Happy New Year, my friends! Having a great journey! Wish you were here. Of course, you are on your own journey. How has it been?
My journey has been an amazing, soul stirring-deep-down-in-the-gut-reaching adventure. Sometimes people suggest that being paralyzed must have been a really tough challenge – and it was. Then I wonder where they have been paralyzed and maybe didn't even know it.
How about you? Do you feel paralyzed in some way that is keeping you from moving to your next level of accomplishment? Don't let 2005 end with you in the same place as you are at the moment. Embrace this year and what it has to offer. What is stopping you from moving forward right now? That is paralysis, and it can be overcome.
Decide this instant on something you have always wanted to do. What is it?

Help me welcome a new addition to my family, Sara, a special toy poodle. She is a “dumpster doggie.” A few months ago, Sara had been run over and severely injured. I was told that she was tossed in a dumpster because the owner could not afford to help her recover (does that sound familiar?)
Instead, someone basically left her at an emergency clinic where caring hands and healing hearts restored her. I saw her listed for adoption on the Internet. They said she had been severely injured, that she had healed but wasn’t perfect because she walked with a limp.
Coastal rain fell heavy and gray as I limped to my car and drove to meet the dog. She was perfect. A good shampoo and cut and she’d look great! She looked me over as if to ask, “Did they throw you in a dumpster, too?” Then, slowly she wagged her tail to tell me that I belonged to her and please take her home so she could start taking care of me.
I filled out the necessary papers and went home to wait for the process to be completed. In a few days, Sara, an adorable toy poodle came home to me. Because we both limp, neither of us can outrun the other, and that tiny little thing does take care of me – more than I do her.
Growing up with poodles, I loved the unconditional love of one of those little balls of fluff gave. Sara is not only loveable, but also great physical therapy for me, too. She forces me to get out there and walk. Those days when I am tired and just don’t want to move, those times I might not push myself, she still demands our walk. I have to go - at least once around the block – just to keep her happy. I’ve noticed lately that one block has turned into several blocks. And I’m doing much better.
They said they tossed her in the dumpster. I know the feeling. I am so glad someone got her out and healed her and I am so glad someone got me out and healed me. Thanks for walking with me on my journey. Now maybe I can be your companion and encourage you to – exercise and heal – and help someone else along their journey.
On Jan. 23, join me as I'll be speaking at the Bethany Lutheran Church in Long Beach, Calif., at 9:30 a.m.
So any of you in the Los Angeles area, I'd love to see you.
