I read your posts all the time, but have never commented. I just wanted to take the time to stop and tell you how much one reader appreciates your words. It seems most people only want to comment to point out how they disagree, but every once in a while we should just stop to say “Thanks!”.

From Anthony: I really enjoy your work. It influences me. I have one question for you….. what got you into this field?
Dear Anthony, I wrote most of my books which appear on this site as a way of dealing with problems in my life and to try to find a way to solve them and ease the pain I felt at times. For example, when my brother was dying, I started writing my book LifeLines (see Find Hope section on this site) to deal all that I was feeling in losing him and to find some comfort. In writing Make Beliefs (see Let’s Make Believe! section) I was trying to find a way to deal with my sister’s sickness, and I started imagining what it would be like to live in a better, different world. But some of my work is also based on joy, too. I wrote my book DOGMAS: Simple Truth From a Wise Pet (see Animal Wisdom section) just because I loved my dog, Dynamite, and she made me so happy and taught me so much.
In all the work I do, I believe in the power of using our imaginations to think more creatively and help free our spirit.
I hope this answers your question and it’s not too long-winded. What are the things that give you hope?
