The Strategy Consultant

"I'm in my power.  I don't give it away.  I stay in my power by being grateful for the gifts in my life.  Strength is believing you have enough power.

You're up and you're down.  You've got this.

You're a survivor on a scale not too many people could understand.  Never forget how far you've come.  Never forget we're all on this planet to thrive.  Never forget you're enough."

"Listen you've got to follow the River."  

Good Man Dying CD's,Various Artists Works, Guitars, and Sound Advice.

Forever a singer/songerwriter musician

"I was a  janitor at the Ocean Beach Elementary School and then a San Diego Fireman.  I was a grant writer in New Mexico and then the Mayor of Cloudcroft,  New Mexico.  I had  a store called the Sleepyeyed Trading Co. There's a Michael Nivison Public Library, Cloudcroft, New Mexico."

"I always treated people nice/trying to get people out of a pickle.  All somebody needs is a little encouragement.  I was given discipline and passed it on.  I mentored a kid.  I gave him time,  a  job, and a truck for Christmas.   He has a family of his own now.  He built his own log cabin.  I'm still mentoring him.  You're where your at.  Every time you open the door,  it's a different world.  You have an expectation of what and how you look at it.  You just believe it.  Nobody influenced me about anything.  What do you know?  You're given a life...my goodness, celebrate it."-Michael Nivison 12/22/23
