Our friends call us the Mike & Mollie team – Yes, like the TV show.
We are a blended family with Mike’s two children, Jeremy and Charmian, and their respective families, as well as Mollie’s Son, Ryan, and his family. As of this writing, we have eight grandchildren and one great-grandson between us! Our kids and grandkids are scattered all over, from Dallas to Denver to Tucson to Germany!
We look forward to many trips to visit them all!
We are both retired from our corporate jobs. We have each written a book. Well, Mike’s is an actual non-fiction book, and Mollie’s is a Journal, so I guess you can say we are now two authors.
One of our dreams has always been to work together, and now we are! Many paths have led us to Spirit*Health*Wealth, and we are making it a reality.
We met in 1996 and married in 1997, and we look forward to spending the rest of our lives together happily, healthfully, independently, and without being a burden on our children. This quest has led us to create Spirit*Health*Wealth to help others on the same path, share what we have learned, and learn from others on similar paths.
We have both lost our parents, and those losses were not only full of heartache but challenging to work through, as neither of them had been able to plan and save well for their golden years. We made up our minds that we would plan and organize our lives so that our children would never have to go through what we did when our parents passed.
I am sort of obsessed with details! At least that is what Mollie tells me. 😊
I love reading and studying all sorts of topics, but most recently I have been working on myself – physically and mentally, on this venture to leave a legacy for my family.
So, as you see from my posts and from our “purpose,” it is important to me to keep myself healthy so I can give Mollie her (required) “30 more years”! Yes, it rolls forward each year.
At 72, I believe I am in pretty good shape, and I am working to improve my fitness so I can keep up with all our grandchildren – 8 so far and 1 Great-Grandson!
I am also an author, having written and published my first book in 2017: “The Simple Little Rule. The Golden Rule Rediscovered.” I am currently working on a “workbook/journal” to accompany that book and a second edition, too.
I work diligently at whatever I pursue and will work hard for others as we journey together to optimum health and wellness.
I have been truly blessed my entire life. In my younger years, I did not always have abundance, of which I was aware; however, I know now that God was guiding me.
Many of the practices that I share with others, through writing or speaking, are ones that have worked for me over the years. I have discovered that I do not learn well by video or audio – I learn better by writing things down by hand. I have learned that handwriting and drawing pictures make an indelible imprint in our brain, and I firmly believe that God intended for me to write things down and follow processes that reminded me of his love and Grace.
Although I never really kept a “journal” to speak of, whenever I felt down or lacking, I would turn back to one of the exercises I had learned over the years, which is to write things down. This has led me to my Journal creating.
I look forward to creating many more tools to help others.
