For those of you who read the article about me written by Dale Reynolds for A & U Magazine, you are farmilliar with my friend I mentioned there, David Lee (Dalee) Henderson. Dalee passed away last week and left behind an amazing legacy of inspiration, unyeilding faith, and conviction. He is the person from whom I have learned so much about unconditional love. He conducted his life with elegance, dignity, and honor like very few people I have known and he was revered by all who knew him as a spiritual bastion in tumultuous times. The outgoing message on his answering machine is an excellent snapshot of who he was:"WAKE UP!! And experience the love, the light, the joy, the splendor, the MIRACLE of life. Simply by being alive, you have been invited to the greatest show in the universe. Sit back, relax, take a deep breath, and enjoy the show... Leave a message."
-Dalee Henderson 1952-2005
Thank-you Dalee. We all loved you so much.
And that is exactly what he did with his life - leave a message.
Who in your life was an inspiration to you? Who left a message with you that shaped who you are? And because of their influence, what message will you leave? Please share a tribute to them here.
Much Love,
ALL THINGS POSSIBLE,
Chris

PS: Here is a rare behind the scenes pic of my buddie I mention below, Gregg Hoffman. Gregg was one of the producers of George Of The Jungle 2 and a wonderful human being. He had just produced the SAW Franchise. He was kind and fun. Actually, you can see him in George of the Jungle 2 for about a second. He is the man at the craps table in Las Vegas wearing the black shirt that roles the dice just before George does a belly flop on the table.
