Growing up in Chicago, I, among many others, got my daily sports news from Tim Weigel on our local ABC affiliate. A former football player at Yale, Weigel had a great passion for sports, but he also had fun with it. When he gave a speech at my old high school, I desperately tried to meet him but was unsuccessful. Sadly, in June 2001, Weigel died of a brain tumor.
A few months back, while wandering around a book store, I saw Stay Tuned: Conversations with Dad from the Other Side, a book by Jenniffer Weigel (Tim’s daughter). I picked it up, figuring I would get some good stories about Weigel. I did get those good stories — and so much more.
Stay Tuned is about the Weigels’ lives, specifically about the journey they took and are still taking. Tim looked for alternative methods to treat his condition. Jenniffer looked for alternative answers in life and death. That is just my very simplistic breakdown, but the book really is so much more.
Last Friday I attended a book discussion held by Jenniffer and Dr. Therese Rowley, a local psychic who just happens to also be a strategic business consultant. Rowley played a big part in Jenniffer’s journey and in Stay Tuned.
The evening was enlightening, calming and entertaining. Therese is so well-grounded and comfortable, and Jenniffer is a ball of controlled energy. Theirs is a perfect partnership, and it came through throughout the night as well as in the book. They weren’t there to preach (and neither am I). In fact, most of what they said is already within us all. They are just trying to help us find the way to bring it out and to find our way. A recurring theme is that we are just where we are supposed to be. They talked about our place in the world and how to understand the ramifications. It’s about managing your life — both business and personal.
It’s amazing how this journey of life has so many business applications. Jenniffer’s transition from an unhappy journalist is one such example. She figured out a way to get the most out of her personal life during her employment as a journalist. Her career path presented chances for her to talk to some of the great spiritual minds of today. It’s another lesson we all could learn. Last Friday, at Burke’s Book Store, I was where I was supposed to be. Oh, and I am pretty sure I met a little bit of Tim Weigel there, too.
