Faith

I am driven by my faith. I believe that when good things happen we should be grateful. Those who just give to get do not understand the power of charity and philanthropy

Old Shoes

I've seen it all... In this business you've either seen first hand or someone has spilled the beans. One thing I've learned that has always been true "You can measure the value of a man by the condition of his shoes" Drop by B&N #naples this morning for the local author event. http://bit.ly/bn1013 Click to hear my story http://bit.ly/acoutloud

Toronto, Canada

I have received a lot of phone calls lately about my new book trailer , which seems to be generating a lot of interest. For some reason though, people are asking me a lot of questions about Toronto, Canada. I'm not really sure what that's all about so I did some research. Here's a link to some of the information that I found out. The Five Families of New York

Keeping Secrets

When I was growing up, my older brothers were already knee deep in the family business. I didn't know too much about it. All I knew is that there was always people coming and going and some of them seemed really important. It wasn't until I started working in the business myself until I realized how important my father's favorite phrase was. "Keep your mouth shut, your ears open and your eyes on the sauce! "

iPhone 5

One of my cousins called me the other day to ask me about the book project. We got to chatting about this and that, and he mentioned something about an iPhone. I guess there is a new phone coming out and he thinks it will help me promote the book. I have to admit, I played along but honestly, I don't know what the hell he was talking about. Then he starts telling me about this game he's addicted to. Something about an alligator and watergates? I thought to myself, that's just what this country needs right now... Another game about water gates.

The Fountain

There is a place in every village where people used to go, a place of hope and dreams. It was the source of their family's lifeline. They would go there to fill up there buckets with water so they could cook and clean and drink, Now these fountains represent something different. They are a place where we go to make a silent wish, and hope upon a dream. Of course, we all must pay our dues so we deposit a small token of our loyalty and wait for something special to happen.

The Foundation

It takes a long time to build a house, especially if you want to do it right. Most people will rush the builder along to get a roof over their head. You can't put up the roof until you have a strong foundation though. First you dig the hole, then you pour the cement! Sometimes when you dig the hole you find something in the ground that you didn't expected to come across. This can slow the whole thing down. Like I said, it takes a long time to build a house.
