Information & Inspiration
For all those who are striving for happiness and
success in their personal and professional lives.
After 21 years on my first domain, I launched this all-new, ad-free website so I could continue to encourage and help others through my writing and professional services for years to come. Reflected here are my professional and personal interests, philosophy, and Christian beliefs.
Timely Quotes
“Whether you are happy or not depends to some degree upon outward circumstances, but mostly it depends how you choose to look at things yourself, whether you measure what you have or what you have not. Before you pity yourself, take a great deal closer look at others and then decide with whom you would, or could, change places, and what sacrifice of your nature you would be prepared to make in order to do so.” – Anne Perry, The Face of a Stranger
“One thing life has taught me: if you are interested, you never have to look for new interests. They come to you. When you are genuinely interested in one thing, it will always lead to something else.” - Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
