Happy Ramadan: A Reflection on Faith, Family, and Respect for One Another

During this period of Ramadan I wanted to reflect on the importance of faith, family, and respect for one another. We are all, after all, brothers and sisters in this journey of life. Happy Ramadan! Sharing a quote we like and a family photo. Stay blessed and healthy.

“When the world pushes you to your knees, you’re in the perfect position to pray.” – Rumi

Reflecting on 2019 – Lots to be Grateful

Christmas and Hanukkah remind us to cherish life, family, and our faith. There is much to reflect on this December as we near the New Year. What are you most grateful for? For me it is my family, my health, my friends, and God. Material things are far from my list of wishes. I am blessed to have a roof over my head, clean water, food, and access to books and libraries. Most of all, I am incredibly fortunate to have the support of a loving family. I lack nothing. I pray for peace and tolerance. I am incredibly thankful to everyone who allowed me to share my story and realize a dream of mine – becoming a published author. Thank you for your support and readership.

I wish you and your loved ones the blessings of faith, family, and health and much joy knowing you are loved. From our family to yours, stay blessed!

People Need a Voice and a Choice Let Yours Be Heard!

“Sometimes the person who has not been able to speak or be heard has the most powerful message to deliver.” Quote by Ken Reiman

Thanks to everyone who purchased my book and allowed me to share my experience with others. I hope it will inspire others to share their hopes and dreams too!

What are you chasing after?

Chasing after power is like chasing after the wind. You’ll always end up empty handed. Chase after love. Love lasts beyond power, titles, fame, and fortune. So what do you love and who do you love? Chase after the relationships that matter. Ultimate success is luxury of time to do what you truly want to do and live with who you truly want to live.

Overcoming Fear

Fear is not always an indicator that something is wrong. It may be the strongest sign telling us what we have to do.

Run Your Own Race

It’s not your job to tell yourself no. It’s not your job to reject yourself or grade yourself or debate the value or worthiness of your ideas. Your job is to create. Your job is to share. Your job is to overcome fear and run the race. Yes, if you build something people might judge it or dislike it. But if you don’t create and share the things that you have inside of you, then you’ll commit the far worse crime of rejecting yourself. You can either be judged because you created something or ignored because you left your greatness inside of you.

Who is the Truly Rich Man?

I may not be famous, I may not be wealthy, and I may not be powerful. But family comes first and in their eyes I’m number 1. That’s all that matters.  Happy Monday from our family to yours! Keep accumulating real wealth – the relationships that matter to you most. You can never go wrong in investing more time with your kids and your spouse. Read that line again.
