The point


My vision for this project is to be a literal open book. What are the major life lessons I have learned so far? What have others learned? How can we all benefit from this? I mean everyone. Regardless of background, faith,culture, political leaning, whether one likes skim milk or not, there has to be a standard of inter-living ability and quality we all can share with each other and be happy. And dare I say be there for each other. We have to believe this is possible. I'm not writing about how do we create another Hands Across America, however wouldn't it make sense to create a living document, based upon collective life lessons, experience and sensibilities? If nothing else, I want to pass a minimal "how to" based lessons for my three children. I have realized this more than ever the last 4 years.

So from time to time, I post and share to friends, family and complete strangers ideas and ideals I think make life worth living. All are welcome to comment, make new suggestions and criticisms to these ideas. I realize there is a lot of fluff out in the internet community and this may indeed qualify as fluff, but sometimes you just have to pause and reflect on your life and what you do with it. I am a father, and a teacher who has made a huge share of mistakes in my life. I want to at least learn from them and if at all possible correct some of them. As this writing project changes, I too hope to change. I would love if anyone wants to be part of this. Thanks for considering.
