Greetings from the great state of Alabama – Roll Tide Roll!!
Today, we’re going to cover an important topic – the three types of tracing. So you ask, why all these threes? The number three is generally attributed with a meaning of completeness: A beginning, middle, an end. Birth, life, death. Past, present, future. Sun, Moon, Earth. Two lines cannot connect without a third line to form the heavily symbolic triangle. Notwithstanding the obvious allusion to the Holy Trinity in Christianity – religions of many varieties are chock full of occurrences of threes. And, when have you ever heard a Genie offer less than three wishes? Oh yeah, one helpful bit of advice when you’re outside: “Leaves of Three: Let them be!” (poison ivy) (more…)

Greetings from the great state of Alabama Roll Tide Roll!
I tend to operate under the totem of the Bear, and as anyone with half a brain can tell you: Don’t poke the Bear. Well this Bear has come out of hibernation (my previously announced sabbatical) for this one-time blog post on a subject I felt compelled to share with all of you as we consider the annual gathering for the North American Repossessor Summit of 2014 in Dallas TX.
At the 2013 NARS convention I ran into a very old friend, Paul Kulas, with whom I had not spoken or seen in years. What started as a chance encounter developed into a 4-hour conversation in the lobby of the hotel, allowing our old friendship to click once again as though we had been speaking to each other every day. He was a scheduled presenter for NARS 2013, and he delivered one of the most engaging talks of the event. I truly hope they bring him back and give him more time to talk!
