The Weather's Fine: My Method for Navigating Life's Challenges

by Arch Kennedy, Rusty Humphries (Foreword by)

Overview

There's Always a Ray of Light in the Darkest Storms

Life's challenges can seem lonely, insurmountable, and full of despair, and learning from the challenges and mistakes of others is one of the best ways to successfully emerge from them.

Author and speaker, Arch Kennedy, has had his proverbial droughts, floods, hurricanes, and earthquakes throughout his life:

Riding his rollercoaster career as a television meteorologist

Caring for his mother who had a debilitating disease

Battling the addiction of alcoholism

Discovering and accepting his sexuality as a gay man

Emerging from political apathy into activism

Finding his way back to his spiritual faith

More than self-help techniques, the map that he used to navigate through all of these experiences is a proven set of principles that has strengthened his resilience and helps guide his daily life. His dramatic stories reveal the power of God's unfailing love and the resilience of the human spirit, and he shares them with you.

About the Author

Arch comes from a family of broadcasters, so it is no surprise that he ended up working for 17 years as a broadcast meteorologist. After receiving a Bachelor of Science in meteorology and a minor in mathematics from Florida State University, he began his career in Macon, Georgia, "paying his dues" in the industry.Later, Arch was able to make the jump to the Atlanta market, where he enjoyed eight years working at several local affiliates, WXIA and WSB, and on networks such as The Weather Channel, CNN, and Headline News forecasting the weather for millions. His career then took him to WFTV in Orlando, Florida and finally to a chief job in Nashville, Tennessee, at WZTV.A shift in his life occurred when he came back home to take care of his mother in her last three years of life. After his mother's passing, he has continued to apply his experience as a recovering alcoholic doing two years of heavy research on the addicted brain. His goal is now to speak and train others on overcoming their challenges and achieving a meaningful life filled with purpose.
