The goal of my blog is to provide support,guidance,words of wisdom or inspiration to you as you travel along your life's path. I,like so many of you,am well aware of the challenges,the ups and downs,and a sense of overwhelm,one may experience during his or her journey. I have often thought to myself,"wouldn't it be nice if I had someone....... a mentor,some wise person,an angel,anyone,who would help me as I navigate the often tumultuous waters of my life." Then,perhaps,the ride wouldn't feel so uncertain,scary or rocky.

During my own journey,I actively have sought direction through formal education and training,various workshops,reading,and occasional mentorship from those I consider to be "wiser" than I. Along the way,I have adopted principles,strategies,perspectives,and attitudes that have made a profound difference as I navigated the sometimes rough and rather complex terrain of my life. Much of what I have learned has come from personal explorations that have included:(1) reading many books authored by well-known,well-respected leaders in the self-improvement/growth and spirituality world,(2) attending workshops focused on self-growth and evolution,(3) participating in my own personal therapy and life coaching experiences,and lastly,(4) training as a clinical psychologist. Many of the books that have had the most impact on me are listed in the Inspiration/Words of Wisdom section of this website.

While I hope that the "words of wisdom" and inspiration that I provide in this blog may serve as a welcomed helping hand,they are not intended to serve or replace your own personal therapy or life coaching experiences. Should you find yourself struggling with personal issues,I encourage you to seek assistance or support through a licensed psychotherapist,life coach,or a trusted leader of your church.

I intend to provide inspirational pieces on a quarterly basis. Likewise,while it is my intention to provide words of wisdom or support to you,it is also possible that you will find them to be unhelpful. Should this be the case,I request that you refrain from negative criticism. I welcome differing perspectives and feedback that preserve the positive,life-affirming intentions of this blog.
