Imagine living all your life in a city you were born and raised in, established your business in, were raising your children in, and had a wonderfully fulfilling life focused on family, friends and community. Then one day you were told to get out, because a Category 5 hurricane was headed to New Orleans. Her name was Katrina.
Click on the link to watch my interview with Rick Bologna as he walks us through the personal hell that Katrina brought on his family. And learn how God used this catastrophe to bring Rick to his true purpose in life…

Fear
Not all fear is bad. We are hardwired to feel fearful in dangerous situations. But the fear of failure, fear of success (yes, it exists) and fear of other people’s judgments is unhealthy. It will leave us unfulfilled and frustrated. If you are fearful, do the work on yourself to release the fear and live fully. Self-work isn’t easy, but it’s worth it…
Rise Up
You can arise from any situation. You must get your mindset right and believe in yourself. Believe that you can accomplish anything you set your mind to, because you can…
Spectator Sports
I love watching great athletes. My dream when I was a teenager was to play safety in the NFL. My dream wasn’t to become a reality because I didn’t possess the physical gifts to play at that level. So I’m content being a spectator.
Life isn’t a spectator sport, though. We must get in the game every day and give it everything we have. All of us are gifted in some special way. You know your talents. Use them for the benefit of others. You will benefit, too…
Times Really Does Fly!
Today is my 65th birthday. While many people think of that as retirement age, retirement has never crossed my mind. In fact, I’m more ambitious now than I have ever been. There’s much to accomplish to continue bringing light into the lives of others. We are born into a period of time that is according to God’s plan, and every life has a greater purpose. Find yours and pursue it with everything you have in you. Age exists only in our head and our heart…
Time
Albert Einstein proved through mathematics that there is no such thing as time as we know it. We have constructed time to block out our lives in ways that are meaningful to us. Speaking of meaningful, I encourage you to use your time wisely. Our time is the greatest gift we can give someone. Use it well…
Falling Down
All of us have fallen down when we are pursuing a goal. Get back up and get after it, knowing you may fall again. The path to success is never a straight line. Just keep going…
The Thief
There has been a robbery! But not to worry. What was stolen can be regained. The thief is comparison. Comparison robs us of our identity when we start looking at our current standings versus others. People compare over money, looks and jobs. You are who God created you to be. He doesn’t make mistakes, nor does He look at his work and think you could have been improved.
Embrace your uniqueness, accept yourself as you are, always trying to improve. God is the authority over our lives. That’s good enough for me…
Grateful…
This morning I woke up with an overwhelming amount of gratitude. I’m grateful every day, but even more so today. Last night I had a car wreck that could have ended my life and the lives of the young men who hit me. All of us are pretty banged up, but we will heal physically. God protected us, no doubt. He’s not finished with us, and I am forever grateful to Him…
Empowerment
We, as human beings, have been given the greatest gift from our Creator: our minds. We have the ability to think critically and discern what is good for us from what is not. We are empowered to grow and thrive. We can do anything we put our minds to…
