"What will I do today to make the world a better place? It is amazing how just thinking of those words each day can make a huge difference in one's life.
All of a sudden, I'm warmly greeting more people than I ever have before, many of whom I've never met. My charitable donations are growing, and Anne and I have already been anonymously generous with charities and despite how busy my schedule is, I'm taking to lunch tomorrow, two lovely ladies who are very senior citizens. It will be my pleasure.
How this will impact the writings on my website and blogs awaits to be seen but I suspect most of those writings, while still being candid, are going to be kinder, gentler and more helpful.
Suddenly I'm thinking more as a spiritual being, on a higher plain than before, rather than focusing on what is in it for me. Doing the right thing is its own reward. And it is such a joy to reach out to others to listen to them, care for them and help them. With love, compassion, integrity and forgiveness, this is the core of one's being.

In this Journal, I will attempt to strip away my protective veneer to view and communicate honestly what the truth is as I perceive it. My intent is to grow, for without an honest evaluation of the truth, how else can one fully absorb life's more difficult lessons and benefit by them. If I do this in secret, then I am still hiding behind a protective veneer, so it is being published online. If you find this Journal, you are welcome to read it and hopefully grow from it as well.
