Back to a purpose in life

Tuesday, August 5th, 2008

About seven months ago, I thought that I’d sit down for a quiet 60 minutes and try the Steve Pavlina method of determining my life’s purpose.  The before I could get up the gumption to give it a go, life kinda got in the way and completely derailed my plans.
So now that things seem to be [...]

A long time coming…

Friday, July 4th, 2008

When you take your own advice, strange things can happen.  Early this year I started the mammoth task of changing my life.  I had identified the need and what I was lacking and was poised to find out my true purpose when something truly monumental happened.

Friday, January 4th, 2008

The dawn of a new year always seems to be an ideal time for reflection and change.  New year’s resolutions abound and so many people are making promises to themselves, most of which they will never keep.
