GREETINGS FROM DALLAS/FORT WORTH, TEXAS

About Me

Cool SlideshowsI am on a journey to understand (clearly) my purpose in life. After living the fast life (not too fast - but rocky enough), I have come to understand that you can't buy love, you can't make people like you, you won't always be respected or treated fairly. I have learned that higher education and successful jobs don't bring the type of longlasting happiness that you may think. What I do know is that to truly be happy, we must give freely of ourselves with no expectation. You must care about other people who are living in worst conditions or situations. We must care about the elderly who have been tossed away in nursing homes. We have a responsibility to love each other and help each other as we walk in wisdom. My challenge to you is to compliment someone the next time you are at work or out and about. Visit a nursing home. Show love and kindness. And learn to let go of the pain that others have caused. Forgive them and you will be free to love again.....
