The PEP Institute: Software as a Sacred Service

Some rooms honor where you’ve been while opening your eyes to where we’re going next. This one did both.

Last week, I attended a wonderful Legends of Basketball gathering hosted at Microsoft’s corporate office in Atlanta. The room brought together retired NBA and WNBA players, Harlem Globetrotters, international players, and people whose lives and legacies have been shaped by the game.

We learned from LinkedIn and Microsoft—including a practical look at Microsoft Copilot and the possibilities emerging through AI. Yet the most powerful part of the day was beautifully human: the conversations, laughter, shared wisdom, and connection between generations of basketball legends.

Sharing the experience with my husband, Brown, and our son, Brown, made it especially meaningful. Basketball has been woven into our family’s story for decades, so being together in a room where legacy was honored and new possibilities were explored felt deeply personal.

The game may change. The tools may evolve. But excellence, relationships, and the wisdom we pass forward will always matter.

A few beautiful moments from a day filled with legacy, learning, family, and genuine connection. 🏀✨

44 years married. ❤️

And I can hardly believe it.

That doesn’t even include the four years Rick and I were friends in college… or the two years we were engaged.

That is a whole lot of life together.

And what touches me most is this:

We still like each other.

We still love each other, deeply. We still laugh out loud together. We can still be silly, still talk, still enjoy being in the same room.

And we know how to cry hard together, too.

We have raised three children into adulthood.

We have celebrated beautiful moments, walked through hard seasons, grown up together in so many ways, and lived through the unimaginable heartbreak of burying our son.

Some things change you forever.

And some things teach you what love is really made of.

Our marriage has never been about perfection. It has been about becoming.

Growing.
Forgiving.
Learning.
Choosing.
Finding our way back to one another.
And allowing love to mature with us.

Rick, you were my friend before you were my husband.

And 44 years later, you are still my friend.

I honor the man you have become beside me.

And today, I honor the woman I have become beside you, too.

After all we have lived through together, here we are…

Still laughing.
Still growing.
Still choosing.
Still loving.
Still liking each other.

And that feels like one of the greatest blessings of my life.

Happy 44th anniversary to us, Rick.

There’s my love.
There’s my friend.
There’s my Rick.

And after all these years…

I’m still glad it’s you. ❤️

She said yes.

Something feels misaligned.

Not wrong. Not cracked. Just... not yours.

You’ve achieved. You’ve built. You’ve proven yourself by every external measure—and still, there’s a quiet voice that says: I know there’s another way.

The Life Possible isn’t a workshop. It’s a recalibration.

For 🩵YOU, if you’ve outgrown performing excellence and ready to inhabit it.
