IDEAS TO PONDER
Freedom is not an excuse to lack self-discipline.
The first step is to admit responsibility for poor outcomes as a result of our actions. The second step is to take preventative and remedial action quickly.
Being free, does not mean you can do anything.
You have to do the right thing, to really be free.
The future is the land of hope, but the present is the land of action,
where you work to create the future you hope for.
An Awesome Man is fully engaged with life because he
is relentlessly focused on making the next right decision.
He understands that in life, every choice is important
and has an impact—big or small—on his happiness
and on the happiness of those around him.
He spends his time wisely, and he uses
all the natural gifts and talents he has
to make his own life better and the world a better place for others.

A Recommendation for Couples.
As many of you know, I am very interested in human behavior and relationships that we all encounter in our lives. Once in a while I read something that I believe is both outstanding and very useful and Heather Browne’s latest work ‘Speaking With the Heart’ is one of those books.
We have all heard that communication is the key to successful relationships, and we all try to speak and hear our partners, yet many relationships are not always all they can be.
Heather shares with her readers, that love is the key. If everything you say to your partner, is said with love, and everything you hear from your partner, is heard with love, communication will blossom and your relationship will bloom.
Heather is not naive, she knows through her own personal experiences and years as a therapist, that it is extremely hard to communicate with love, when you have been hurt, ignored, dismissed and wounded in many other ways that partners injure each other. Yet Heather knows as the Saints say 'Love never Fails'.
This is what Heather says herself………Speaking With the Heart is the book of our generation that will redefine how couples connect, communicate, and build their lives together. As the first book of its kind that addresses all the facets of communication with a highly unique methodology makes it a go-to resource for couples – at all stages – to move beyond confusion, chaos, and conflict. I walk the reader through expert teaching and exercises so they can take action and resolve core issues at the root’
