Who is he?
He is a life loving, fun loving, yet, serious minded, he’s been told, sports loving, avid learner and active individual. He loves music, kinda eclectic in that regard. Loves meat, some think him a carnivore…, am inclined to agree. He also has his struggles; a quick temper, impatient and something of a perfectionist and his own worst critic. He believes in and loves God and knows that his life is providence of which he is grateful. His singular desire is to leave a mark that generations yet unborn will remember him by, and the world will be better because he lived. Ok. Hope this did it.

A Buddhist monk once told the story of a traveler who decided to make a journey up a mountain so as to see the view from the top. He set out. When he got to the foot of the mountain, he met a fellow traveler who had just come down from the mountain and inquired of him what the climb and the view from the top was like? Our sojourner listened while the fellow traveler described his experience of the journey to the top of the mountain and the view from up top. After listening, he decided it was best he asked some more travelers before he starts up the mountain. He asked the next traveler and the next, and the next, and finally he asked thirty-three other travelers, and they all shared their experiences with him. After listening to the various travelers our sojourner decided that since he has heard all these various experiences, there was no need for him to make the journey up the mountain, after all, he has learned everything he needed from all the feedback he’s heard. And he never made the journey.
Such is life. The magic that is your life, cannot be experienced through the lenses or experiences of others. Those others, myself inclusive, may provide you with tools that may be very beneficial and heck, highly informative! But the experience of and the best answers to the circumstances of your life can be provided by ONLY YOU. My goal is to provide you with tools and help you recognize and utilize the tools that you also already possess that will help you make those best decisions. I hope.
My goal is to hopefully help people live life at their fullest potential. Find that voice, that one opinion that really matters and live by it.
“So live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide. Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, even a stranger, when in a lonely place. Show respect to all people and grovel to none. When you arise in the morning give thanks for the food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies only in yourself. Abuse no one and no thing, for abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision. When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.”
― Chief Tecumseh
