We believe that one of the main reasons we have reaped success is because we have sown generosity. We both feel that it is important to give our time and donate money to others. The age-old statement rings true: It is in giving that we receive. Tom serves on the board of directors for Freedom's Door, which operates Christian recovery homes for addicted men in Kelowna (www.freedomsdoorkelowna.com), and is the Executive Director for the Felson Foundation, a Christian organization that desires to help the less fortunate around the world. Renée serves on the secretariat for the Kelowna Cursillo Movement, a church organization, and enjoys cooking for her friends with newborn babies. This work is a truly rewarding experience for us and brings joy to our lives. We have learned that when you give, your hand is open to receive.

We also find joy in our faith in God. We both meet weekly with our Christian friends to discuss our faith journey - another important goal. We recently started reading a devotional together before going to work. We still have some faith goals on which we need to work. However, we are further ahead than we would have been had we not set goals.

Turbulence

In pursuit of our financial goals, we found ourselves working more and more. Before we knew it, we were no longer reading our LifePilot manuals weekly. Naturally, we hit some turbulence and got off course. As a result, some of our goals did not receive the attention they deserved.
