My Surrender Experiment

Do you ever wonder how certain things happen in your life at just the right time?  I'm still trying to figure out how I got my hands on the book I'm reading, "The Surrender Experiment."  All I can say is I'm feeling a very strong connection to the author.  Over and over, he talks about how letting go allowed him witness amazing events in his life.  I agree.  Holding on stifles blessings that come only when you get out of the way of your own ego.


Imagine what can happen with your life should you choose to let go of all the things holding you back, like fear.  I believe with all my heart there is a Divine Creator who has this awesome master plan for all of us.  All we need to do is surrender.  Surrender is not quiting.  Surrender is trusting.  Give it a try.  Have a great day.

A Fun Day at My Day Job

The storm clouds on the horizon signaled it was going to be an interesting day when I started my shift at 7:30 AM yesterday.  We headed to a television station in Kentucky and met the VP & General Manager for a brief tour before meeting his staff and sharing about our new location opening soon.  It was an incredible day and we were well received.  By the time we were finished, the storm passed and the sun was out for our drive back to our temporary office.


I would like to wish my wife a very special happy birthday today.  We may be in different states at the moment but she is in my heart.  We were able to celebrate her birthday early before I left for my next adventure.  Have a great day.

A Busy Day Ahead

The sun was shining when the plane landed in Evansville, Indiana yesterday.  It was just in time to get another booster shot of Vitamin D since we've had almost nothing but rain in my hometown.  I'm on the early shift today with my new friends at our temporary facility.  I hate to write and run but that's how it's going to be for the next 30 days.  Please keep me in your prayers for a successful outcome.  I know I'm supposed to be here.  All the signs show me I'm on the right path, like the sunshine on my first day back to Indiana yesterday.  Have a great day. 

31 Days to Go

Things are moving fast at my day job.  I'm flying back to Evansville, Indiana today for the final preparations to open our new store on June 28.  I'm bringing my laptop to get some quality writing time in when I'm off the clock.

Thank you for keeping me in your prayers.  This is an adventure I will never forget.  Have a great day.

Happy Memorial Day

The greatest among us are those willing to make the ultimate sacrifice and lay down their lives for our sake.  It's not only those who gave up their lives but the families who lost a dad, son or brother.  This is the day we remember those sacrifices.  This is the day we remember the fallen.  God bless those we lost and their families.  Happy Memorial Day.

Beam me up, Scotty

I have some happy places booked on my calendar for my wife and me.  When I'm not at places like what's shown above, I go there in my mind.  It doesn't take much to get there.  I close my eyes and let my senses take over.  The more vivid the mental picture, the more real the experience becomes.

Don't allow the stress of everyday life to get in your way of meditation.  It's good for the soul.  Ten minutes of quiet time can change everything.  Have a great day.

Think Dirty the Next Time You Shop

Today's post may be a bit scary.  One of my teammates at my day job suggested I give the Think Dirty app a try to learn more about the products we use in our household.  Think Dirty allows you to find out everything you need to know about toxins that may be in the ingredients.  Specifically, the app lists documented evidence of carcinogenicity, developmental and reproductive toxicity and/or allergenicity and immunotoxicity.  I challenge you to download the app on your phone and check out how your products rate.

There are people who ignore what I'm writing about today because they argue the toxins are in such small amounts that they don't pose a danger.  The problem with this thinking is the lack of understanding about what happens when the exposure to these ingredients is on a daily basis or exposure increases with the use of multiple products containing the same toxic ingredients.  It's the frequency that magnifies the danger.

We are committed in our household to minimizing our risk by changing to products using natural ingredients.  Some say this option is expensive.  I believe cancer treatments are more costly and I would rather prevent the problem before it happens.  What are your thoughts?  Have a great day.
