One of the ways we show how badly we want a thing is by speaking out wherever we know we will get support and encouragement. This blog is an opportunity for all of us to build the strength of our voice in a place that was created to help us fulfill our dreams.
If you will not speak out within the safety of a group such as this, when will you?
Here is why I cannot remain silent: I want to improve the world by helping others to overcome their silence and fears so that they can pursue the life of their dreams. We were not given the gift of life to survive; we were created to thrive.
Fear silenced my spirit for most of life, but the time for silence has past. I am now claiming my birthright of being an outspoken, unstoppable champion of my dream. How can I do any less, when so much has been given to me? When you raise the level and quality of your life, you encourage others to do the same. We must become the leaders of a better way of living, by becoming that which we wish to see within the world. We have got to be fearless, outspoken, kind, compassionate, enthusiastic, and persistent in the fulfillment of our dreams.
I hope that some of you will join me in speaking out with expectation.
This blog has been silent for too long.
I deserve to hear your voice as much as you deserve to hear mine.
What do you want?

Christmas is…
Part of the magic of the season,
Reveals life’s joyous revelry,
Because the most precious gift is life,
And we are branches on that tree,
Reaching out we serve each other,
A mighty, surging cavalry,
Wielding weapons forged in faith,
Until the day all hearts beat free,
Part of the magic of the season,
Is to honor sacrifice,
Because the trunk of our life’s tree,
Was built upon the life of Christ,
For me he was messiah,
He lived and died for his beliefs,
He died for our salvation,
He lived and died that we might be,
But even if he’s not your heart’s messiah,
He lived and he died upon the cross,
Treasure his loving message,
For which his breath of life was lost,
Live not in service to the life’s pleasures,
For once claimed, they quickly flee,
But embrace the life of the spirit,
Where I am you and you are me,
We all are branches born of spirit,
So what you give, you shall receive,
And Love’s the greatest gift of all,
The nectar that feeds life’s mighty tree,
Christmas is a time of truth and faith,
Of miracles created and revealed,
A time where faith shines out,
Awakening dreams too long concealed,
The legacy of this day’s remembrance,
Is that the time for fear has past,
So embrace works of the spirit,
For only spirit grows and lasts.
Christmas is more than just a day,
It is the love that grows in you,
Not for the moment or the day,
But for each day life’s gift renews.
