Jonathan...

So...one day I said, "Lord I can do this in my sleep...I need a challenge". The "this" was engaged in something that I loved but allowing it to be a routine, not a joy. 

So what I realized is that we can (well I did) move along in life but not be moving forward in joy, peace, and purpose. This needed to change, and I had to connect the good, bad, and ugly in my life for my benefit and those around me. 

Now if all the chapters in our life have meaning, and THEY DO, then together they have to be connected as one to reveal the full purpose and allow others to be read by our life. Now what is necessary, is the application of discipline to KeepMovingForward and manifest ways to use the energy of our life-giving experiences, collectively, for our journey.

The KeepMovingFowad (KMF) site is designed with the purpose to share "tools" in the form of words, insights, dialogue and visuals to use as you wish - for comfort, encouragement, and affirmation. So, you and I, as a community can KeepMovingFoward.
