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

“There are times in our lives when we have to realize that the past is precisely what it is, and we cannot change it. But we can change the story we tell ourselves about it. And by doing that, we can change the future.” – Eleanor Brown, American novelist

“Two of the most important lessons in writing, and in life: Every person is more complicated than they seem to be, and each of us is better than our worst mistake.” – Connie Schultz, columnist and author
