 A Letter From Detroit 

 My friend, at 82 years old, I've walked through enough seasons of life to recognize the patterns that separate those who thrive from those who merely survive. I've been blessed to wear many hats—mathematician, Air Force officer, educator, father, husband for 58 beautiful years, (until my wonderful wife's passing in 2021), and now grandfather (of 9 awesome young men) sharing 3X weekly meditations with thousands seeking wisdom for their journey. What you'll be gaining access to isn't just another self-help guide. It's a distillation of eight decades of living, learning, and loving—the hard-won insights that have emerged from raising children, building relationships, facing challenges, and discovering that true success isn't measured in dollars, but in the depth of our character and the love we leave behind. I've learned that life's most profound truths are often simple, but applying them consistently—that's where the magic happens. These seven principles have been my compass through every season, and I'm honored to share them with you for free. Whether you're 25 or 75, struggling with purpose or seeking deeper meaning, these principles will meet you exactly where you are and guide you toward the life you were meant to live. Let's walk this wisdom path together.

With love and respect,

Detroit
