I believe there is a Force—an energy that’s available to us that inspires us toward our dreams; supports us in our despair and heartache, and leads us to goodness and Love.

My best friend snapped this picture recently while leaving Philadelphia. I’m trusting that maybe the person in the Jeep read my book, Back From Heaven’s Front Porch, or better yet this is a principle they’ve practiced for a long time.

I’ve been pondering lately the mindset of kindness that many of us hold. And while on the surface it is a good thing, it may also not serve us well. It came to me that I should write about this as I stood at the teller window in the bank last week.

Recently, our son and I are were touring Chapman University in Orange County, CA and I noticed many busts of famous people along the campus walkways with wonderful quotations beneath them.

In my travels I get the chance to meet many people—some of whom I engage with in some deep conversations.  One such encounter back in July with a guy I met in Boston had turned into a few emails back and forth about life and such.
