I was born in Texas and raised up in California. At this time I’m 72 years old and I have three grown kids. Coming up my parents taught me the difference between right and wrong. I also started to learn what other people believed was right and wrong and were kind enough to share their thinking of what I should know to give me an edge going through elementary school. My mother noticed that I was starting to show and share my new bad habits. We moved thinking that would solve the problem. The rest of the time all through school, even after I graduated at 14 from high school, I became a pioneer, working here and there, not knowing for sure what I wanted. But what I did know was once I made up my mind to do it, it was a done deal.

Most of the time it seemed like I was always trying to make someone else happy. During my 20’s and 30’s I was like a run-away roller coaster. Not being too concerned where it was going to end. I woke up feeling lonely, lost, not knowing who to blame. I just knew things were not going the way I wanted.

In my 40’s and early 50’s I knew a change needed to occur. I knew that I had been in enough storms and that storms make a sailor strong. I understood that no one needs another person’s validation to feel whole. Today I refuse to live inside the past. The past shapes you but does not dictate who you are. There is never a reason to delay something that is clear. I found that truth does not fix damage, but it ends denial. Then it happened, a change that I’m here to share with anyone that has a desire to change their way of thinking, needs hope, or courage. I’m a bridge to a new beginning. I’m one of the people that can tell and show that change is possible. Join me. I don’t have a new trick or game to show, Iwill show there is always hope. Change is available.
