“Each morning that I wake up something in my life has changed, me!” King Solomon Hearn
On August 12, 2010 I will move to long Beach California after living in Japan for almost 5 years. There is so much change happening in my life right now with preparing to move and my eventual move I decided to focus the theme of our inspirational quotes community for the month of July on change. Of course change is something that I experience each and every precious moment of my life whether I choose to be aware of it or not.
In many ways my life can be summarized as a series of moves from one place to another. It is my intention someday when I come to the end of my journey in this life that my epitaph will read, he helped or inspired people create positive change in their lives!
