Who knows what a vision really is? To me a vision is something that we want to see and hopefully come to fruition some way or how to show that we have lived the way that we want and wanted. I believe that I have several visions, and some have actually occurred. My first vision was to one day get my advanced degrees, my second was to write a poetry book and get it published even though it didn't sell. I am trying this one again for I wrote a few Art picture books and a text/workbook for Barnes and Nobels Book Nook in the form of eBooks, but so far, no takers, but still hoping.
So, a vision for me is seeing myself making myself happy and hopefully comfortable in an online world of writing, teaching and something artistically creative for all. What made me start thinking about a vision for me is that I am reading a book entitled 'Visioneering' written by Andy Stanley. This is a book that shows one how to discover and maintain their vision. This is a book that covers the basics of how a vision is formed and how one goes about making it come true. Andy Stanley uses his personal ideas and as a pastor using some biblical scriptures to explain how one can improve a current position, learn how to take and use criticism, show how one can have a moral authority in their various projects and in life, how to go public with their ideas and vision from beginnings to endings with all their current know-how as well as making sure that things and ideas align with what is and may be going on around them and in the end just to be able to maintain and keep their vision strong and thriving for all to learn and enjoy without the many distractions that may come along.
This may be kind of a personal question to ask but what vision do you have for your life?

We Will Never Forget!
I was just waking up that morning after working a double-shifting weekend as a nurse. Mondays were always like a lost day for me back then for working those long weekends. September 11, 2001, was a day that is another Day of Infamy in the history books just like Pearl Harbor had become. My memory is while sitting on the couch watching 'Good Morning America' and seeing those planes flying really low I was wondering why are they flying so low and then crash and smoke. I just stared at the screen as kids today watch their screens. Always remember.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Countdown to Pearl Harbor: The Twelve Days To The Attack
Countdown to Pearl Harbor: The Twelve Days To The Attack by Steve Twomey I really wasn’t expecting much of this read; I grabbed it while I was at Pearl Harbor because how could I not get a book while I was there?

It starts with love.. The Power to the God Of War and Wealth Walk into a Chinese restaurant (even in Oklahoma, USA), a Chinese police station, a kung fu martial arts studio or even a Chinese temple and you often see a red faced warrior holding a heavy quan-do (spear like weapon).

At this point in my life is that my kids will be happy and that I will be successful with my writing.
