Life starts at 50, gets great at 60 and primo at 70.
If your vision for your life or business doesn't make you slightly uncomfortable, it isn't big enough. Goals calibrated to what you can already do don't require you to grow — they just ask you to repeat yourself. Real vision requires a destination that currently exceeds your capability, demands more of you than you know how to give right now, and creates just enough fear to be clarifying. This post makes the case for audacious goal-setting, explains why fear is often the most accurate compass you have, and gives you a framework for holding and growing into a vision that is genuinely bigger than your current self.The complete blog is at PureAudacity.
The permission trap is one of the most subtle and destructive forms of self-sabotage. We wait for credentials, titles, tenure, and nods from people we've quietly appointed as gatekeepers — when in reality, authority is not granted. It is declared, and then earned through the evidence of your work. The most powerful leaders, creators, and entrepreneurs in any field made their first bold move without anyone's blessing. They acted as if they belonged, and the world eventually agreed. Pure Audacity is about claiming your seat at the table — and if there's no seat, building the table yourself.

We've been sold a lie: that caution is wisdom and safety is a destination. But the truth is far more uncomfortable. Every day you choose the safe path, you're making a bet — a bet that the world will stay the same, that opportunity will wait, that your future self will somehow be braver. It won't. Playing it safe is not the absence of risk — it's a different kind of risk. It's the risk of irrelevance. The risk of regret. The risk of a life unlived. Pure Audacity knows: the boldest move is usually the smartest one. The full story is at PureAudacity.
My 45-year Boomer marriage didn’t happen by accident — it happened through love, humor, commitment, and a whole lot of learning. After marrying at 16, marrying again, and eventually finding my true partner, I discovered that long-term love thrives on emotional growth, stability, forgiveness, and choosing each other every day. Marriage isn’t old-fashioned; it’s resilient, rebellious, and deeply rewarding. With laughter, partnership, and the willingness to evolve together, a marriage can last decades and still feel alive. My story proves that long-term love isn’t just possible — it’s powerful, joyful, and worth every chapter. A major factor in our marriage has been our strong belief in God.

Velcro began with a Swiss engineer, a burr‑covered dog, and a microscope — proof that curiosity can stick. George de Mestral turned nature’s clingy weeds into the world’s most satisfying schrrrip. From NASA’s space suits to seniors’ sneakers, Velcro fastened its way into history with audacious flair. It’s the fastening friend that laughs at fumbling fingers, rescues zippers from tyranny, and reminds us that genius sometimes hides in the weeds. Whether holding astronauts steady or helping grandpa dress for bingo, Velcro proves that small hooks can make a big impact — and a big noise. The full story is at PureAudacity.
