At times in life, there are chance happenings that, when reflected upon, are revealed to be turning points - times when life changes and what we know, or what we think we know, is substantially altered. The words that follow are the simple expression of one of those times for me - a time that lasted for two years - a time of substantial spiritual growth. Message from the Mountain is inspired writing that seemingly came from nowhere and yet was the foundation for a profound Spiritual awakening - opening my eyes and others to our Life's Purpose. All is not as it seems! "Who are you?" The old woman from the mountain asked this simple question with a forceful kindness, as if summoning something that would come from deep within. Before I could answer audibly, I felt the answer that I did not wish to speak: "I do not know." I dare not say that, I thought as I tried to formulate my answer in my head. Surely I could define myself with... "That's correct. You do not know. Very good." "It's time to wake up from your mind sleep." As I heard the words ring clear from the old woman from the mountain, I felt refreshed as if I had been resting for hours. Yet, as I observed all that was around me, I came to understand that my time on the rock had been only minutes - perhaps thirty at most. The sun was moving west into mid-afternoon, and the breeze that had caressed my cheeks so gently just hours earlier began to increase in intensity as if to signal something new was blowing into my life. My 'mind sleep....' Her last words replayed again in my head. I wanted to shake my head, as her words seemed to create a sense of imbalance within me. Their meaning may not be as clear as I first hear them, I thought. "You are right," she uttered. "My words have a deeper meaning for you." Her voice came from nowhere. Not once had I spoken a word of my thoughts. "You will learn. Thoughts do not have to be spoken to have power. Your thoughts, whether spoken or not, have tremendous power. I will guide you based upon the truth of your thoughts." Message from the Mountain carries all who read on a journey of inner discovery into Awakening to Your Life's Purpose. Join me and let's take this magical journey together!

In the prime of his life, amid a soaring career, Chuck Gallagher made some poor ethical choices that landed him behind bars. In this deeply personal and compelling book, he comes clean about his life-changing experience. Although Chuck's prison was a physical one, he reveals how some of us unknowingly create our own "prisons" through the negative choices we make and how the consequences of those decisions impact happiness and success in every aspect of our lives. While most people would say they make ethical choices, it's all too clear in the corporate world the simplicity of making a wrong choice can lead to disastrous consequences. Gallagher engages the reader in a journey, through a brutally honest story, of how easy it is to stray off the ethical path and what it takes for organizations to help keep their most valued asset -- their people -- on the ethical highway. His insights provide a framework for business and personal success, helping the reader look deeply inside to find the strength to make the right choices. His book is a reminder to us all about choices we make and consequences we face -- and how we can ensure our personal and professional pursuits lead us to achieve our goals.
