    "I'm free, I'm free, I'm free." What joy and compassion! And gratitude! I believe that gratitude is the key, gratitude for waking up to a new day, gratitude for being able to listen and learn from everyone we meet. To forgive ourselves as well as each other. Mr Cleveland is a man who knows all of this in his heart and soul. What a lovely and inspiring man.

    True forgiveness and love. What turning the other cheek really means. A true master here.

    Be non- judgemental....whatever someone else thinks ( about you or whatever) is none of your business. Let them be, think good thoughts about them and as Ray says" they'll probably be glad they know you". A very wise man Ray is:)

  • Watch "Everything is a Present," an interview with Alice Herz Sommer, who at 108, attributes her survival of the concentration camps and cancer to her music, optimism and gratitude.
  • Ray attributes his health and well-being to counting his blessings every day. In this article, Dr. Robert Emmons, the world's leading scientific expert on gratitude, tells us "Why Gratitude is Good."
  • "You can learn a lot from a human, even though he don't know he's teaching you. But at the same time, if you listen, you'll learn something of value" ~ Raymond Cleveland.  Listen deeply to a human being today.
