Introduction

Welcome to my blog. Thanks for coming by!

Hi, I'm Gary Rollins.  For the past 40 years I have been helping people through ministry, psychotherapy, business consulting, seminars, speeches, groups, intensive weekends, spiritual mentoring, coaching, and generally guiding people through all sorts of challenges.

But this blog is about me--my thoughts, my issues, my life--though I certainly hope there is something for you to gain here and I'd love for you to join me on this journey. 

For the next several weeks I will be sharing some very personal reflections as I deal with some significant issues (to me) like serious financial struggle, depression, stress, overwhelm, and recently diagnosed ADD.  I will not be sugar coating the issues nor trying to show you how much I know or how smart I am--though I can't help but teach--it's a part of who I am. Neither will I be putting on my martyring hat and trying to get you to feel sorry for me.  I will simply be "making the private public" as thousands of people have heard me preach for most of the last 40 years of teaching.

Have you ever wondered what goes on inside the head of a psychotherapist, teacher, minister, or spiritual teacher?  If so, then stay tuned--I'll be as honest as I can be.  I'd like to say that I'll keep these blog posts short and to the point like the experts suggest.  However, knowing me, they'll probably tend to be lengthier than necessary.  You'll probably also see how my mind can ramble on--though again, I'll so my best to stay on topic.  I now realize these are aspects of ADD and I am learning to embrace some of my limitations.

You'll quickly see that I am neither a polished nor professional writer. I do hope you'll also see a real human being, with real issues as well as strengths, and one who is passionately committed to growth and transformation in myself as well as the people who trust me and count on me for guidance.

Thanks for joining me--I hope you find some value here.

Gary
