Loving with Purpose, “So What’s It About?
This was the question asked over and over at my most recent events; an expo and a fundraiser.
If you’ve ever wondered what my book, Loving with Purpose, is about, let me tell you…
Because of the title I chose (Loving with Purpose), many people believe it might be a religious book. It is not. It is a relationship book.
A book about the relationship you have with yourself and with others.
With that said, I do share small pieces of God in my book, (e.g. Chapter 12: Touchy Topics), but mainly you will read about you and your relationships; a self-help book aimed at helping people find peace and happiness within themselves and with each other.
This does not mean I won’t share religious viewpoints on my website…in my own way. Mostly, from the words of spiritual and religious leaders who I’ve come to respect and trust. I believe, without a doubt, that my life, that the relationship I have with myself, is totally defined by the ways of God.
For this reason, I share what I find helpful, to me and for others, on my website, Loving with Purpose, and other media outlets. God is a part of Loving with Purpose. It has to be…since my belief system is based on His words. Sure, I don’t do anything to perfection; no one does, but I learn more every day and want to share what I find useful.
Although I knew some people didn’t really understand what the book was about, through my most recent expo and fundraiser events, I learned that for certain. I needed to let people know.
I felt it necessary to share the fact that Loving with Purpose, my book, is not based on religion. It is, however, based on personal awareness, self-worth, and success…and although I talk very little about God in the book, I know He is a big part of our journey.
So, that’s it! I just wanted to give more clarity to you about the purpose of my book, Loving with Purpose. I hope you take the time to pick up a copy and check it out for yourself.
If you want to learn more about Loving with Purpose, take a look at the Table of Contents, or peek under About Me to see what I have to say for myself.

Mother on Mother’s Day
If you are fortunate enough to have your mother on Mother’s Day, be thankful…right in this moment. Not all of us have the opportunity to pick up the phone, go to dinner, or share in the affection of family. For that reason alone, a hug is in order; if not to hug your own mother, then to hug someone else’s mom.
So why is your mother so important to you? Is it because you would not be here if it wasn’t for her? Is it because she raised you to be the person you are today? Perhaps it’s because you still count on her for every day support. Or, perhaps, it’s because her health is failing, and you realize that time is precious.
“Because you gave me life, and more importantly, lessons in how to live, you are the wellspring from which flows all good I may achieve in my time on earth. For all that you are, and all that I am, thank you, Mom.” ~ David L. Weatherford
As this special day for mothers comes upon us, I’d like to share an article I wrote a while ago. As you read, take note of what you could say to your own mother. You have the power to make her feel really special…on her special day.

Recent Testimonial for Loving with Purpose
Standards, Expectations & Goals spreadsheet
“This is EXCELLENT. I think you explained the differences between standards, expectations & goals quite clearly…and the list you included showed those differences. I actually intend on using the form myself…starting with jobs and education
Maybe relationships; if time can be given to any extra curricular activity. Still, I am open to it; where before, I was closed off from that thought. Thank you for all the work you’re doing on your blog and please keep me updated on your progress.” ~ MBB

Remind your children….they can ‘always’ talk to you about anything. Remind yourself…
…to have simple, everyday conversations with them. As @JayMcGraw said, “Parents, you need to talk to your children about things that don’t matter, so that the channel is open and ready when it’s time to talk about things that do matter.
“I am a love advice columnist who doesn’t…
…have love all figured out.” ~ Loving with Purpose
“When we take the time to realize our own deficiencies, then we can grow.”
In fact, I knew that going into the process of writing. I knew I would need to grow more ’in’ the process of writing…and I have. Since I’ve always had an interest in why things happen, and I’ve had pen in hand throughout my life, the knowledge of what I needed to say came quite easy for me.
Still, I do not, nor does anyone else, have all the answers when it comes to love. If I did, then everyone would come with their very own instruction manual. No two people are the same, so to say, “this is what works for you” only means that “this is what can work for you.”
The best anyone can offer you is advice; from people who have learned from their mistakes, their triumphs, and/or from what they learned in schools and other interactions. They either learned what they know through books, interactions, or life…or all of the above. One thing is for certain, what it takes to have a good self-esteem, a good relationship, and a good life comes from experience.
With that said, there is a lot of advice out there on the market…some good, some bad. I can say to you with great pride that Loving with Purpose is good advice. Each chapter offers its own reflection into various aspects of you: yourself, your dating or marital relationships, your children, and many of the issues that you come across in life. Loving with Purpose is a guide that helps you manage and change your life into what you really want.
Take a look at yourself and those relationships that mean so much to you. Pick up a copy today at your local fine store or through Amazon or Smashwords. Whether you like the turn of a page or a click to your reading device, you can find Loving with Purpose in paperback and electronic format. Give it a try…and thanks.

will learn to “live in the moment.”

“A woman would be much better off…
…if she could distinguish the difference between a man who flatters her and a man who compliments her. A man who spends money on her and a man who invests in her. A man who views her as property and a man who views her properly. A man who lusts after her and a man who loves her. A man who believes he is God’s gift to women and a man that REMEMBERS a woman was God’s gift to man!” ~ Unknown Author
