Becky and I released a book.

A hard one to write; an even harder journey to travel.

Read it and you’ll know what to say or not say to someone facing cancer. Give it to a co-worker, friend, or family member and you will serve them well.

Or, maybe your own heart needs hope.

“Just wanted you to know that I just recently read it in one sitting and found so much relief from it. I’ve since passed it along to others that are currently struggling too.”

Just a 30-45 min read; enough time to make a difference. #FourCornersOfGrace

Every book has a backstory. And a purpose.

A new way to show up when someone needs it most.
A journey toward hope.

For the 2nd consecutive time, I lead a nonprofit organization and a much-needed re-engineering effort. Bottom line: I now serve as the Transforming Center’s Interim Executive Director.

As the sun sets tonite, move week arrives. 11 yrs ago God told our family it was time to go, so we left IL. Wow, Grand Haven & our friends here gave us full hearts & many reasons to leave w/ smiles! Now, we trust that a new season begins because tomorrow, it’s time to go again.

If you have friends with whom you can effortlessly laugh and also shed tears, then you have found true friends.

[David Staal @David_Staal]

Hope must have reasons. If not, it's just a dream, your imagination, or a cruel delusion.

So share a reason...or be a reason.
