Life Enhancement....
People that are just nice (straight up). Honest people...good folks with high moral values and standards. I think that an initial meeting should not be longer than an hour--if you enjoy the company, you can always plan to meet again. However, if you are in tremendous pain and torment because the person you're meeting is a great disappointment (and from time to time it happens), then you've only wasted an hour. I'm finding that my tolerance for ignorant, foolish, insensitive and drama-driven individuals has been depleted for a while, so I try to avoid those personalities and situations. But, they sneak up on me from time to time. But...more than any of those people, I want to meet the Lord (in peace).

I like most anything written by John C Maxwell, right now I'm reading a three in one book: The Winning Attitude, Developing the Leaders Around You, Becoming a Person of Influence. Joyce Meyers is nice as well as Charles Swindoll. I like the Bible too. :)--there is so much goodness in it. I read up on Finances, but I don't know too much about it (so I'm trying to help myself....if you're reading this, aside from REAL ESTATE, if you have any tips...please share them with me).
My wonderful and loving Parents (Married 33 years and going), Grandparents, YOU-if you are doing something positive.
