A tribute to Bill Boal: Reframe your fear
Bill Boal
Editor’s Note: MKP elder Bill Boal of New York City has died at age 80. In his honor, we reprint below the article he contributed to the September 2009 edition of the Journal, based on his latest ebook, Getting Free From Fear.
Bill was always creating new ideas. For instance, he’d begun visiting senior and assisted living homes in NY to conduct “sharing circles” among the residents. Last November he attended the World Elder Gathering in London where he promoted “Elders mentoring Seniors,” gaining commitments from a dozen men to implement the program in their communities.
Compassion and truth saves a relationship
by Alan Huyshe
A relationship that had gone stale and distant suddenly changed one day. She said she’d met another man, had been seeing him for more than a month, and she was in love.
I used the new-found courage and “warrior energy” that I had found in myself. I called her to face me and talk about this in person, not do it over the phone. She came and we sat down to talk.
Thanks for cheating on me
by Jeffrey Wilson
By January of 1994, I had achieved my vision and had a “perfect” life – a beautiful wife, two young sons, a house in the suburbs, and I had been named to the management succession plan of the Fortune 500 company where I worked. Everything was just right.
A month later in February, I discovered my wife was having an affair. After many lengthy discussions, arguments, and begging sessions, she agreed to stop the affair and work on our marriage.
