Paragonfire - The Why

June 6, 2017

One theme that has always struck a deep cord is the "process" in which a diamond evolves. On the surface, we see a beautiful, yet profoundly strong, gemstone that is sought after and highly valued. If we look deeper, we see the raw material, forged from an unassuming piece of coal, that under extreme fire and pressure evolved and became a diamond. 

How true is this of life? To see the coal and never see what could be? To never dare to walk into the fire for risk of burning away instead of embracing the flames and transforming into something greater? Something better. 

What is Paragon? 

A perfect diamond. An ideal to strive for. A model of excellence. Paragon is our dream of transformation through inspiration and purpose. 

What will you choose? To remain the coal or will you dare to risk it all and embrace the flame? 

Welcome to the fire.

Why Do You Write?
February 13, 2021

I write, because I have always written. It is as much a part of me as the blood that courses through my veins.

Things In The Mirror Are Closer Than They Appear
February 6, 2021

With 2020 in the rearview mirror, I am reminded of the saying that ‘things in the mirror are closer than they appear.'

Isn’t that the truth?

Curbside Delivery – When It’s Patients, Not Produce
November 6, 2020

In truth, of course I had a team – nurses, physicians, techs and more. But, they are not with me the entire time. They are not there, holding my hand. Mostly, I feel alone.

When My Mask Falls
October 7, 2020

Taking my mask off in the past, was a simple, thoughtless endeavor. It was almost freeing, in fact, to take it off and discard the mask and never think about it again.

Unfortunately, that is no longer the case.
