Everyone has a worst time in their life. There's always a worse time. We are all either in a crisis, coming to one or coming out of one.

When I was 19 years old, both of my parents died in the same year; my mom of cancer and my dad in a car accident. Through the next two or three years and a series of bad decisions - all my own, I might add - I ended up literally homeless, before that was even a word. I even slept occasionally under a pier on the Gulf Coast.

I always encourage authors (especially new authors) to be as generous as we are blessed. For one thing, it is a way to help people. For another, it is a seed one is planting for the life of the book. Someone gave it to someone who gave it to someone else.

Truth is like a wild animal; let it loose and it will defend itself!

A grateful perspective brings happiness and abundance into a person's life.

Only true remorse and "Will you forgive me?" can press the reset button.

People tend to read books about a guy who goes back in time or a guy who is living under a pier.
