About Me

You can be anything or anybody you want to be on a computer. But I'm for real, not trying to be someone I'm not. I am 46 years old, now retired per say. Sometimes I think I'm busier now than when I was working. I'm very compassionate, caring and a true giver not a taker. I love putting a smile on someones face. Leave a lasting impression on someone I've never met before. I live on the Beach and love it. Surfing, bike riding, going to the gym or just people watching. It's all good and entertaining.I love to write and have for many years. Maybe 30 or so years now. I write inspirational blogs here on "my space" and send out bulletins as well. All about what I call "Life lessons learned." I have recently signed a book deal and well be releasing my first book in March through Columbia House. I have contracted for a total of three books. I will be doing a three month book signing tour after the release with Borders Book Stores. Though it's not me to be in the spotlight I know this will help many feel better about lives. My "Life lesson's learned" seem to help many who read them. People who ask me why I am on my space. This is why. If you take the time to read a few of my blogs you will see why. I dislike and hate to hear stories of abuse whether that be physical or mental. It truly saddens me to no end. These experiences impact peoples lives tremendously and sometimes last a lifetime and sometimes never go away. I wish I could wave my magic wand and make their pain and horrible memories just go away. But I can't. I can only lead people in the right direction and help them start the healing process. Where they can start fresh again. Learn to trust and learn to Love and learn to live again! I retired from the medical field, now I work in the Sports and Music Industry with many charity organizations as well as many Athletes, Professional teams and Musicians helping raise money for many charities. I've worked directly with the Ted Williams Group as a consultant as well as the Boston Red Sox, Lance Armstrong (livestrong) charities, The Walter Payton Foundation, The foundation for Breast Cancer as well as many others. I grew up on the Beaches of Southern California in particular Newport and Huntington Beach. Surfing and modeling was my life for many of those years which I will never forget. After finishing school I worked in the Medical field eventionally opening and than owning many medical clinics throughout Southern California. For 21 years I lived this life until I took up my hobby sports and music and decided to make this my retiring career. This isn't about money for me it's about peace of mind and feeling good at the end of the day. To get to do what you love and feel good about it with very little stress is what life is all about. Don't keep reliving the mistakes you've made in the past. You can forgive but never forget. Learn from the mistakes we all have made and grow from them into becoming a better person. When you look into a mirror, you need to like what you see. If your not able to like yourself; don't think you can love your partner, or even begin a relationship. Do what makes you happy!!!! Treat others as you would like to be treated. Learn to Love, and you can be Loved!I love my life and where I'm at. But what are we all truly after in our lives. We all want the same thing in reality. A soulmate! Someone who is compassionate, loving, caring and has a beautiful heart. Someone who you can look into their eyes everyday, morning and night and without saying a word just feel those butterflies. And just know there is nothing in this world that could ever pull the two of you apart. To want to hold your partners hand everynight for the rest of your life as you fall asleep; looking into their eyes and letting them know how much you love and appreciate them. True love is really out there and it will find you. Be patient! Don't ever quit being the person you truly are. Be yourself. It's much easier living, being the person you are than trying to live as someone you aren't. Don't ever let another put you down or try to control your life, by trying to hurt or ruin your self esteem. That is one of the only things we truly will ever own in our lives; our self esteem! Don't let anyone take that away from you. No one can take it wthout your consent!Learn from those mistakes you have made throughout your lifetime and grow from them into being a better person! Your pot of gold is waiting for you at the end of that rainbow but first you need to find the sunshine inside of you! On an ending note, Dreams can come true! Don't ever quit believing, nor give up that hope!Work like you don't need the money. Love like you've never been hurt. Sing as if no one can hear you. and dance like no one is watching!Another saying I love to share is:Happiness keeps You Sweet, Trials keep You Strong, Sorrows keep You Human, Failures keep You Humble, Success keeps You Glowing, But Only Love keeps You Going!
