When is the Right Time.

Is the right time only when it is self-fulfilling? NO! The right time has a special way of whispering to each of us. It could be the kind word said to a friend or family member who is experiencing a trying time in their life. It could be when someone has a sad look on their face and you lend them an ear. It could be a favorite dish cooked up for someone who needs to savor the smell of the past. It could be the gift that is placed in the hands of someone who needs to feel the embrace of an others kindness. Yes.....use the senses to guide you through the process of helping others and finding the Right Time. Thanks for listening.

A very special day.

Today was very special. After 30 months and an enormous amount of daily time and money..a dream happened today. People are starting to get our mission. The Arts are creating the change and Stella May Productions and Second Chance 4 Me are finally being heard. Thank you God! The path will still be challenging but the road is being paved by wonderful people who are also adding to our vision. Many important groups, agencies and individuals are coming together to accomplish life changing situations and events for people in need. The importance of collaborative efforts has never been as important as it is at this time. People need to listen better and understand that it is the joint effort and the positive outcome that matters most. Let's continue to be vibrant and helpful to those around us and make sure that we lend a helping hand when needed. Thanks for listening.

Action!

I find myself thinking and feeling about making things happen. The natural state of affairs that occur with people of Action is that they are ready and positioned to move forward without much prodding. Discussions have there place in time and space but it is Action that takes the lead and makes results more visible to the viewing public. We can make ready with plans, forums, groups and committees, yet the Action person takes that type of thinking to another level. Our souls and spirits stir with passion and conviction and yet the unleashing of movement is what gets things churning. Simply expressed: the lights don't turn on unless you flick the switch. I like to flick the switch and I see better in the light. Thanks for listening.

A Birthday Wish!

I am blessed to be a part of this journey called LIFE. My good fortune to have met many wonderful people on this journey has made it even more special and productive. Having my May in my life fills me beyond words. I have lost much on my journey, had my share of sadness and tragedy but there is no looking back. On the eve of my 64th birthday I have but one wish. A time before this I had wished for other things but that didn't happen but Second Chance 4 Me did happen. My wish is basic, free of any under lying wishes and yet bold in its nature. Come in a little closer....I wish for others to help me in my quest to help as many people as I can. That's it. Thanks for listening.

Enjoy the time together...

Taking a day to relax. Just one pitch.

Listening and Seeing.

While on the journey of life I have honed my spirit to listen and see the good in people. My GPS (good people skills) has enabled me to temper my soul, feed my spirit, guide my thoughts and direct my actions in a sensitive and passionate way. During my career as a special education teacher I was able to blend difficult situations with a calmness that promoted unity as opposed to alienating the group. In the next stages of my life as a business owner I have utilized the same approach. Over time I can see and feel the results of a strong spirit finally being viewed while possibly not understood but yet having to be dealt with. Thank God for purpose and humility because without them we indulge ourselves in false acts of self-importance. While we all are vital in the fabric of life, some need to realize that as we spread the fabric out we are all important in the design and not just one piece taking up the entire focus. Be willing to be a blend of the colors, texture and design and not worry about the singular essence of your importance. The listening and seeing has to be felt and captured to truly feel the kiss of life on our cheek. With a humble soul I wish you ALL warmth and kindness on your journey.

When IT happens.

I think IT is happening. The thing that we have been waiting to happen. The thing that you feel will happen, has to happen and if it doesn't you wonder why. The thing that people say will happen over time. The thing that some say takes more time than you have. You know the thing I am talking about...the thing you think about all the time. The thing that when you were a kid you expected to happen when you became an adult. That thing, the thing that drives us every single day. Well that thing does happen and when IT happens it is really cool. I hope your thing works out for you.
