PS: This is what Sam Beard says about himself and this GIFT thing on this newly revised web page:
The mission of GIFT is to be a major player helping to create a tidal wave expanding mindfulness and meditation around the world. My personal experience showed me how the underutilized powers of our minds can help each of us reach our higher selves and make a better world. Looking back at my life's work over the past half century, I see it all as a training ground. What I've learned is that intuitively I find ideas in their early stages. I'm an action guy. With a BIG IDEA and a mission, I inspire and motivate a team. Put me in a mud puddle. After a period of time, the chances are good that I'll have a major impact and change thousands of lives."
I hope to remain mentally and physically active for the next 25 years, and make a global difference. Sam Beard
