Taking a Journey

I will be taking a few days off. My daughter is getting married and any 'in-between' time left, I'll try to write something. I'm excited, happy and hopeful for her life that lay ahead with her new husband.

It is the anticipation of change that sometimes prevents people from actually embarking out on a new course. It can be a daunting task but you will never experience the greatness of change without actually stepping out in change.

There will be up, downs and many sideways events in your journey. Just keep your eyes focused on the end. You can always correct your course along the way. Most of all, enjoy the journey.

See you in a few days!

Be A Person Of Action

"Man is born for action; he ought to do something. Work, at each step, awakens a sleeping force and roots out error. Who does nothing, knows nothing. Rise! to work! If thy knowledge is real, employ it; wrestle with nature; test the strength of thy theories; see if they will support the trial; act!" Saint Aloysius Gonzaga, patron saint of youth is quoted as having said this back in the late 1500s.

It is very appropriate even today as we each struggle to achieve a great life. It is action that is required on your part. You must choose a door, step through it and into a new way of doing things. For very few people is this an easy task to accomplish. Many of us simply have a hard time making a choice, let alone acting upon that choice.

Go ahead, make the choice and step through to a greater life. Let the person inside of you to take hold, try something different and see your life change. Be a person of action.

Ursula Garnitz

Ursula Garnitz
May 3, 1933 - January 30, 2009

There are people in your world that simply make you smile when they enter the room. One of those people is Ursula Garnitz, someone that made me feel great and lifted my spirits whenever I was around her.

Today, she passed away with her loving daughter, son-in-law and grand-daughter by her side. She peacefully entered God's loving arms and heaven above is stronger for her presence. The flowers she will being tending to will brighten heaven with her touch.

While the natural world we live in will miss her dearly, we know that her love still peacefully lives within each of us. Thank you for being a person that always lifted others; thank you for being a caring person to others; thank you for being Ursula.
