So, What is Towards Your Better Life About, and Who’s Behind It?

Hello Everybody!!!!

Yep, I woke up this morning.  Thank God, and my wife Selena, for allowing me to wake up.  I’ve been posting to Facebook, for sometime, with that very opening and I figured that it’s time to ramp up my game.

With that, a little about this venture:

Towards Your Better Life is my attempt to continue teaching and counseling, post-retirement.  Who am I?   I’m a retiree from 27+ years in education, having been a middle school/high school teacher, counselor, sometimes principal, and a college teacher/advisor/counselor.  I’ve spent almost my entire working life helping others move forward in life, and I’m not ready to quit now.

Upon retiring last year I found myself enjoying not having to be somewhere, but missing what I’d done in the classroom and counseling office.  I not only found myself missing it, but also doing it, through Facebook posts, emails, phone calls and personal messages.  Thing about Facebook, the posts get lost in the sea of other posts, so I figured, what the heck.  Set up a domain, find a hosting service, make a web page and get going.  Here we are.

Although I taught technology in the mid-’90’s, I am way behind.  So, this isn’t going to be one of those polished sites, and since I’m not an English major, these aren’t going to be polished writings.  In fact, I’ll warn you, I suffer from Verbal Regurgitation.  My former students will attest to that.  Plus, you never know what words might come out in the “Spew.”  I am known to use some colorful language.

What am I going to write about?  Well, the name of the page is Towards Your Better Life, so subjects will cover anything that I might come up with to help us better our lives.  Notice that I said US, yep, I’m looking to better my life too.  Emotions, career planning, personal finance, and dealing with the stuff that life throws at everybody, will all be fair game.

So, if I haven’t scared you off already, or bored you to death, come along on this adventure.  I hope to not only provide some good info, but also some entertainment, too.  In addition to my blogging, I plan to have some guest bloggers, too.  I know some interesting people, with interesting stories.

Oh yeah!!!  Feel free to comment, tell me stuff you want to know about, share your stories, or tell me that I’m full of it.  Of course, I’ll have to figure out how to allow you to do so, first.  If you’re with me in the beginning, you’ll be able to see this site morph into something, I hope to be, great.

Until next time, Peace!!!
