For all those who are striving for happiness and

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 Quote
“Be as smart as you can, but remember that it’s always better to be wise than to be smart. And don’t be upset that it takes a long, long time to find wisdom. Like a rare virus, wisdom tends to break out at unexpected times, and it’s mostly people with compassion and understanding who are are susceptible to it.” – Alan Alda, from “Dig Into the World” article in Reader’s Digest
