About Me
Hi, and welcome to LightingYourFire.com.
I’m Andrew. From years of self-directed study and creating blogs I’ve become aware that my life is always in a constant state of change for better or sometimes worse.
While I’ve maintained involvement in Hospitality – previously hands on and now supervision and training – I have been moved to explore different experiences.
These adventures have meant learning new things. I’ve come to realize our lives are a chains of events linked by mindsets we are inhabiting in the present. Each link creates a learning opportunity for us to acknowledge what our highest value is at the time and to move forward from there.
This site was created to discuss topics like Values & Motivation. It will contain conversation and analysis on how values impact our lives and how we can use them to create a more fulfilled life. It’ll also provide tools, products, and reviews of books and educational programs I’ve completed.
Be sure to check back soon!

Lighting Your Fire: The Journal
It’s amazing the ideas that come to you in the middle of winter sitting by the fire and meditating. First the notion that life is like a fire. Collecting the wood. Setting the fire. Lighting it and stoking it. Then later stirring the ashes looking for embers to get the fire started again.
It seemed it paralleled life passages. When we’re looking for something new we collect information, get it set in our minds then use it in the physical world (setting and stoking the fire.
As if that wasn’t a great insight it then seemed I could build a journal around to give shape to the day as each day in itself is a fire to set and maintain.
