EDITORIAL NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR
Most of the content in this book was created in conjunction with a significant amount of listening
to my intuition (my higher self). I wrote it as I felt it. In doing so, there are instances where standard protocols of punctuation and/or grammar are compromised. With authenticity and integrity as my priority, Archway Publishing Company has graciously allowed these occurrences. It should be known, the style and variances in punctuation and grammar are completely my own and have remained at my request.

AUTHOR’S MESSAGE
This book was created over many years; then written on paper, with ink pens, by my hand during the fall of 2012 and winter 2013. Some of the content is from me, most is through me.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
To acknowledge everyone who had an impact on me, which provided content toward this book would be very challenging. I do not believe I could even remember everyone. There are several who stand out that I do wish to mention. Whether these people consciously know it or not, they had a noticeable impact.
MY FAMILY
My fiancée, Tracy, my missing link
.
My son, Matt, who I knew was coming 11 years prior to his birth, bringing immeasurable pride.
My ex-wife, Valerie, one of the best mom’s and grandma’s I have ever witnessed.
My daughter, Jennifer, who represents the definition of The Golden Rule
at her young age.
My daughter, Jessica, even without a full-time dad, turned out to be an exceptional adult.
My stepdaughter, Kim, who gave me so much, but nothing greater than the day I walked her down the aisle
.
My stepdaughter, Nicole, despite her medical issues, represents a level of strength and a positive approach that is absolutely from her higher place
.
My stepson, Chris, we didn’t bond well in the beginning due to our individual histories, but grew to form a mutual respect. Thank you for allowing me in.
My stepson, Michael, while you possess a somewhat small body, you are one of the biggest men I have ever known.
Christie Miller: I must also acknowledge the very talented young lady that was given the task of transforming my handwritten words into something actually legible. This is no small task. My penmanship and spelling are much less than neat and accurate to say the least. She approached this project, as she does all of her endeavors, with 100% sincere efforts.
THANK YOU ALL!
INTRODUCTION
Several years ago I began writing. I’ve always written notes, letters, goals, plans, etc., but this was different. For the first time I was writing what appeared to be articles. What’s strange about this is I wasn’t sending them to anyone. No one requested this of me. I just felt like writing about something and would pick up a full-size notepad and pen and start. At first my articles might be one page (written) or ten pages. I would just get to a point where I was content and end it. Most of my subject matter was (and much still is) personal. These did not come out in diary form, but more like analysis form. I would address a specific topic as though I had an audience. Before long I’d find myself going beyond my personal issues and examining a much, much broader scope of human interaction, behavior etc.
As more of my thoughts and feelings came out, I could see a pattern developing. This type of communication suited me very well. Actually, (at the risk of sounding a little full of myself), sometimes my articles would impress me! As I continued, I began sharing some of my writing with certain people around me. They were also impressed. Many of my articles
were of the professional nature. I would address a company protocol and/or the function of its people. I was also more specific at times in referring to my personal industry of construction and/or solar energy. I particularly enjoyed connecting my roots of farming and ranching with the implementation of solar energy. Many of my articles were included in my own company website and several were published in California Farmer magazine and Nevada Rancher newspaper. On a completely different note, I wrote a lot of very personal papers that simply were kept in my desk drawer. These were a means of communication I was having with my higher self and other energies that were not of the physical nature. Many of these writings were during difficult times of personal struggle. I now realize I was preparing myself to be able to accept my abilities to connect with my intuition and produce real information based on real experiences that I could provide on a widespread scale to the public with my strong desire to help others. However, prior to this awareness I would question myself, where is all this coming from?
I’m only a high school graduate. I wasn’t an A
student. My school had only a couple hundred students combined in all four grades. My childhood was really messed up (more on this later). I’ve been in construction, farming and ranching my entire life. Suffice it to say, I’m not the stereotypical author. Nevertheless I enjoy it, I’m good at it and a lot of my information comes without extensive research or study.
This book contains very diversified content. At times I will share personal experiences, thoughts, feelings and opinions. I will look at history, address the future, and even talk about others. I have not asked anyone’s permission so I will not use any of their personal information. I will include many of my original articles along the way and be controversial at times. You will soon realize my intent to challenge the status quo.
Finally, I will admit there will be times I will repeat myself in principle. That is to say I will talk about the same subject more than once as we go along. I have a certain straightforward
style of communicating. By far, the most important thing I wish to say now is - thank you! Thank you for taking the time to read this material. I truly hope it promotes thought, inspires feelings and causes discussion.
Today I begin to manifest so much that has been coming for a long time - this book is that beginning. I am both excited and intimidated. I am excited because I know that you can realize a much more positive approach to your life’s experiences with some clarity. Through my awareness I hope to provide you clarity in areas you may be simply overlooking and/or allowing the status quo
to decide for you. I am a little intimidated due to my limited experience in publishing material for public view (at least on a large scale).
I have so much to share, yet I’m not exactly sure how to put it all together. So, I will do what I have been doing for quite some time: start. Again, on the outside I do not fit the typical author stereotype. But then what is the typical author? That depends on the subject matter a great deal. For me, it is not a good idea to stereotype. When I reach a conclusion of this first book, I truly hope some, if not most, of you will have benefited. That is my goal. Although I will talk about some of my own experiences, I really want what I say here to cause others to look and listen
.
If we must categorize this book, then it would be classified in several ways. It will be spiritual. It could be labeled self-help
. It will have personal meaning. We will also go into business relationships. So with all these different arenas, what makes me qualified to talk about them? Good question. This may be where some of you stop reading, but I’m going to
