When you look at those numbers above, you see that in the middle of them is a dash. What might look like a simple dash in that series of numbers is in reality one of the most important parts of our life. The first set of numbers represents the year that we were born and the latter is of course the year of our passing. It is all those years that are in between that make that little dash so powerful. We are all born with the ability to achieve greatness. Some… Read More

You will often hear me say that there are people that are brought into your life, not by chance, but because they were supposed to be there..and just at the time it was meant to be. Today, I want to tell you about my friend Linda. You have heard her name before many times because she is the person that has been with me since the beginning of the Bring Smiles to Seniors program. When I asked her to go on this journey with me, she responded with a resounding yes and… Read More

Many of you are aware that I am passionate about the game of Mah Jongg. Not the Chinese version, but the American version that is played mostly by women all over the country. It is a game that is becoming more mainstream with the likes of Sarah Jessica Parker and Julia Roberts playing it. However, many people aren’t aware that it is a game that is often handed down from generation to generation as grandmothers teach mothers and mothers teach daughters. Those of us who are lucky enough enough to find ourselves… Read More

One of the great goals in life is to find our purpose. To discover that reason that we were put on the planet and our reason for being. Some people find it early on and some find it later in life. Unfortunately, there those that go through life and may never discover it at all because they failed to look. However, the most important thing is that you never believe that it is too late to discover what you might have been. Not as long as we still have that breath to… Read More

Throughout our lives we have the opportunity to encounter the most amazing people. Some stick along the way. Some remain in our periphery but are never forgotten. Some are there for only a fleeting moment and leave their mark and move one. If we are truly lucky, we have a few that are almost one with our soul, to the point that you can finish each other’s sentences and think each other’s thoughts. They have this innate ability to call or text just at the right time when you need them most…. Read More

This morning I was thinking about how we go about our day and encounter all kinds of people in many different scenarios and situations. Most people we run into are friendly and kind, yet there times we encounter those that don’t create the most pleasant of experiences. This happens a lot in service industries, on customer service calls and as we are dealing with people in the public. While there is no excuse for being down right rude, when these situations do occur. I try to stop and consider that the person… Read More
