Standing Together

“Together we stand, together we fall, together we fight and fight for it all.”
- Unknown

There are times of exhilarating fun and enjoyment in life. Friends playing cards while talking of events past and future. The laughing and cajoling as each connects with the other in a community of togetherness.

It is in those moments, those connections we forge a bond that will bring us through the tough times and the really tough times. It gives us the strength to lean on each other, to cry, to worry but also to hope.

It would be great if we could walk the same path forever.

We walk for periods of time with each other, supporting, carrying, encouraging and simply being there on the journey. Time, circumstance and life itself changes our paths and we are unable to do anything to prevent it.

What we can do is make the most of our time together.

To make them great times.
To make it time well spent.
To have been there for each other.

I sense the path changing and it increases my anxiety over what lay ahead. I have my friends still on the path with me and I will enjoy every moment with them. They comfort me as I know I comfort them. We each dream for a lifetime to walk together until we can no longer walk. And we know that our walk together will have been forged in eternity.

When we stand together, we may fall together but we will pick ourselves up and fight, fight, fight for it all.

Stay inspired my friends.

Look Whats Out

“It is good to love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is well done.” ― Vincent van Gogh

Have you ever needed to hear just the right thing from a friend?

Or possibly read a story to push you through life?

Well the good news is that my sixth book is here and it is called We Love, We Laugh, We Eat Fruity Pebbles. The title is inspired by words from a conversation I had with a friend that simply stuck with me. It contains stories to inspire and motivate you through your tough times or help push you to excel in life.

The stories may even cause you to enjoy a bowl of Fruity Pebbles.

While it took longer than originally intended to publish, I do hope you enjoy it. And as Navin Johnson said, "Things are going to start happening for you now."

Capture the Moon

“Love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.” ― Khalil Gibran

If I could capture the moon for you, I would. But to hold the moon captive would keep me from experiencing a sunrise or sunset. These are the things we wish to hold closely but can not be held firm.

They must come and go.
They must be free to fly and roam.

When we experience a birth or a death, our deepest expressions of love are exposed.

There is ecstatic joy of a new baby entering this world. A grand and glorious sunrise that holds expectation of possibility.

There is heart breaking pain of someone passing into another realm which is the sunset on the here and now, only to be revealed as a beautiful full moon.

The stars, the moon, and the sun.
Our lives, our family and our friends.

Yes, if I could capture the moon for you I would. But I know you will always be there just as the moon. You will be in the sunrise, you will be in the sunset, you will be inside my heart.

Stay inspired my friends.

Vibrations of Life

"Every action of our lives touches on some chord that will vibrate in eternity." ~Edwin H. Chapin

All that you do during the day has a reverberating impact on people around you. Like a pebble dropped in the water, the ripples flow out in ever increasing circles.

Make those vibrations of life count for something. Make them be a positive force in the lives of others.
