There is always something bigger going on in our lives than we can know or expect. In truth, the story of our lives is being written right in front of us. The story line is being revealed every day. For an author to interrupt your story line is unfair. The best another can do is share his own story, looking for commonality in humanity. It is my desire that you enjoy the simple stories and glean a nugget of truth you can use in your own journey. Then hopefully you will find new ways to stand squarely in the middle of your own life and understand what is going on in a way you never have before. Kurtis S. Pearson, CFP(R)
