SunShine Dialogue,

When I first began writing The SunShine Dialogues, I had a vision of what I wanted to do, where I wanted them to lead, but no clear path. After writing six of those dialogues, I can say that the vision has clarified to some degree, which is why I want to back track momentary.

My primary objective is to help people find a deeper vision to their lives. I want people to feel the joy of the early morning sun on the skin of their face. I want them to feel the stir of passion brought on by a beautiful piece of music or a master work of art. I want people to treasure the moments of their meals shared with friends, to enjoy the taste of the wine, to discover the way it enhances the food. These are all the things that Beautiful Summer Morning is all about.

Why do I want to share the vision? Why do I care how people live their lives?

I guess because we are all in this dance together. We share the experience of our journey: that time between birth and death which is our glory, our moment in the sun.

As Iâ€™ve said before, if you want bad news, the world is full of it. The good news gets buried beneath the garbage the merchants of chaos are only too happy to spew at us.
The barrage can overwhelm even the stoutest optimist among us. I do not want to live in that world, and I figure if enough of us live in a different more civilized world, then eventually we win against the howling wind of negativity that sweeps all things before it.

There is beauty in a simple sunset, and in a lovingly prepared pasta dish. A bottle of wine is distilled essence of love, a symphony a powerful creation of man, a novel the testimony of our imaginations, a garden or a masterwork of art are twins of creation.

There are songs out there that sing the music of my soul, words and harmony that snake way down inside and grab hold of some inner passion, exposes it and brings it to life in my being.

You have experienced music like that, I know. You have Brand Viagra spent a long romantic evening talking to someone who is your heart mate, who plays the chord of your soul.
They are moments held out of time. They are treasures that you hold close and dear.
They are the treasures that make the journey of our lives so powerful. They are why I write; because it is the only way, I know to get the emotion out.

You need to follow these four Life Keys to enhance the richness of your life.

They are:

A journal: A place to record those moments.

A dream: that burns up your spine and sets you on fire.

The Words Of Empowerment: the works of men and women (the books, the art, the music) who are making the journey and giving us a travelogue of their experiences as way finding signs for the rest of us to follow.

The Fourth Key: Your commitment to live your life as a light shinning in the darkness for others to follow. As you light your candle, you can then light the candles of others, which brings day to night, and sun into the darkness.

A Journal, A Dream, The Words of Empowerment, The Commitment to be a Sun.

The SunShine Dialogues is my humble attempt to point to the path, to encourage you to travel down the road, to make this world a better place for you, and for me, and for all of us sharing the journey, right now, right this minute.
