A Ride for 3 Reason with Bob Lee

Bob Lee, a 65-year-old colon cancer survivor from Barrington, Illinois rode his bicycle 6,500 miles across America in order to help find cures for cancer and ALS, and to help promote awareness for hospice care.

The Ride for Three Reasons journey began March 29, 2007 in Jacksonville, Florida and ended on September 6 in Bangor, Maine.

Bob accepted the challenge to raise awareness for the challenges faced by Cancer patients, ALS victims and families faced with end-of-life issues.

Through the generous support of over 1,500 individuals and corporations, A RIDE FOR 3 REASONS was proud to send checks on 12-28-07 to each of the following charities in the amount of $130,650.00 - American Cancer Society, The National Hospice Foundation and The Les Turner ALS Foundation. .

Upcoming Interview with the author of Crossing the Creek

I love hospice philosophy.

Over 30 years in health care services and I can honestly say I am happier today than in any job I have ever held. For those that are wondering where the job of motherhood and being a wife fit into this scenario - those two titles are not jobs. They are privileges.

I will be interviewing Michael Holmes, author of "Crossing the Creek" on February 6th, 2008 at 11 a.m. (EST) on the North Georgia Community Resources show. His works have re-inspired me. The insight I have gained from reading his books and other writings is opening new thought passages.

At first, I thought I would be intimidated by his depth of knowledge and experience beyond what I have in my background. Ironically, this is not the case. I am just more aware of my ability to expand beyond what is comfortable and grasp new knowledge.

This is fun to know. It means I am not too old to learn and that’s really good news.

I encourage you to join the show but be aware that this topic will not be suitable for all audiences. We will talk about dying but perhaps in a way you have not heard. Sometimes the light shines much brighter once you no longer fear the darkness. Perhaps the only way to release the fear is to embrace it, examine it, then delight in knowing its power is revoked through the act of witnessing it. Once we understand our fear we might be able to make room in our heart for a surprising perspective.

Please visit Michael's site for more information about his books.

"It is quite impossible to understand dying process without first understanding that death does not end life." - Michael Holmes, Author: Crossing The Creek et al.

This year you will write THE BOOK

I feel the new year bringing all sorts of resolutions out of the closet.

There seems to be more of us expressly refusing to prepare resolutions and taking every day to improve in some way. I like this approach.

I think it is important to reflect on accomplishments and feel the confidence and pride that has sprouted from our victories.

Recently, I held a hospice conference call that was extremely edifying for my hospice soul.

I do have a few secret wishes but none of them can be called resolutions. There things that matter more now that I am older. I actually prefer quiet evenings with loved ones over hopes of a great night out on the town.

The one thing I would like to see this year is more people writing their story for their kids and grandkids. Maybe I can advocate for this on the RAK Club.

With that intention, I hope to find a way this year to encourage everyone to write from the heart and experience their soul.
