Spirituality
LIVING SIMPLE Thoughts from the forklift… Simplify your spirituality. There is no need to become a biblical expert or “spiritual gangster”. Don’t wait for all the answers before you start to believe. You never will have all the answers. Simply build a relationship with God, your higher power, or whatever you refer to him or…
Read MoreTrust and Competence
From the Forklift… When we meet new people in this world, they size us up by looking through 2 different lenses – trust and competency. Can I trust this person and are they capable? They say it takes years to build trust with someone. That might be true, but I’d also say it takes…

Do you ever council a friend, have them then compliment and thank you for the advice or tutelage, and then watch them walk away while you think to yourself, “why don’t I do that?”. It doesn’t matter who you are, walking the talk is not easy. It’s much easier to give advice, then follow it.…

“We make a living off what we get, but we make a life off what we give” – Winston Churchill. I’ve lived the previous 9 months without the internet, texting, facebook,“apps”, etc. It was really tough at first to be honest, but I have to tell you, it was kind of nice. Life changing as…

Hello all. It’s been some time. I’m back. Now the journey begins. I hope everyone is well, missed you all so much.

As a 22 year kid, I was secure and confident. Life so far had been full of success, the attitude of “if its going to happen its up to me” was ingrained into me through my youth. My efforts were mostly always rewarded and I didn’t just feel, I KNEW, I was in control of…

I am waiting for my meal here in Spain. They drive fast here, but table service certainly falls into the slower category. This is day 23 for me on the Camino and looking to kill some time before my food gets here, thought I’d try writing something pertaining to the real world. I need to…
