It is often said that we teach best what we need to learn. That is, in part, why I am here. I need reminders every day — reminders of all the good things I’ve learned through the years that make my life better.It is not enough to know; we must also stay conscious of what we know if we are to get the most out of life. Sharing these ideas is what keeps me remembering them.
I am not a professional counselor — just a friend who has experienced many obstacles and difficulties and somehow managed to find a way over, under, around, or through most of them.
At times, I’ve felt like I was on my own. But more often, I’ve been keenly aware of the many ways other people have helped me tremendously, whether they knew it or not. Now my wish is to “pay it forward” by sharing what I have learned.
May you find hope, encouragement, and a backpack full of practical ideas in these pages.
