We are in the last week before Christmas. The true message of Christmas is hope whether you believe in God or not. Hope gets lost in the madness of shopping, wrapping gifts and attending parties. But hope is what keeps us going, even when it isn’t Christmas time. Stay hopeful. Better days are coming. Just believe…

Listen!
When you rearrange the letters in the word “silent,” you get “listen.” Coincidence? I don’t think so. A wise person listens more than he speaks…
Patience…
It’s said that patience is a virtue, but I see it as an opportunity when we practice patience. Why do we get upset or angry when traffic is moving slowly. Or if the checkout line at the grocery store is long? These opportunities, and other similar circumstances allow us to slow down, notice the people around us, and perhaps take time to engage with them. Our culture is a culture of busyness, not human connection. We need to connect with others…and stop rushing through life.
Morning
There is something special about the early morning. There exists a peace like no other. The quiet is rejuvenating…
Alone
If we learned anything from the pandemic, it’s that we are not meant to be alone. We are hardwired to be connected with each other…in community. Reach out to someone who might be by themselves. Just check in with them. Saying a simple “hello” might be exactly what they need…
Activity
It has become an honor to be known as the busiest person around. Has this become the culture of America? I hope not. We must make time for what matters most: people. If we gain wealth but have no real friends and our family merely tolerates us, we aren’t winning the game of life. Examine your focus. Recommit to the people who care about you…
Bring Light…
What are you spreading into the lives of those who you care about? Rid yourself of gossip, innuendo and drama. Be a light in the world. You will shine brightly in the darkness…
Monday
Why does Monday always get a bad rap? I know it means the weekend is over, but you will have another weekend in five days. If you woke up this morning and are reading this, be grateful. You have another day to live. Anyone whose name is listed in the obituary column would gladly trade places with you on your worst Monday. Something to consider…
Peaceful…
There is a lot of noise in the world, and some days it seems like it is never ending. We, as human beings, need peace in our lives. Carve out some time every day to gather your thoughts and sit peacefully. The noise will be waiting for you when you return…
Interview With Zetti Carnell

The first interview I did for my podcast was with Zetti. Although I had been interviewed hundreds of times, I had never interviewed anyone else. She made my job easy because she openly and transparently shared her life story. Hollywood couldn’t script a better story. Click on the link to listen. You will not be disappointed…
