Love is the one true religion, in my humble opinion. True because Love is the only path to true freedom. Consider these thoughts: Love forgives     even when I feel hurt     because forgiveness sets me free. Love communicates     since wisdom has taught me     that Healing is born in dialogue.

Here is another post I made in July of 2015. Following a Toastmaster’s Meeting in which my friend John Ruck read the following passage from Og Mandino’s book, The Greatest Salesman in the World, I went home and found this passage. I found it in the book listed as scroll II. Consider these thoughts:  I… Continue reading I Will Great This Day With Love in my Heart

I published this piece of prose on July 25th 2007 but it was on a different server and the blog was under a different name, so I doubt there is any record of it, save the possibility of someone, on my list at that time, having kept it because it spoke to them.

No, my longing is to have such an amazingly discerning eye, a gifted descriptive mind, and a vocabulary that allows for… Continue reading Oh, To Be Like Mary Oliver

Today I want to briefly examine happiness versus pleasure. Happiness is such a broad topic; I find it remarkably difficult to approach. In the past when I have discussed happiness I have received considerable criticism, mostly from people who disagreed with my perception of what it means to be happy. Happiness is an individual endeavor;… Continue reading Happiness is a Choice

Hidden treasure: Uncovering the truth in your own life story. (2011). New York: Jeremy P. Tarcher.

On July 22nd I hastily posted a Secret entitled: Prayer for an Open Heart and Mind and I mentioned that I would like to share some quotes from authors who addressed this idea that “we are not our stories.” First off, I apologize to everyone for posting such a poorly written piece. I wrote it… Continue reading Life Can be Effortless
