Information & Inspiration
For all those who are striving for happiness and
success in their personal and professional lives.
After 21 years on my first domain, I launched this all-new, ad-free website so I could continue to encourage and help others through my writing and special services. Everything I write is based on decades of personal and business experience that reflects my life-related interests, philosophy, and Christian beliefs.

Timely Quotes
“Everything has already been decided. It was known long ago what each person would be. So there’s no use arguing with God about your destiny.” – King Solomon (Ecclesiastes 6:10)
“Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.”
– Samuel Ullman (1840–1924)
