A Facebook friend posed a very interesting question to me recently in a private message. She wanted to know if I thought unconditional love was possible with anyone but your children. Honestly, I had never given such a profound and thought-provoking question any consideration. My friend is a single, middle-aged woman, who like many of […]
How ironic is this. We spend most of our adult lives trying to distance ourselves from who we are. Working hard to fulfill our highest dreams and aspirations. To create a life for ourselves and our children that was better than the life our parents had. Ultimately, as we age, at least in my case, […]
Let me tell you a story. I confess to being a needy guy, there, I said it! I would go so far to suggest that we are all needy. After all, what is Facebook really about? Connecting socially to feel the Love and Share the Love, we’re only human. We long for the desire to […]
One of my favorite things in life is getting to know people…to sit down over coffee and really get to understand their issues of what may be holding them back from the success they truly desire so I can help them overcome and empower them to be the best ‘them’ possible.

I had lunch with a dear friend I don’t see often enough. A bright, intelligent, beautiful woman, slightly north of 50 years old and aging gracefully! As we were catching up on our lives, filling each other in on the exploits, trials and tribulations of our children, the conversation turned to romance. Not our romance, but respective forays […]

My friend and strategic marketing genius Luke Harlan has just created a masterpiece of a new website for me to showcase my passion for what has become my life’s work! I always encourage everyone I meet to play to their strengths and delegate their weaknesses. Or, let’s use the sports metaphor and tell everyone we meet to “play […]
In the interest of full disclosure, many of you who know me remember that I sell insurance, mostly life, disability and long term care insurance. In the 22 years I’ve been selling insurance, I, of course, have had a number of claims for death and disability. You might have thought these claims were only for “old people” who […]
In these last few years, I, or those close to me have lost loved ones at an early age. For me personally, the effects have been rather life altering. Each day is a gift from God, to be treasured, appreciated and put to good use! If you knew with certainty that, let’s say yesterday, to avoid superstition, […]
In the world in which we live, full of uncertainty, despair and hopelessness, it’s not hard to find simple things you can do to put a smile on someone’s face or brighten the world of another! As Gandhi said, “be the change you want to see in the world,” and start with one step at a time. […]
