The Author

Traditionally this section of most websites or blogs are used to talk about me, the Author, about my accomplishments, achievements, and milestones. Well, briefly I am a full-time marketing professional, two-time cancer survivor and author of the award-winning book: Manual For Living: Reality, A User’s Guide to the Meaning of Life. However, instead of using this section of the book to share my history, to showcase areas where I might proclaim my separateness or perceived authority or pre-eminence, I have chosen to use this section to share not how we are dissimilar but how we are alike, for I am like you in more ways than you can imagine.

I am everybody, and I am nobody. I struggle like you, constantly searching for the right path and for the strength to overcome the moments of challenge and the ongoing opportunities for growth. In my own way, I suffer from the same pains, hopes, dreams, and fears that you do. Of my own manner, I follow the same path of truth; the search for purpose, meaning, and evolution. I take care of myself, and as part of my path I am of service to my family, my community, and our world at large. I seek connection in life, in addition to balance and flow just as you do. I pray for a world free of the ills that plague us just as you do. I seek a world of peace, kindness, and happiness. I love just as you do, yet I struggle with the painful reality of our world often to make choices in seclusion or separate from spirit or G-d, such that we have a tendency to manifest the opposite of what we desire for ourselves.

There is nothing in my book that you haven’t heard or don’t inherently know. The right path is only for our own choosing; it can only be determined by us, not for us.

We have a long way to go, individually and collectively, to achieve that which we believe is our destiny, to create a world that is better for our families, our children, and society itself. We are far from creating an appropriate level of communication, of interconnectedness, and building a community that fosters love, caring, and support. The possibilities and opportunities are endless, and as we consciously create realities in support of our beliefs, we will find that which we seek and that which we desire. We will find a world where our community is the sacred whole, where we give merely for the happiness and fulfillment we receive, where we live to make the world a better place, and where in every moment and in every connection we make a positive contribution to our greater world.

We will find our home wherever we are, but only when we accept the fullness and greatness within ourselves and within each other.
