We all reach the time in our lives when we realize we have gotten older…by that I mean, we are not the same as we were 10, 15 even 20 years ago. Physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually. And we HATE it! We try to fight it every way we can. Plastic surgery and other cosmetic treatments. We dye our hair if we notice it’s starting to go gray or white. We dress and act a lot…
Books offer amazing gifts in so many ways. I know many book lovers who are saddened that the evening is the only time that they have to read. Unfortunately, they relish a few pages but then are consumed by sleep. I truly believe that this is not the sign of a poor book or storyline that has bored one into a blurry eyes coma. Instead, these books offer us the opportunity for a calm and…
I am awful about keeping in touch with family and friends who I don’t see on a regular basis. I think about picking up the phone and making the call, but I never seem to make the time to actually follow through. And by the end of the day, I have completely forgotten who I was even thinking about calling. But when I have that nagging thought that just won’t seem to go away, I…
They say that getting there is half the fun. But when you think about your life, it is a journey that should be savored, not the end. Your reward is not getting to the end, but rather the people that you meet along the way, the magnificent places and events that you witness and the love that you are fortunate enough to discover and share along your journey. But unlike the many trips that you…

I was afforded a very unique and touching opportunity this past weekend, thanks to my son Nathan. He asked me if I would be interested in going to a local book signing on Saturday afternoon, and as a fan of pretty much all books and those who are brave enough to undertake the task of writing them, I was eager to attend. But what I quickly learned was that this was no ordinary book signing.…
When its all been said and done, make sure… You’ve lived your life to the fullest. To have given your all to your dreams. You’re fulfilled from offering all the love you could give to your neighbors and others. To be ascertained that those that have seen the light in you received healings through it. That someday, when you leave here, you’re leaving with NO regret. You became that positive change people wanna see. You’ve…
I’m sure you have gotten to the point where you are just tired of doing the same thing over and over and over again. You are about to go crazy having the same dull routine. You have this desire to shake things up a bit. Yet you don’t know what you want to do. Think about all the things you have been wanting to do, the places you want to go. Write it down…
LOVE simply is; GOD. The LOVE he has had and still having towards us will be eternally continual and unconditional. In this same vein, he (God) expects us to LOVE others (including ourselves ) in a way he’s shown us, LOVE. Loving others might be a hard nut to crack but it becomes easier to LOVE others if we LOVE our own self unwavering and undoubtedly. Most times, others make it so hard for us…
Be careful what you wish for is a good bit of advice, but it should also include the clue that you must be smart enough to know when your wish is granted. Sometimes the “wrapping” can conceal exactly what you wanted. But you must have faith and unwrap what you have, to discover your true gift.
