More About Me

I'm passionate about

Spirituality and the power of love and forgiveness.

An idea worth spreading

Give away as much of your God given talents and resources to as many people as possible. If you are a wonderful cook, you don't have to open a restaurant just cook as often as it makes you happy for as many people as you can make happy. This is the art of loving people, making ourselves , our talents, and our resources available to help others in need in what ever way we can to improve the quality of their lives without worrying about ourselves and what we might gain or lose!

Talk to me about

The Love Factor. A seminar I have developed about the profound affect that love, compassion and giving can have on a persons health, wellbeing, and business life as well as improving the world.

• A comment on Conversation: Using a portion of advertisement budgets to feed hungry children.

  Apr 1 2011: I completely understand what you are saying however, let me throw this out. Let me use Coke as an example. I have no idea what their monthly advertisement budget is but I will assume it is at least one million dollars. If coke took one month and did absolutely no advertising, I cannot imagine that their product sales would show a decline to any degree. These well established companies could probably not advertise for 6 months and still see no decline in sales especially if they advertised the fact that they were going to be donating all of their advertising budget to feeding the children for the next 30-60-120-days. They could literally get their customers behind their effort by promoting their future non-promotion.

  A comment on Conversation: Can Love Change the World? ♥

  Mar 31 2011: Love can change the world of the one giving love. The world may or may not respond back to the giver in a loving way. So part of your premise I agree with. I will choose to love and expect nothing in return. Sometimes my world will reflect a better place, sometimes it will not. I have been conducting the experiment that you suggest for over 20 years now. My world is indeed a better place. Not a perfect place but a better place.
