  Quinton's Messages & Quinton's Legacy

  Sept 2011 - now

  Author

  Quinton’s Messages – an out of balance property manager had great successes in his job but didn’t have anything left for those who mattered most. Becoming desperate for relief from this state of mind and looking for greater purpose to his life, he put it into the universe that he was looking for a sign. Within weeks his son Quinton died in an unusual accident and his life changed forever. Quinton’s Messages chronicles my journey from putting my job first back to putting my family first. The aha moments began before the accident and then came fast and furious after Quinton’s transition, all of which provided me a greater sense of where I fit in the grand scheme of things and purpose for my life. Quinton’s Messages speaks to work-life balance, what happens to our deceased loved ones, people are good, overcoming tragedy, making a difference in the lives of others and most importantly, Love.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WqsgnOEoIU Show less
