The news media and the politicians like to point out our differences to keep us divided. Don’t fall for it.
The truth is, everyone is unique. Even identical twins have different fingerprints! Another truth is, we are more alike than we are different…
There is a trend in the United States that has been growing for quite some time. And the trend is not a good one. In fact, it’s disturbing.
What I’m talking about is the belief that we are entitled to certain things just because we were born. This is not true. We aren’t owed anything.
We have opportunities in the U. S. not everyone has. It’s up to us to take advantage of what’s in front of us. Only a lazy person would accept whatever comes along.
We value what we earn…
Every problem our world faces is a problem of the heart. When you get your heart right, worthwhile actions follow…
I have observed an increase in rudeness over the past several years. Simple niceties like opening doors and saying ‘thank you’ are becoming rarer and rarer. I’m guessing this is because we are busier than we’ve ever been, but that doesn’t make it acceptable.
To all of my followers who read my work, thank you! I appreciate every one of you. You have a choice in how you spend your time, and I’m honored you spend a few moments with me…
In the United States, on Memorial Day we honor the men and women who lost their lives defending the freedoms we enjoy. Today is not a day of celebration, but a day of remembrance. Let us #neverforget

The government of the United States has incredible resources, but they have proven to be the worst distributor of those resources. Inefficiency and ineffectiveness prevail.
Put the money in the hands of the faith and philanthropic communities. They won’t waste anything, and you will see Heaven and earth move…
What kind of dreams do you have for your life? Do they get you excited?
All of us are dreaming of brighter futures every day. This is what hope looks like.
Dream big. Be bold. In fact, be audacious…
When I was a teenager, my life was full of anger, hatred and resentment. I couldn’t wait to get out of my cruel, sometimes violent home life. I stuffed down a lot of my feelings during these years because I wasn’t “allowed” to feel them. When I finally got free at 18 and moved out, I thought I was leaving my past behind. I thought wrong.
The trauma from the past resurfaces from time to time. Our minds are such incredible supercomputers, lighting fast and efficient at knowing what we need to live fully. We are automatically hardwired to live the way our Creator designed us to live.
Wounds from the past bubble to the top, and we can either face them or stuff them back down. They will return, but our brains know when to allow them to resurface. The wounds appear when we are ready to heal from them. The timing is perfect. Trust the timing…
Are you looking for an inspirational story to begin your day? Consider watching my interview with Viktoria Romanova as she shares her story.
Viktoriia had a nightmare. She dreamed her two year old daughter, Eva, had a blood disease. Imagine the horror she felt when the nightmare came true. Eva had leukemia.
This nightmare had a happy ending. This year Eva, now 8, won the Determination Award at her elementary school! She’s alive and thriving! Click on the link to watch:
In western culture, the number 13 is considered to represent bad luck. The “cursed” number takes its reputation from Norse mythology.
Luck doesn’t really exist except in our minds. If luck was real then life would be a series of random events. I believe there is a Divine Order to our lives that is bigger than anything we can understand.
Embrace everything that happens to you in life, even the bad stuff. When you accept that there is no randomness, only structure, it makes the bad things easier to navigate. A little easier, anyway…
