Did you ever look back and wonder about all the important guidelines you followed as if your life depended on them, thinking they would keep you on that straight and narrow path to achievements, success, and peace, only to find out they don't always take you to what matters in life? I certainly did. I don't want you to think I am writing my feelings because I am disappointed in myself or my accomplishments. Far from it. I had a good life. I overcame many obstacles; some that I brought on myself and others that were beyond my control. And I even learned to laugh at myself, using many of those unfortunate circumstances to improve my stride and gait on my way to a more fruitful future.

I am simply trying to state that the most valuable things in life, such as self-approval, self-love, and self-compassion, can't come from others. They never will. And without those inner treasures, what others do or say makes very little difference, if any. I only wish someone cared enough or had the wisdom to tell me about those tiny details involving the world within while I was still young and impressionable. But better late than never. So without further ado, I'd like to tell you why I created these pages. My goal is to touch as many hearts as I can, hoping to spread some valuable knowledge that might help ease the journey ahead.
