If you read my blog through a direct link to my site, you’ll notice some changes.  If you read it through Facebook, you may wish to try the direct approach.  I’ve added two links to the top of the page.  One takes you to your Amazon account (if you have one) and the second takes …

My book is available on Audible.  They set the price at $19.95.  I don’t get that, but I do get a piece. It’s also available on Amazon and Apple Books.    The Apple Book price is $17.99.   Amazon is the same as Audible. When I looked it up a few minutes ago, you can get …

My audiobook is finished.  You can’t purchase it yet, but it’s somewhere out in space.  I started working on it about three months ago, and I gave my approval to the product last Monday.  It’s making its way through Amazon’s process.  They’re in total control now.  They set the release date and price but once …

Merry Christmas!  I hope you enjoy the holidays wherever you may be. I’m drafting this before I head west to be with my California kids, so I’ll keep this short. Remember…   Love, Rob, Bob, Dad, TGO

My daughter-in-law, Lindsay, attended a work-related workshop a couple of weeks ago. Each participant learned a few things about what makes them tick. Our personality guides us as we deal with the events of each day. When I arrived for the Thanksgiving holiday, we talked a bit about her results. She’s a blue/gold personality. I’m …

I’ve been invited to share my book publicly tomorrow at The Villages’ Wine and Words. I’ll be reading at the Riverbend Recreation Center starting at 6:30. I knew of the program but really didn’t know much about it. When I looked it up, this is what I read. What if there was a place where …

It’s hard to focus on the day when life throws a curve, and things look off. You stumble when you’re not sure of what’s next. If you’re lucky, you have someone to share your story. And if you’re very lucky, they can help you get back on your path. They ground you and help you …

I’ve spent the past several weeks recording an audio version of my book.  It’s a long-involved process, but I’m nearing the end.  Here’s a sample. I’ll let everyone know when it’s up and running.  You’ll have the opportunity to purchase a copy for yourself if you like.  You’ll be able to listen to my voice …

I’m recording my book, Pondering Life’s Lessons. It will be available as an audiobook on Amazon around the first of the year. I decided to record the book because I knew I’d have a lot of down time following my shoulder surgery. Recording occupies part of my time each day. I’m collaborating with an audiobook …

When I graduated from high school, I thought I might go into politics.  I even wrote about becoming a United States Senator in my thank you letter to those who gave me graduation gifts.  I’d study law, become an attorney, and somewhere down the line, I’d run for office.  I didn’t know what I’d run …
