The Ageless Achievement Ladder

Today, my brother is enjoying his special day...his birthday. May you have many birthdays as you continue to attain your many opportunities to climb the achievement ladder of success. Although climbing the ladder has its ups and downs, you have succeeded with many ventures that were uniquely yours. Often you have been the frustrated entrepreneur who was looking for a new adventure and thinking outside the box. You have touched many lives over your 68 years, but you will touch even more lives in the years to come. Thank you for being my brother, friend, confidant, and loyal supporter. May you have many more dreams that are filled in reality and vision with many more climbs up and down the ladder of achievement.

This Christmas has been very special for many of us. We have had the opportunity to be with family and friends and to enjoy the wonderful company and companionship of those who really love us. But we know that this is an imperfect world in which we live. There are many who are without family, friends, home, security, employment, and alone. May the Christmas spirit rub off on all of us to remember the less fortunate throughout the New Year...the other 365 days. Let us help the less fortunate to give them a hand up rather than a hand out to ease our consciences and our social mores. Fortunately, you can look very close to home to find your answers to reaching out to your community. Your family first, your neighbors next, your forgotten friends, the dependent, the lonely, the ignored.....the Nobodies....the left out!..
There are some who may want to start a Nobodies Club that meets on the 32nd day of each month and has no special biased agenda...The agenda is open for all to voice their concerns...to air, to care, to share, and to bear. This Club is inclusive...no dues...no special meeting times...no special fund raising...no cliques...no exclusions...for whatever reason....This is a 24/7 arrangement that really MAKES A DIFFERENCE in your community....No publicity is necessary to make things happen...Each uniqueness makes the puzzle complete for all concerned.

In this upcoming New Year, may we all find within ourselves the desire to encourage positively all human beings to being what they deserve to be...human, loved, and understood!...Let us all be instruments of peace, joy, and love to bring about a change that will impact worldwide. May all find the God of Love who wants the best for each one of us with His unconditional love.
