One week ago, while vacationing with my family in Minnesota, I learned of my mother’s sudden death. She was only 58-years-old and had not been ill, so news of her death was quite unexpected.

On September 11, I spent the day alternating between intense anger that made me clench my fists and enormous sadness that made me cry.

A great man once said that a life worth living is a life worth recording. With this truth in mind, let us examine the time-honored method of keeping a Journal as a powerful tool for self-improvement. Firstly, understand that a Journal is NOT a diary. Although the line is definitely blurred, a diary largely deals with externals. A Journal is about your inner being. It is actively used as a tool for self-improvement, as opposed to passively recording events.

To Help Raise Awareness Of Children With Cancer |

June 3 is National Cancer Survivors Day. It is a time of celebrating those who have faced cancer and survived. There are over a hundred new cases of cancer in children expected this year for Arkansas alone. Early detection of cancer gives the best odds of beating the disease.
Kids with cancer are the focus of TAB Learning Systems in Arkansas. My partner, Tom Bowen, started the organization after his daughter, Vicky, died of cancer three years ago. We reach out to the families of kids with cancer and help them meet their needs. Whether it is to help fulfill a wish, pay an electric bill, or help with funeral expenses afterwards. We feel that the devastating effects of cancer should not be faced alone.
In honor of those who have fought and won, and those who are still fighting against this terrible disease, we are having a Cancer Survivor’s Day event here in Russellville, AR especially geared for the kids. There will be a magician, speakers, singing, and booths for entertainment.
Get in touch with your local American Cancer Society to find out if an event is planned for your area. You just may want to help sponsor one next year.
Good Luck and God Bless.

September 11, the day darkness fell over our land, terror filled our streets and fear overtook our hearts. Collectively we faced our mortality, our vulnerability, and our fragility. But out of the darkness appeared a bright light, the light of God, the light of hope, the light of unity.
