In the Scheme of Things Columns - Now Available
By Reader Request
I have been writing my life reflections column, In the Scheme of Things, since February 2003, and have thousands of subscribing readers.
Over the years the consistent question I received was, "when are you going to publish your columns?" Well, I'm happy to announce that based on continued reader request, PDF downloads of each year are available for a small purchase price ($5.95 per year) from my company, MountainWorks Communications.
Current In the Scheme of Things columns can be found on www.intheschemeofthings.com, as well as in print publications in six states and Canada.
Selected columns have been published in a variety of anthologies including: Chicken Soup for the Shoppers Soul, Cup of Comfort for Weddings, Classic Christmas, and Letters to My Teachers.

January 17, 2007Thought for the Day
Words from the twentieth century actress, Helen Hayes, caught my attention recently: "My mother drew a distinction between achievement and success. She said achievement is the knowledge that you have studied and worked hard and done the best that is in you. Success is being praised by others That is nice but not as important or satisfying. Always aim for achievement and forget about success."

January 03, 2007Thought for the Day
It's true ... you've got to believe.
As the New Year begins, with the promise of new beginnings, goals and dreams, I'm reminded of the power of thought in creating the life you want.
I know for me, the power of belief has been a significant factor in accomplishing my dreams. If I didn't believe it could happen, how could I possibly make it happen?
In that spirit of creating the life you want, I thought I'd share a few favorite quotes on the topic:
"The thing always happens that you really believe in; and the belief in a thing makes it happen." ~ Frank Lloyd Wright
"One of the greatest of all principles is that men can do what they think they can do." ~ Norman Vincent Peale
"To accomplish great things we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe." ~ Anatole France
Keep the belief in your dreams fueled. Recently my company, MountainWorks Communications, launched a new product that you might find helpful in your dream and goal achievement. It's called DailyVitamin.
