START A REVOLUTION, DON’T MAKE ANOTHER RESOLUTION Has 2011 already found you fighting to keep the resolutions you swore you’d keep this year? If so, in 2011, it’s time to take a different approach to the New Year’s behaviors you are hoping to implement (or rid yourself of.) Change is difficult, even when for the better. And year after year, Americans take the same approach to making changes that will improve their lives: The infamous New Year’s Resolution. The problem? Not to state the obvious, but overwhelmingly it doesn’t work. Over 75% of us will give up on every New Year’s Resolution before the end of January! So, if you really want to stop smoking, lose 25lbs., save more, love more, give more etc., it’s time for a REVOLUTION, not a RESOLUTION! Take a minute to ponder the difference: 1. Resolutions have beginnings and endings. Revolutions begin with small changes and keep growing until whole lives are changed. 2. Resolutions usually begin with something we don’t really want t...

Please Don’t Forget As the anniversary of 9/11 passes, I begin to reflect on a statement one of the firemen who made it safely out of the south tower made over ten years ago; “I hope people don’t forget.” Although, in recent weeks, memorial services and TV programs provided us the somber reminders, I do fear forgetting. I felt that way a little over two years ago as well. On January 26, 2009, my family lost my dear, sweet, loving, kind and generous brother. Lost to a brutal illness; a killer with an ugly face. Alcohol. He battled the disease for as long as I can remember and experienced wonderful periods of sobriety, wrecked by years of job loss, broken relationships and even homelessness. It was this tragic loss in life that taught me so many lessons. I vowed to share his story every chance I was given. A story of hope in tragedy, a story of survival of the human spirit, and a story of God’s true grace, love and mercy in turmoil. In this way, I hope to “pay forward” to others experien...
