The United States spends billions of dollars annually on mental health services. How much of that spend would be unnecessary if we were all just a little kinder to each other? #morningswithron

Good morning. It is often hard to be unselfish with our time. Yet, taking a few minutes to responsibly social distance with a family member or friend, Zoom, FaceTime or even simply pick up the phone is necessary. It is not only good for our heart and soul it is good for those on the receiving end as well. In a world where there are thousands with loved ones in seniors communities that don’t have the luxury of holding a hand or feeling a hug, it is now even more important than… Read More

Good Morning In my Calm meditation this morning on comparing ourselves to others, I heard “the behavior of others should not be the yardstick by which we measure ourselves”. So many times we judge ourselves by what other people have and it’s so unnecessary. Discovering our own value and what we bring the world is really all that matters. Have a great day. 🤗😁 Ron #morningswithron Ron

We all find ourselves in a very different world. One that is unfamiliar, often scary and one that we could have never imagined. Suddenly, we are confined to our four walls and more opportunities for stress present themselves constantly. If we are alone, we are more alone than ever. Being forced to work at home together, we are interacting with each other in 24 hour cycles. We are drawn to social media to fulfill our need for human interaction and unfortunately sometimes for an outlet for our pent up frustrations. One would… Read More

There are times that our lives feel like one giant adventure. Unexpected things arise that excite us, while at the same time causing levels of self-reflection that can often be unnerving. They require us to take a deep look inward to remind ourselves who we are, what we are capable of and why we do what we do. The release of my new book has been exhilarating. Seeing my friends, families and those that I don’t even know share in the excitement of its release, helped provide validation that all the work… Read More

Many times in the past I have written about the importance of taking care of ourselves. Ensuring the well being of our mind, body and soul, is often the key to the power that we need to also take care of those that are around us. How we think, act and conduct that process of taking care of ourselves, has never had a more profound impact on our outside world than it does today. The steps that we take to deal with this evolving situation will ultimately determine not only our own… Read More

Having a lot of time at home during this pandemic certainly gives us a lot of time to reflect on our life. For some it is a chance to focus on where our life path has taken us and where we have yet to go. For others, it might be a little too much time to reflect on the things that could have been or the areas where we feel we have not been as successful in what we have tried to accomplish. It is at those times that it is easy… Read More

After my morning meditation, I am reminded to enjoy the beautiful things around me. Remember to take that little escape from all that is going on around us and find that few minutes of “me time” and discover the beauty that is around you. Ron #morningswithron

One does not simply just sit down and write a book. Well, maybe if your Stephen King or Dan Brown you might. If you are the average joe off the street, that just had a little dream since you were a kid, it can take years to see that desire come to reality. For me, it took 42. When I was 15 years old, I was required to put a rough outline of a book together for a project in my sophomore year of high school. I started by taking old magazines… Read More
