This Blog is For You!!



Being laid-off yesterday from my previous employer for nearly 32 years provided a manic day of highs and lows for me. I stayed –up until sunrise writing and thinking. Lots of questions kept shooting through my mind. I sent emails, made phone calls and searched Google for questions, seeking clarity, comfort or solutions.  

Then, I realized everything doesn’t have to be known all at once.
My obsessive compulsive mind was racing due to the fear of the unknown. The long term is something none of us can control. Only God knows the outcome. He is the only one I can put my trust in to lead me to where He wants me. Today is all we have to make a difference.
After I finally slept this morning, it was time to take care of some more business. I have the evening to write, connect and hopefully be creative with some new ideas. I am hoping this time allows my creative juices to inspire you and present a few new ideas. In my case, I need to make some decisions, move forward with purpose, strength and experience.
I am excited to finally have the opportunity to speak my mind. Those of you who know me realize; I have no problem dissecting situations. I’ve often found myself in situations where I had to censor stories to the extent that part of the story wasn’t printed. I went through that situation when I wrote my first book and most of my previous blogs. Now I am thrilled to be able to express my beliefs, experiences and thoughts.

My First Guest Blog Post

My friend Mary, asked me to provide a guest post for her wonderful blog back in December. I initially hesitated because I had never provided a guest blog before in my life and my fear was it wouldn’t do her audience justice. The other day I wrote a blog that was somewhat different than my normal rants and I thought it was time to take a chance. Your kind words and thoughts have been uplifting and timing impeccable.
Thank you, Mary!
You may find Mary’s Blog here, so visit her site often as she is a great storyteller, devout Christian and takes a heroic stand for political justice.

You've Touched My Heart

I must thank my wife, Jane Carver, for her love and support (I’ve nicknamed her “The Hospital Slayer” for having the courage to stand-up for her rights and dignity). God blessed me with Jane as a wife, companion and best friend! She is a pillar of strength.
My Mother, who is always there to listen, sympathizes and offer encouragement. I couldn’t ask for a better Mom!
Ann Musico- you are such a blessing to have met online and your continued support inspires me.
Michael Gough- Your humbling message has inspired me as you always do!
Cheryl Wynn- for your conviction and telling me to keep my chin-up!
The comments and support from my co-workers and friends have helped to take the sting out of the latest adventure. Some of the folks online I’ve never met and people I haven’t seen since 1975 really made my day with your comments and opinions. Jane and I truly are blessed to have you in our circle of friendship. We thank you all from our heart!
Last but not least- those who were afraid to post, connect or express themselves, in which case- This Blog is for you!
Until We Meet Again,
