Recently I've been watching, listening, reading a lot of the works
of the late mythologist Joesph Campbell which has me exploring
the ideas around myth , mythology,and legacy.
I thought about all famous people who had legacies created about them.
I've decided its time a legacy was built around my beautiful late
wife Patty Claire. Patty was a child prodigy having an IQ of over
200 and when she passed over, she was working on her first of
two Phd's to add to her 2 B.A.'s and 2 M.A.'s. She's a close relative
of Vivian Mary Hartley also known as 2 times academy award winner
Vivian Leigh who she strongly resembles.
Patty has been named numerous times to Who's Who in the World.
Who's Who in America, Who's Who in American Women , and others.
She was named 3 times Woman of the Year by the American Biographical
Institute and 2 times by the International Biographical Institute.
She was a dramatic soprano singing at the Met, an actress, modern dancer,
artist, poet, and puppet artist. She performed in numerous productions including
performances at Lincoln Center, Summerfest, Irishfest, Germanfest among many
others. I plan on posting and publishing her poetry as well as uploading videos
in the months to come.
This blog is my way of exploring what I've learned the past four years from my wife, in her late 40's, passing on to almost dying myself and getting my left leg amputated, to striving to find a new life.

Are You Proactive or Reactive Towards Life
One of the keys, I find to successful living is facing life
with a proactive attitude that you can control, for the
most part, what happens to you and how you see yourself
in the world. People who are reactive towards life can
feel like their puppets on a string a victim of events and others.
It comes down to your point of view and your belief system.
I've been challenged these last five years with my wife Patty
passing, losing part of my left leg, and losing my autonomy
and freedom but I've developed a proactive attitude to focus
on what I need to do to get my life back and not feel sorry for
what has happened to me. I believe each of us needs to develop
the proactive habit to live happy and productive lives. Remember
" Whether You Think You Can or Think You Can't You're Right."

Building an Online Business Isn't That Easy
For the past couple of years, I've been attempting to
build a business online to supplement my disability
check with no success. I've learned a lot being exposed
to 5 and 6 figure monthly earners who were where I'm
now. I've learned it's not as easy as I thought as 95%
of people never earn anything. But I've also learned
the if you stick with it and keep trying and educating
yourself you can make it.
I've decided to focus on one business promoting
digital audio and video education through a free
marketing system with The Six Figure Success
Team . I offer a Free Report that explains everything.

I feel if you keep working towards something with
singleness of focus you will succeed.

To See Through The Eyes of Yeshua
If only the world today could look to understand our world
through eyes that Yeshua had some 2000 years ago realizing
that we are all interconnected to each other in this great cosmic
drama we call living and that we need to help each other like
the good samaritan. Yeshua taught many lessons through
parables that people didn't fully get then and still don't now.
Imagine how different the world could be. In the years since
my leg amputation, I've had the time to study his great teachings
and consider him a mentor as he challenged me to take this
journey which has helped me to turn my health around from
being given last rites to reversing diabetes and healing my body.
He has taught many if they had the ears to hear.

There's Nothing To Fear As It's All In Your Head
Ben Franklin once said that 90% of the things he feared never happened.
Fear is a major motivator and demotivator in all of our lives directing
how we behave in different situations. Many times the only things holding
you back starting a business, getting new job, meeting a new love interest,
or millions of different things is Your fear which can be real or imaginary.
Franklin Roosevelt stated," There's nothing to fear bur fear itself " and
his wife Eleanor stated that we can overcome our fears by facing them
until we develop a track record of success. I believe Mrs. Roosevelt
is right or as Jack Canfield has said," Feel The Fear But Go For It Anyway."
Fear acts as a barrier to the full lives we desire but only we can do something
about it. We need to develop a plan of action taking baby steps first and then
slowly progressing through the pain of fear until we see it's all in our head .
I have the same problem with fear as anyone but I refuse to let it control my
life and I follow Jack Canfield's advice remember," Feel The Fear But Go
For It Anyway."
Any comments would be appreciated.

A Word on Health and Longevity
On my journey to gain knowledge and understanding of how
the world really works, I've discovered some ideas that can
help anyone who develops and follows a plan a way to good health
and a longer life. I am still searching for more specifics but I've
learned that what we eat and the ability to supplement lower levels
,as we age, of certain vitamins, minerals, hormones, amino acids and
more looks like the key to a long and healthy life. The Greeks said,
" Let Food Be Thy Medicine and Medicine Be Thy Food". Learning,
as I am, how to eat healthy has helped me reverse my diabetes with
an A1C of 5.2 when 3 years ago I was given last rights. Some places
you can start are Dr. Joel Fuhrman's Eat to Live book , Dr.Hyman's
UltraWellness newsletter at www.dr.hyman.com, and www.natural
news.com. Also focus on learning about how to replace the vitamins,
minerals, hormones, amino acids that we get diminished as we age.
An example is l-carnosine which starts to diminish in our bodies
after 40 and is critical for fighting free radicals, maintaining high
energy, and keeping telomeres from shortening which causes
illness leading to death. Check articles in www.naturalnews.com
to learn more. We can take control of our health and longevity
the question is will we?
Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated.

Another Year
Today is my birthday and can't believe I've been in this wheelchair for
three years and Patty's missing my birthday for the fifth year. Alot
has happened this past year as I've learned how to heal diabetes
and done so, left Community Care, and am now working on healing
my neuropathy using the medical rebuilder to make my goal of walking
a reality. I appreciate the people that have helped me Steph, Jim, Curt,
and Van. So as we say in Wisconsin " FORWARD"!
