Tomorrow will mark the third full week since my dismissal from the daily grind, and still…I am optimistic!  Perhaps more so because of the truth in the aforementioned statement from Horace.  My world is opening, as if a bloom whose potential has not yet been realized.  It is doing so, in large measure, because of friends like you whose prayers and support continue to be answered by GOD, whose magnificence cannot be contained by limitations.

“Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.”

Stop waiting for the right time!  There is no such thing!  Slip your feet into the shoes of your imagination’s childhood, and begin anew the chase.  Pursue your dreams with all the enthusiasim of your youth, joyfully, wildly, swishing and swinging your butterfly net of possibility! You may surprise yourself with an unexpected catch. - RJS

For those of you who haven’t heard, I was part of reduction in force that affected Clear Channel production departments all across the country.  In layman’s english, I was fired this past week.  Over the last six days a number of people concerned for my welfare have called, e-mailed, or facebooked, asking, “how are you holding up?”  This week’s Point-T0-Ponder illustrates beautifully where my thoughts have lingered since getting the news.

“What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, The Master calls a butterfly.”

Thanks for all the prayers!  I too hope that the chrysalis of un-employment will be but a brief layover.

“Trust only movement.  Life happens at the level of events, not of words.  Trust movement.”
