Homea new beginning awaits your life...Jan 11, 2005

Welcome to my resource site called "NeoAlpha" - which simply means "a new beginning." For more than five years, I have been posting materials here that are meant to provide individual readers, like you, an inspired moment, a paradigm shift, an emotional reassessment, a rebirth. In short, your very own "NeoAlpha."

The stories, articles, poems, songs, videos, and other posts can also be used as materials or teaching aids for your classroom instructions, training, workshops, or simple group gatherings so you, too, could be an instrument of inspiration to others.

Some of the entries that are placed here contain as well my experiences in the helping profession.
