If you believe the news stories from around the world, they would have you believe that danger lurks around every corner, and that we live in division. Turn the news off. Yes, it’s true that you cannot legislate evil out of the hearts of mankind, but I believe in the goodness of people. I see acts of kindness every day. Simple acts that help, not hurt. Get away from the negative. If something big happens, you will hear about it. Pursue what brings light and life into your life…

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…
What To Say…
What do you say when you don’t know what to say?
Thursday evening, I received an email from a dear friend of mine. She was letting me know that her beautiful, bright 24 year old daughter had committed suicide in early July. I was stunned and extremely sad at the same time. You want to say something to take away the pain they are feeling, but there are no words. All I could say was that I would keep her and all of her family in my prayers, praying for peace and clarity. And that I was sending light and love to them.
There are no words in these situations. Just be there.
Stories…
Behind the eyes of every person lies a story. Seek to know the heart of others. Look behind their outward appearance. See through them, don’t merely look at them…
What Lies Beneath…
Everyone is struggling with something. Let’s treat others with kindness…
Untouchable…
Always tell the truth, and you won’t have to remember what you said to anyone. People who lie are living with chaotic minds…
See Through…
We have a tendency to see the outside of people and project onto them how we think they are. We must look deeper, see into the heart of the person. Look beyond what you see. Remember this is a person with goals, dreams, desires, painful memories, maybe even trauma in their makeup. See through them. Get to know them…
Time…
Time almost stands still when I’m engaged in stimulating conversation. I love the human connection, and I love when my curiosity is stimulated. We all need more of that and less television…
Good Health…
Good health is within your reach if you really want it. Get plenty of rest, eat good, natural foods, exercise for an hour every day, read good books and articles, and take time to connect with other people. You will live longer and feel better. The choice is ours…
