Do what you fear and the death of that fear is certain. A step back in time to a year ago while in Finland for the 2009 WMA Masters Track & Field World Championships. Many talk about what we should do, while some just go out and live it.

Is Your Vision Compelling?
Clutter. It’s everywhere and impacts everyone. I was addressing some of my own last week.
And here is a voice memo I listened to as I was cleaning out files. Have also copied the December 19, 2009 post for another angle.
President Obama & Sobriety 12.19.09
Rarely watching TV, I was captivated the other night when Charlie Gibson was interviewing United States President, Barack Obama, on the ABC Evening News.
The one word that really made me put things into perspective, was a word the President Obama used to describe how the decision to send US troops to Afghanistan was different from other critical US policy decisions.

Hello Love
Miracles Do Happen
Ever decide to do something at the last minute, like an unplanned errand or something simple like that, and find yourself in a set of circumstances that just feels like God had planned it all along?
Last Friday was like that. Went to my Church to reserve a booth for the September Women’s Expo, and ran into Kim, the wife of Ralph, who selflessly lead our Men’s & Women’s Emmaus groups.
Kim and Ralph have a niece in Miami. And Bella is a miracle. The only person ever, in the history of the world to survive a very rare form of cancer.
Kim had in her hand one of only three copies of Bella’s book, “Why (Not) Me?”
With 180,000 books written each year and 80-million blogs and growing, not to mention Facebook, texting, email, jobs, news channels, You Tube……
Selling a book is next to impossible. All proceeds from this go to cancer research, so selling lots is important. Not to mention the hope and support this offers to others facing their cancer battles.
Bella’s video made me cry.
