In the end, not that there really is an end, it's all going to be about how much you loved. And remember - your love comes back to you many -fold.
Today counts. Love unceasingly.
Love,
Today counts. Love unceasingly.

No matter what you do, you cannot be who you were a year ago.
And that reminds us to keep moving in constant and never-ending improvement.
Because we want to be the best different self than we are now.
Tomorrow.
Next month.
Next year.

Some years ago, Jeff Olson published a book called, “The Slight Edge”.
This book had a huge impact on us, as we followed his point that we are always...
...ALWAYS moving along a trajectory, either in a positive, or in a negative direction.
There is no standing still.
The Slight Edge for Dan Jansen in the’94 Olympics speed skating was a win by 29 one hundredths of a SECOND. That is 0.29 second. Less than a third of a SECOND!
As Jeff Olson said, that’s a very Slight Edge!
Whether you are talking in your life, in your work, or play,
the difference in accomplishing,
the difference in winning and losing,
the difference in positive or negative trajectory...
...is a very SLIGHT EDGE.
Would you like $1 million dollars right now, or a penny a day, doubled each day for one month?
One penny, doubled every day for a month adds up to $10,737,418… and 24 cents.
Increase your efforts each day - in your family and friend relationships, in work, in play, by just three-tenths of 1%, adding three-tenths of 1% each day, and by the end of five years, you will have moved along your Slight Edge 1600%!
Just in a year you’d have improved 100%!
Your nutrition?
Your weight?
Your health?
Your family?
Loving others?
Imagine - after 1 week…1 month…1 year later…
You’ll be living a different life.
Get on and stay on the Slight Edge.
Happy 2025!

As the New Year kicks off,
we will all begin another chapter in the experiences we have.
The way we live...
...and the energies we put into the world.
It has been taking courage.
And it will continue to take courage.
And there can be no courage if you are not afraid.
Courage comes when you breathe deeply...
...and keep going.
Through the fear.
This year has been full of bumps and bruises
Yet takes us to a life we’ve never imagined.
“Soon, when all is well,
you’re going to look back on this period of your life
and be so glad that you never gave up.” - Brittany Burgunder
And next New Year’s Day will be...
VERY different.
Glorious, I imagine!
Breathe deeply.
Keep going.
Enjoy the year.

My idea of Christmas,
whether old-fashioned or modern, is very simple:
loving others.
"Come to think of it, why do we have to wait for Christmas to do that?"
- Bob Hope
Merry Christmas season and love!

Many things happen to you that you cannot control.
Yet, you can control your reaction, your perspective on what happens.
You can control how you let it affect your mood, your thoughts.
In the hardest moments, be confident in letting go and letting God
appear as the abundant all-sufficiency in your life and affairs.
You win the moment when you trust and reframe your thoughts to trust
- even in the midst of the storm.

Funny how we forget how much we wanted something
...that we got long ago.
A diploma.
A romance.
A career.
Even a specific pair of boots.
We’ve forgotten there was a time we didn’t have it.
How we might feel if we lost everything we now have...
And then got it all back.
Life’s preciousness can be forgotten...
...if we aren’t careful!

Did you ever wonder why and how we begin to take things for granted?
In our humanness, we stop being amazed at the goodness, the joy, the miracles...
That we forget to feel that rush of gratitude.
Look for it.
Notice the simplest things that are good today.
Enjoy your Thanks-giving...
