Hi friends, I want to bring you up to speed on what's been going on in my life since I returned from my jam-packed trip to Sarasota and Naples, FL. While in Naples I gave a talk, and held a very successful book signing for the 40th anniversary edition of my first book, and lunched and dined with an amazing group of friends throughout the week I was there. And then while in Sarasota, I got to spend quality time with my older sister. What fun we had just relaxing, watching basketball and playing cards. I miss not seeing her more often and miss all[...]

I'm here in sunny Sarasota visiting my sister. It is super nice to be out of the MN cold weather for a couple weeks. While down here I will relax, see friends in Naples and take care of a lot of business matters in Naples too. (In case you weren't aware of it, we wintered in Naples for 32 years.) But I will also continue bringing to your attention the activities related to the 40th anniversary of Each Day a New Beginning, And a very big event is this coming Sunday evening , February 19th, at Banyen Book and Sound Store in Vancouver BC. It's a virtual event so h[...]

Hi Friends, Nearly another week has passed since I last checked in with you. Time seems to be moving faster than my abilities to stay caught up. These last few weeks have been so exciting and full of events where I was able to connect with folks who have been followers, some for many years and some brand new.

Most of us had no idea where we were headed when we opted to change our lives in some way. For me, it was making a cho[...]

Time to say Hello again Hi friends, Here it is, more than midway through 2022, and I am finally taking a few moments to connect with you here on my website. Hopefully, many of you have been following my posts over the last many months on Facebook. I haven't been silent. I guess age has played a part in my absence from this website. Frankly, and I apologize for this, I forget that I have more than one way to reach out to all of you. So here I am today, asking for your forgiveness. You have not been forgotten and I have spent this past week or so updating my w[...]

Hi friends, It's been far too long since I have written a post here. I do post on my Facebook page pretty regularly so I hadn't checked out the many responses here for some time. I am delighted so many of you have written. It has been quite a year we have all lived through. The quarantine and the murder of George Floyd impacted all of us I'm sure. I am still trying to find answers for why our country is so divided. I'm not sure we will ever close the divide that has developed between the "warring" sides but I am a believer in hope and prayer so I know my "work"[...]
