Dancing Among the Fireflies Becoming the Best Person that you can possibly be.

No one is a single person, in that we all wear many different hats during our lifetime. I am a son, a brother, a husband, and a father; but I am also a retired police officer, a magician, a cancer survivor, and an ordained permanent deacon, among other things. Most of all, I am a human being that wants to be most fully human. I want to become the best person that I can be. Like us all, I have lots of work a head of me. We are all a work in progress. It is my hope that what I have written will inspire and help you in your journey to become the best person ever: a person defined by the qualities of love, compassion, patience, understanding, and respect. At the moment of this writing, the world is in the midst of the 2020 Coronavirus Pandemic that has killed many people worldwide, and has infected millions more, and the numbers keep increasing daily. Additionally, this year, we have witnessed horrible murderous acts against humanity, demonstrating a pandemic of hatred and racism. More than ever, the world needs us all to be a source of hope to each other. Many are losing hope, are overwhelmed and depressed. Life can be difficult and messy, but I believe that we can get through this if we work together, and that we do this while looking out for our neighbor and their needs. We must become the change that the world so desperately needs at this very moment.
