As I looked for ways to do what many had asked for, I soon knew that the task was too big for me alone. Along the way, I found people with unique skills to bring to fulfillment what was taking shape in my mind. A team began to emerge with special talents. A person with a degree in marketing, a person with creative skills in building web pages, a highly experienced video production company, a talented host for the video, and a person with banking experience all crossed my path and understood the mission I was undertaking. Along with their understanding and professional expertise, this team also began to say what I had heard before. This material needs to be available to more people. Our first venture was producing the video, The Forest Will Find You, to help people experiencing grief due to losing someone in death. In thinking of ways to market this video that would also be suitable to share new productions over time, we decided that a company should be formed. I knew that more than a flashy or glamorous title, we needed a name that would convey an idea of who we are and what we do. I knew that we wanted to offer resources that help people cope with life, not just products. Years of experience in helping people who were going through difficult times had taught me that sometimes people can face their problem better if they look at it differently. This lead to the concept of a person's vantage point about life. Thus, the name Vantage Point Resources seemed to express what we hoped to provide. We hope the resources you find here will help you to find a new vantage point in your life. |

For
several years, people who heard me speak have commented that they
would like to have access to some of the stories and ideas that
I use when lecturing, counseling, or teaching about experiences
in daily life. While I felt complimented by their statements, it
took a while to realize that this was more than just an occasional
expression by a few people. As the requests continued, I began to
sense that while I do not claim to have any secrets or formulas
to make life easy, maybe what I had done was to put some old ideas
together in new ways that could help people through difficult times.
