Of all the forces that are exerted on us over our lifetime, at least for me, love has been the most powerful of all.

I have been fortunate to have a career that has allowed me to travel the world and come in contact with many different cultures and people.

There are so many messages and lessons that I have been taught that I would want to share with people. Perhaps one that is very present in my mind now is the concept that we are all living on this one tiny planet that we call Earth. It is very small and is not getting any bigger, but the amount of people living on this planet continues to grow at a rapid rate.

If you are a professional, the speed with which you react to a potential problem separates the men from the boys.

I don't dwell in the past; I don't wallow in old events and emotions. I don't waste time on regret. No use going over and over the details of what already happened.

Perhaps the most important contribution to me being centered in the midst of this chaos is my daughter, Krystal Ann. I am very lucky because she works with me and is responsible for many aspects of the business on the marketing side of my career. This allows us to travel together and experience life on the road, seeing the world. Having family with me is very important and grounding.

My mother loved everyone she came in contact with. She always shared her love and was able to heal those around her with it.
