			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This blog is a part of my new beginning.  I have reached the point in my life where I am ready to make a change&#8230;not only in my life, but in the life of everyone that I meet, know, and love.  I have always felt (and have been told by others) that I was supposed to take a leadership role and help others to overcome obstacles and hardships and to live a life filled with happiness, peace, and success&#8230;no matter what circumstances come along.  I learned first-hand, at a very young age, about staying positive in the midst of crisis.  Yet&#8230;somehow, a half-century has gone by (almost) and I have not stepped up to the plate. </p>
<p>Well&#8230;now I am being driven by a powerful force to finally become what I am destined to be and to live the life of purpose that I know we can all achieve.  I have a responsibility to my precious child, and to everyone around me, to finally reach for the stars and to leave a lasting legacy.</p>
<p>Life is too short to hold grudges; to struggle; and to feel guilty about the mistakes that we inevitably make during our lifetime.  So&#8230;I am committed to going forth with confidence, faith, and courage to fulfill my life-long dreams and to guide others to a life of purpose, growth, and prosperity.</p>
<p>I am exceedingly Grateful for those who have been by my side through some very challenging times; for those who have encouraged me to &#8220;go for it&#8221;;  for those who will love me and support me as I take this leap of faith on my new journey; and for those who will not laugh at my dreams but will applaud my successes.  May God shine on you and bring you peace, joy, and abundance.</p>
<p>Please visit my blog often.  It is a work-in-progress and I welcome your comments and suggestions!</p>
