It’s a brisk, breezy and clear morning here on St. Thomas, clearing out the clouds to provide a perfect photo for the ultra clear message I’m about to deliver from ….
Yesterday morning, I read only 3 paragraphs of “Think and Grow Rich”. The words contained within this short section of Napoleon Hill’s book I feel are profoundly important.

When you read them, think of the story I’ve told you of my own life.

What a pretty sunrise this morning, which took it’s sweet ol’ time to hurdle up over the peaks in the clouds. I sure hope this photo’s soft glow warms some hearts, as I hear another round of winter has descended for some of you (sorry!!) …
With this bit of extra time for my meditation, I was busy using that imagination of mine to envision a friend writing a musical comedy for Broadway.
