The above photo shows a baby bird I recently rescued on May 16th. It had fallen from its nest (a fall of 20 feet), and so I took it home. On the way, the Paul Simon song "Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard" played, so I named it Julio. It likes to nuzzle on my neck, and Julio seems to be in good spirits and great health... with a wonderful appetite too.
As Tom Hanks said in "Castaway," "You never know what the tide will bring."
That seems to capture the essence of the blessing Julio has become.
Its feathers are filling in fine so I hope Julio is able to fly soon. :-)

I'm honored to announce the release of my new 15-song 70-minute music CD titled "Renegade Recordings" that takes you traveling on ramped sonic journey of passion and bliss starting on New Year's Eve of 2011 and into percussive rebirth in 2012. It's available on iTunes, Spotify, Google Music, and is printed on demand as a CD at Amazon. Listen in to it at my TuneCore Artist Page or at music.PassionHero.com

One of my clients published her first eBook at DetouringADream.com which encourages us to never give up on Love if you're a romantic at heart.
Being a Passion Hero requires belief in Hope, Honor, Integrity, Truth, Respect, and Love. These are all fine traits a Passion Hero exudes with humble compassion and confidence with a "show, don't tell" mindset.
The mythical journey of the hero is one which requires a growing belief in oneself through tenacity, perseverance and quest towards a Noble Purpose. It is seeded in the knowledge that there is no testimony without a test; yet, it also amounts to paying dues and doing humility work so that when you are ready to manifest your destiny, it comes to you as the universe deems proper.
Knowing that you need to put good karma into the world for success to come your way, this journey is one that ultimately places peace of mind in the depth of your soul for your spirit to soar with passion, verve, faith, hope, and grace.
Being an inspiration often takes treating everyone you meet as you would treat yourself, showing patience, providing respect, and acting courteous with an air of gratitude which leads by example. It means valuing each person and taking responsibility for our actions so we exceed expectations with positive results for one and all. If a win-win scenario is not available, a passion hero tries to acknowledge their mistakes to become better each and every day so that everyone walks away as a winner who wants to champion true honor.
If everyone pursued Excellence, we'd all live in an Excellent world.
There's nothing a good day of being a Passion Hero won't cure.
Go out and be a Passion Hero... at times, use words.
Give thanks for the ability to Believe to Achieve.
Infinite is the entertainment value of Destiny.
Offer it up to the Lord... He loves you.
Make today a Good Day.
Take the time to care.
God Bless You!
The following photo was taken at the Frank Lloyd Wright Affleck House in Bloomfield Hills, MI, and it is owned by Lawrence Technological University where I got my bachelor's degree. They invited me to become a docent being that I'm a huge FLW fan, and it's an honor share this design gem with others who wish to witness Mr. Wright's architectural genius.
