The Gift of Life’s Experiences: You Were Made for This
Life is not easy. The late W. Scott Peck started his famous book, The Road Less Travelled, with “Life is difficult. This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths. It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth, we transcend it. Once we truly know that life is difficult-once we truly understand and accept it-then life is no longer difficult. Because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters.” The Bible reminds us on almost every page that life is not easy. So, what do we do with that reality?
SEE differently to CHANGE perspectives in order that we GROW authentically.
“The Gift of Life’s Experiences: You Were Made for This,” Learn how your life’s experiences are blessings and gifts that can transform your life in incredible ways. See anew, be inspired and motivated, and claim the blessings of what life’s experiences have brought you.
Life is a gift and living is our teacher. God deemed it thusly. Everything we need to know about everything we need to know about is available to us if we listen along the way. To help you do just that, I created a variety of products and services, beginning with my first book, Listen to Life: Wisdom in Life’s Stories. As a writer, photographer, speaker, father, friend and husband, I try to celebrate the teaching that occurs in all moments.
Additional topics that help you see your life as the resource that it is:
Discover and Polish the Pearls Within: Pearls are made through natural processes that begin when an oyster has an irritant — a grain of sand — lodged in it. From this irritation and response comes a treasure. You are full of treasures because of life experiences and what you are going through now is making more of them. Find out how to discover the pearls and polish them by living.

Memories to Memoirs Using the LIFElines tools, this process is directed to writers of all ages; it was originally developed for seniors to retrieve memories in order to record memoirs. In this interview, I share the concepts; they apply to writers of all genres. I love writing and want you to love it, too. All that you write begins from you. My online video workshop is modestly priced so you can improve the depth, satisfaction and inspiration of all your writing. You will be able to access the videos for a year to go back to time and time again.
Daddin’: The Verb of Being a Dad I was a son to a father and now father to three sons (and six grandchildren). From these experiences come the book and workshop that remind fathers and father figures (which includes all men) that being a dad is a verb, not a title. Broken down to several chapters titled by verbs — e.g., havin’, lovin’, learnin’, growin’, leavin’, fishin’…and more — the book contains stories, poetry, essays and ramblings to share insights into the beautiful world of moments that is daddin‘. Faith-based workshops and programs available.
