How Helping Others Led to My Own Healing

I’ve been very lucky in choosing work that I love. My careers include; managing health clubs, professional ski patroller, river guide, fundraiser and public relations executive, being on the board of directors and volunteering for nonprofit organizations, conducting spiritual healing, and authoring three inspirational, self-help books. I’ve had other employment but the above mentioned posts are jobs that I love. That love has been returned to me repeatedly, sometimes in unexpected ways.

The common thread in these seemingly diverse occupations has been the reward of helping others. It includes assisting people; to get in shape, helping them when they are hurt, sharing the joy of nature and the outdoors, funding research and publicizing the nonprofits, and just plain helping people. This inspires me to look for ways to help people even more. Writing and creating books has given me the greatest fulfillment of these desires. One reason is that the vast majority of people I may have helped through my writing I will never meet.
