Reading
From the time I was a little boy, I loved to read. Reading books took me on great adventures and opened my mind to endless creative possibilities. Still to this day my desire to read remains.

I believe it will be of great benefit to you…

Here They Come
It’s that time of year again. Time for the Hallmark movies. You know the story…perfect family living in a perfect home in a perfect neighborhood. Even their dog is perfect! Suddenly, strife hits. The family bends but doesn’t break. Everything gets restored to normal and they live happily ever after…
Life isn’t a Hallmark movie. Life is hard. Do not fall into the trap of comparing your life to a Hallmark movie. It will rob you of the moments of joy life holds for you…
