As I’ve mentioned previously – your PATH to giving wings to your dreams begins with positive choices. But what does that look like? What does it feel like? Here are 26 concepts, wrapped around the ABC’s, to consider as you continue on your journey! Act – take actions and know that one of two things will happen.

Each of us has a Unique Soul Purpose! Few of us know what it is. And that’s ok because you’re now HERE! One day, maybe today, you woke up and found yourself tired of asking “Why am I here?” Like many of us, you believe you are trapped and your purpose or that “why” will only be answered after you die. It’s a pretty hopeless feeling. You might even feel discouraged to find that you keep following someone else’s idea … Continue reading →
I know there are those who “hate” Christmas because of the shopping, the money, the inordinate overflow of traffic, the “tacky” decorations, and some even hate the music. Additionally, there are those that suggest we cancel Christmas. It seems that every year for the last few years I have gotten ill with some form of sinus challenge and all of its resulting coughing, fatigue, sleeplessness and so on. However, I have given little thought to it previously. Therefore, when asked … Continue reading →
Sanford’s Turn It had been a week now and Daniel didn’t feel like he had any better answers. Rather, he didn’t feel like he had any answers at all. Moreover, even though he would see Russell at his house, he hadn’t been back at school since they had gotten the news about his brother. While it was uncomfortable it still seemed removed from his home life. Then one day it seemed everything else seemed to crumble. Daniel and his family … Continue reading →
Daniel’s First Question Is Answered It was a sunny autumn day and the first day back to school when Daniel received the answer to his question. He had been asking himself how they would know something happened to Sanford but it never occurred to him that he might learn the answer at the expense of his best friend’s family. Daniel and Russell had ridden the bus together that morning and in the excitement they found themselves talking about what it … Continue reading →
A Summer of Fun Running up to catch a pop-up fly to center field Daniel threw the ball to the pitcher and hustled back to 3rd base only to find himself thinking about their last letter from Sanford. “There’s a lot of fighting going on over here and I can’t go into much detail but I’m doing ok”, Sanford had said. He’d gone on to write that he didn’t know when he’d be coming home. One of his friends had … Continue reading →
Missing Sanford Time seemed to drag on and the first few weeks after Sanford left everything seemed eerily quiet around the house but, as time would have it, some sense of routine returned. As the days passed, and before the sun became so hot that all you could think of was a cool shady spot, Daniel and Russell would head out on their bikes soon after breakfast and throw a few balls or get some batting practice in at the … Continue reading →
The Graduation Party Daniel could feel the sun streaming through the window and knew that today was going to be another brilliantly warm June day and as he lay there, unwilling to part with his comfortable pillow and cool sheets, he knew something was different and he was scared. He was only 8 years old and for a kid, it was the “not knowing what was going on” that was the hardest. Sanford, Daniel’s brother, was leaving home today, Daniel … Continue reading →
On the path to your ideal life, there may be many growth opportunities and I’ve have been down…oh, pretty much all of them personally either directly or indirectly. When you understand that any outcome you experience is directly related to your response to an event rather than the event itself it’s easier to clear away your chosen path. I believe the PATH to your ideal life is pretty simple. Note: not necessarily easy! You start out with positive choices. Nearly … Continue reading →
In everyone’s life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit. ~ Albert Schweitzer Do you believe in coincidences? Me neither. I believe everything happens for a reason, even if we never see the connection. Oh, we don’t have to get caught up in trying to figure it all out but we needn’t blow … Continue reading →
