A Thought for the Day

My friend, Mike Ferrier, sends out a weekly “thought”, and this week this is a good one and I wanted to get it out to folks that appreciate these kinds of things….always a motivator for me…here it is:

Permission to Dream



“Dream lofty dreams, and as you dream,

so shall you become.

Your vision is the promise of what you

shall one day be;

your ideal is the prophecy of what you

shall at last unveil.” ~ James Allen





Always remember that your thoughts, words and actions become your reality, so always make them positive. Dream big, keep your faith and know that miracles happen every single day!



A dream does not need to happen when you are asleep. I like the inspiration of aspiration. Let your imagination run and you will not get out of breath, but it may take your breath away. Just this morning I thanked my buddy Ron for encouraging me to, “Dream the Impossible Dream.”



Be Happy & Healthy,



A lot of truth here….and best wishes, to all.

The Weather Outside is Gorgeous,..sorry Dallas!

As I rode my bike along the beautiful Sacramento River Trail earlier this morning, I could not help but think back at what I had seen an hour earlier on CNN….when they did the pre-Super Bowl thing about the weather in Dallas, TX. Today is over 70 in Northern California, and suppose to be 77 tomorrow….and still we have snow on all 3 of the surrounding mountains, Lassen, Shasta, and Trinity Bally….what a scene with the bright sun and clear skies.

And, as I rode, and reflecting back on the great Chamberee last night, and then the excitement of being part of United Way and the many agencies and the work that they are doing….and what good we are accomplishing here in the North State….just had to think about how blessed we are to be here in Shasta County. Even with the downturn in the economy, the people here are enjoying life as best they can…taking full advantage of the quality of life here in the North State.

Just had to reflect a few moments….nothing exciting…just reality.
