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

“Too few people realize that every thought leaves a residue. This accumulated residual constitutes our subconscious and is reflected in our personality. If we have channeled happy thoughts, beautiful experiences. and treasured friendships through our minds, our entire personality and attitude reflect these experiences.” – Cavett Robert
