Turning Stones Into Gems is a personal testimony of learning how to find direction in my life and career, through a self-development process. This self-fulfillment process begins and ends with you. It starts from the inside out. I learned after nearly forty years that the void I felt in my life was due to an unfulfilled spiritual need in my career. I had to take a “running leap of faith” from the corporate world before I could see what I was missing. I did not realize how much my career directly affected my family, spiritual, and social life. Once I got off the merry-go-round of the workplace, God could get my full attention to tell me what was missing. He could tell me how I could fill the void. We spend so much of our time working or trying to find work, that very little time is left for the “real” treasures in our lives. 

I looked like a gem but felt like a stone. I didn’t know my true value was on the inside. I worked hard all my life at looking good on the outside; but the inside was empty. By sharing my story and self-development process with you, maybe I can make a difference in one life by turning a stone into a gem! That’s how I measure my success every day of my life by touching, helping, or meaning something to someone.
