When I engage with others, I listen to their stories. They tell me about experiences I’ll never have. I listen to opinions that never entered my mind. I listen to stories of love, tragedies, and dreams broken or made. When we take the time to listen to another’s stories, we learn, new ideas come to mind, and we acquire a deep compassion for a person whose journey was far different from ours.

I am an optimistic, can do, and never quit guy. The spirit of hope indelibly marks my DNA. My research at The Ohio State University helped people discover the best in themselves and change their personal lives, public organizations, and whole communities. I bring the same spirit and enthusiasm to my blog to help those who grieve who find themselves suddenly alone, navigate their grieving. Join my more than 24,300Twitter (@alwaysgoodstuff).
