Thank you for such a kind comment!

After a lifetime of feeling driven to excel, provide, and be...according to everyone else's expectations..one night changed my life forever! That and many more experiences later became the basis for my four books.

If people are NOT happy ...there may be a reason.

As an ER chaplain, in corporate America, and in countless "chance" encounters, I have been repeatedly there as people's live were totally changed in the blink of an eye. My finding is that one must know who they are, what they love and do THAT at all costs. Beyond that...find faith. THAT is not preaching and has nothing to do with religion.

When those "red flags" go off inside you, they are there for a reason. Life and living can be truly beautiful, but it's up to you to constantly leave yourself open and positioned to see and fully experience that beauty. Be good to yourself, don't beat yourself up ..or ever allow others to. There will be hard times, but we are all in this together. Sometimes those hard times are doors opening. When you hear that inner voice..listen and discern. Celebrate the good!

Enjoy LOTS of mater samwiches and savor the moment!
