The Solution is the Blessing!

I know a lot of us are concerned with the state of the economy, we're afraid of our incomes shrinking, we're afraid of losing our jobs, and we're afraid of prices skyrocketing. These are uncertain times, to be sure. How do we make them certain? Only one way - to take things into our own hands.

I, like many of you, am a religious person. Many people of my faith may look at this as some sort of trial, and the trial is some sort of blessing. Trials are not a blessing. Trials are problems. Problems have solutions. And it's the solution that is the blessing.

I set up this blog because I know that I can address the questions that may be weighing down on you. How do you stretch your dollars even further, or if you need to increase your income, how can you do that? How can you take matters into your own hands when all the institutions you were taught to depend on are failing?

Were you taught to do well in school, go to college, and get a good job? Yeah, so was I. Now, I don't regret going to college - I learned a lot at Berklee College of Music, and I loved my time there so much I didn't want to graduate. And do I have a job? Well, yes, and I'm one of the lucky ones that my company isn't downsizing right now, even though they've had to institute a hiring freeze.

But let's face it, I also know it's not enough. It's not enough for someone that wants to use his skills and talents he gained at Berklee. It's not enough for someone who values the institution of marriage so much that he's willing to go as far as Vladivostok, Russia, to make it happen. And it's not enough for many of you who don't even have the luxury of a stable job to depend on.

This blog is for those of you who find yourself in this position.

Keep reading. Write back. Send me articles.

The focus is on the solution.

The trial is not the blessing. The solution is the blessing. :-)
