JUST FOR TODAY I will try to live through this day only

and not tackle my whole life problem at once.I can do something for twelve hours that

would appall me if I felt that I had to keep it up for a lifetime.

JUST FOR TODAY I will be happy.

This assumes to be true what Abraham Lincoln said,

that, most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be.

JUST FOR TODAY I will adjust myself to what is,

and not try to adjust everything to my own desires.

I will take my luck as it comes and fit myself to it.

JUST FOR TODAY I will try to strengthen my mind.

I will study. I will not be a mental loafer. I will read something that requires

mental effort and concentration.JUST FOR TODAY

I will exercise my soul in three ways.I will do somebody a good turn and not get

found out.If anybody knows of it, it will not count.

I will do at least two things I do not want to do - just for exercise.

I will not show anyone that my feelings are hurt;

they may be hurt, but today I will not show it.

JUST FOR TODAYI will be agreeable,

will look as well as I can, dress becomingly, talk low,

act courteously, criticize not one bit, not find fault with anything

and not try to improve or regulate anybody except myself.

JUST FOR TODAY I will have a program -

I may not be able to follow it exactly, but I will have it.

I will save myself from two pests: hurry and indecision.

JUST FOR TODAY I will have a quiet half hour

all to myself and relax.During this half hour, sometime,

I will try to get a better perspective of my life.

JUST FOR TODAY I will be unafraid,

especially I will not be afraid to enjoy what is beautiful,

and to believe that as I give to the world, so the world gives to me.

The ArtistRichard’s parents gave him a Kodak Brownie camera at age 6 – a camera which he still has… and still works – and Richard was hooked on photography. “I was born to the business. My father was a commercial photographer and I was helping in the dark room from the time I was six.” Richard’s parents gave him his first SLR when he entered high school in order for him to produce images for the school newspaper and the yearbook.

Richard attended Western Illinois University, as well as Northeastern Illinois University, where he graduated with a degree in Business Administration. Even though Richard was pursuing a degree in business - accounting, economics, and marketing, to be exact – his love for photography continued to grow.

In 1982, Richard opened Precious Moments Studio in Round Lake, Illinois. During the years Richard owned Precious Moments Photography, he met thousands of great people from all walks of life. Richard states, “… I photographed more than 700 weddings, as well as pre-schools, a National Beauty Contest, and Seniors – I loved every minute of it because of the people I met and was able to do business with.” In 1986, Richard transplanted studio and himself to Southern California; eventually settling in Oxnard, California where he continued to take on wedding and portrait work until 1991.

In 2007, Richard started his second photography business - SunRidge Photo. A connection developed through Richard’s involvement in Toastmasters International, resulted in being commissioned to provide the photographic imagery for two books

Whether coaching, teaching, or capturing the moment with his camera, Richard enjoys helping others find their value and live their dreams. His purpose for living… YOUR SUCCESS!

Richard presently resides in Oxnard, CA.
