Most of the time nature is a very harmonious being. Plants, animals and the inhabitants of the entire planet can coexist and even benefit from one another while remaining true to their natural place and order. But there is one event which naturally occurs and always causes a contradiction. This occurs as each child nears the 16-year milestone and each parent begins to develop some serious worry lines.

Have faith in yourself and your abilities. Sometimes, believing is actually harder than completing the task at hand. But climbing a mountain always begins with a single tiny step. Stay positive and surround yourself with believers. Not only will you reach your goals but you will also be a source of inspiration to those around you. That motivation will spread far beyond your personal triumph.

Even well-crafted words are nothing more than ink stains on a page until they touch a heart and evoke emotion; at that point, they take on a life of their own and leave their mark on the world.

With busy schedules and hopefully many, many decades before these types of end of life questions need to be addressed, we often tend to see legacy as a financial term. It is going to be the inheritance that is left to our children or perhaps even grandchildren. But it is a…
Sadly, our society has chosen to use two words interchangeably, when they actually have very different meanings. Stars and heroes are two very different things.
