NOTE: This site would not be what is without the help from many,
and I have more to add.
Thanks go to:
Cindi L
A psychotherapist, helped me to realize that therapy can be a
great tool for learning how to live a happier life. They can be great
coaches and teachers. We also
spent many
loving hours studying ACIM in small groups, something that greatly and beautifully started
me down yet another new journey
to increase my happiness. Her
book can be found here. (amazon) Thanks!
Ann K
For helping out with reviewing many pages, more than once,
and for her supporting me with this site in many ways. Ann provided me
with a deeper understanding of Buddhism, and was a good role model
including dedication, exercise and Yoga, teaching Yoga, as well as
starting a positive book club.
On the back of her holiday cards carried for many years a quote from
Dali Lama:
"My religion is
simple,
I practice
Kindness". Thanks!
Bruce F
Long friend going back to college, he has provided support, wisdom, and
fun as well as his prospective on life in the inspiration section. Thanks!
Dan L
Long time friend also goes back to just after college. A beautiful spiritual
man who also has supported me in this with wise feedback and suggestions.
Thanks!
Richie K
Another long time friend who expressed love, and understanding. We would
talk often for hours, and he was always there! He had been a very long time smoker, and quit. He
provided me with probably most of the links in the health section. He
chose a very heroic path when his cancer came back. He was an orphan, and
I felt like we were
brothers to each other. Thanks!
We first met in Boston at a
John Bradshaw workshop on "the family system". He was such a
mentor for me. He then moved to Georgia and over they years sent me gobs
of educational resources from sources on so many life topics. He explained the deep meaning behind the father and son to
a movie that I thought prior to this was just fun, Star Wars! And
then Richie's gifts of understanding, education and compassion
continued. He may
have had one of the only complete collection of Joseph Campbell! He also
provided many introspective videos, just to mention a few: The Buddha,
The Celestine Prophecy, Deepak Chopra, Mary Shelly's
"Frankenstein", Finding Joe, Follow your Bliss, Gandhi, The Gods
must be crazy, Kundum move, Peaceful warrior, Life of PI, Into the wild,
On Being a Man (by Robert Bly and Michael Mead), Carl Jung - The wisdom of
the dream, a life of dreams, and more. I
invite you to consider some of his suggestions. Thanks!
Ben S
Ben has a keen eye on grammar, something I totally missed by moving
between schools, I was not taught it. I also never expected to write :)!
Ben is great in both a technical as
well as being helpful with many advanced perspectives that help add and improve
content. He
too has wonderful quest and curiosity for understanding, and has provided
many insights to me, much like Riche did. Thanks!
John G
A long time friend as well. He has also helped to review the site,
provide feedback, and has such a great perspective on life. Thanks!
Jen G
A long time friend as well. She has also helped to review the site,
provide feedback, and has been a good role model for
love. Thanks!
Bill K
One of my soul friends who
has inspired me in many ways in this site and life. Thanks!

Since people have asked, a bit about me:
I have always
had a great gift of curiosity. It's great, because it drives me to learn.
It was clear that I had this gift when I was quite young. Being a positive
person at heart, as life progressed I felt that maybe the most important
thing I wanted to "master" was happiness, and positive feelings.
Although
I had many great experiences growing up, I also experienced challenges
at times. I was also lucky that I had an amazing Grandma who taught lessons about love, honesty and kindness. This
helped me towards learning how to live a life focusing on love/kindness. I
spent many years reading and learning how to improve my life, my
feelings. My path took me to many great people including Richie.
Richie, like many of my friends, had a similar, almost frenzy,
full, rich, beautiful quest for increasing healthy positive emotional feelings
and he
provided me with many amazing resources! The statement in ACIM says, "You can't have anything unless you
give it away, for giving is proof of having". Through many years, I enjoyed
soaking up tips or tools that could help me become better and better, and was
always willing to share with others what we had learned. You can see many
of Richie's resources, and if you are interested in some of my
favorites, simply ask.
One of the
greatest gifts given to me many years ago was a
simple view that you could group all emotions into just two, Love and
Fear, as taught
through A Course In Miracles (acim.org).
ACIM states you are either coming from Love or you are coming from
fear. Since all fear stems from thought, and love comes from within,
the only thing that is "real" according to ACIM is Love. For
more details, see: Love
Recently, another great gift
was to listen to an audio book by Neale Donald Walsch called Conversations from
God.
The view from ACIM is that Love is the only feeling that is true
or "real", and the view from Conversations from
God is that our life experiences on this planet can provide us with the contrast
of love verses fear. I believe we are born as love, and that only humans
teach us to fear. This contrast helps me "see"
and appreciate how beautiful Love feels. It
allows me to come back to the realization that "Love"
is the most valuable gift in my life. I focus on and
bask in
Love whenever possible. I love to share it,
for doing so strengthens my relationship with love. Giving is proof of
having, and giving only multiplies what you already have.
For
many years, I had trouble with the word "god", especially as man
with a scientific mind. Back then, I probably would not have listened to
it. So for the following topic, you may find it confusing, or may not be
interested.
The
following audio was read from a NY Times Bestseller book. A dear
friend Larry K gave me the book many years ago, but I was not ready for it, and the book didn't
flow for me. At one point in my life, I believed
"channeling" to be a bunch of quack. In short, I invite you to consider
ignoring those kinds of thoughts and just
feel if the message
resonates or
sounds true to you. I hope you enjoy the audio version of Conversations
with God
