What is it about a book that can change your way of thinking? Maybe even your way of life? Books have been around a long time.... even the most primitive writings are the earliest forms of communication we've seen.
Don't believe it? Look at the number 1 best selling book of all time: the Bible. This single book, no matter what version it sells...continues to blow away all the competition.
It's truly a book about changing lives. I've only written one book and am working on the second. It's a long arduous process yet rewarding at the same time. Not that I will ever compete with the Bible mind you!
Just like this blog....writing releases what's inside you and gets it "out". I encourage you to write. Even if no one sees it. It does you more good than you could ever know.

Drama Finds Me
The last few years for me have been one bizarre personal episode after another. After awhile I started thinking I was crazy but then...I realized three things:
1) Sometimes I did things that brought on issues and problems. In other words, I made mistakes. I hate to admit it...but it's true.
2) Sometimes other people make mistakes too. Unfortunately, those mistakes have fallout...and you have no control who is in the fallout zone. It stinks, but it's true.
3) When your destiny you decide to pursue there will be many people who are intimidated you are ready to step out in faith and do something you never did before. It reminds them of their own failures and their acceptance of mediocrity. Unfortunately these people are usually the closest ones to you.
I heard someone say a long time ago: "If you are going to stick your head above the crowd, expect a few tomatoes!" I never realized how true that is!
What's my point? Well let me sum it up with something I heard someone say a long time ago; "When you are in a barn and there is activity there, you're going to have to deal with the crap."
If nothing was happening there would be no need to muck the stalls. There would be no crap!
So here's to activity...and the part that comes with it. Why? Because something is happening! There is activity, there is progress!
Lighten up. We all deal with crap in life.
