which historically have fizzled.
8. Music is emotion; emotion is human.
9. We don’t find faith through God–we uncover God through using our faith.
10. Timing is learning how to avoid wasting the next moment.
11. Don’t get cheap where people can see it.
12. Find good people and let them be good.
13. The more you become offended, the poorer you are.
14. Cheer for humanity to win.
15. No one ever got happy by discovering what is bad.
16. Keep creating–and God will partner with you.
17. And finally, in honor of our upcoming seventeenth year of fellowship, find a way to get closer with more humans.
I enjoy working with another person who is learning the power of vulnerability so as to eliminate the necessity of dong it over again.
It’s been a good ride.
