Welcome
Thank you for checking out this website. I created it as a way of giving readers an opportunity to look deeper into one’s life, using the many publications that I have used over the years for the MISTER newsletter, to go that extra mental inner distance to make life changes and hopefully to inspire other people to contemplation.
One important thing I have learned in life is the it the ‘broken’ people who make it easier to communicate with about one’s life issues, Just the same as the ‘broken’ person who has written about their difficult life is very helpful for other people. Examples that come to mind are: Louise L. Hay, Robert Bradshaw, Melody Beattie, Lee and Jerry Jampolski and no doubt numerous people.
Best regards from Ron Parnell.
