ABOUT ME

 

 

OVER THE YEARS, LIFE HAS HAPPENED TO ME AS IT DOES TO EVERYONE ELSE, BUT MY RESPONSE WAS ALWAYS ONE OF HOPE AND GRATITUDE.  WHILE I DID NOT UNDERSTAND AT TIMES WHY PEOPLE GRAVITATED TO ME, I BELIEVE I GET IT NOW.  IT’S COMFORTING AND HELPFUL TO KNOW THAT WE ARE NOT UNIQUE IN LIFE’S EXPERIENCES AND IT DOES NOT HAVE TO TAKE YOU OUT.  ROUGH PATCHES IN THIS LIFE ARE ALMOST GUARANTEED; MOSTLY UNAVOIDABLE.  HOWEVER, IN ALL INSTANCES WE CAN CHANGE OUR RESPONSE TO THINGS.  IN MY LIFE, I HAVE ALWAYS SEEN THE GLASS HALF FULL.  

 

IN THE FACE OF PAINFUL LOSS AND DISAPPOINTMENT, I CHOOSE TO BE GRATEFUL FOR THE JOURNEY AND FOR WHAT I HAVE LEFT. THERE ARE  GOOD TIMES AND BAD TIMES, EACH HOLDS WISDOM AND MAKES US MORE RESILIENT.  THIS ATTITUDE IS REFRESHING AND INSPIRING FOR MANY AND THEY WANT TO KNOW MORE; THEY WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS INVOLVED IN FINDING A WAY OUT OF WHAT IS GIVING THEM A HARD WAY.   IT HAS BEEN MY PRIVILEGE TO HELP IN ANY WAY I CAN.

 

I HAVE LIVED AND LEARNED MUCH. WHEN I WAS IN NEED OF INFORMATION, I REACHED OUT AND GOT IT.   LIFE HAS TAUGHT ME A GREAT DEAL; EXPERIENCE IS A GREAT TEACHER.    I NOW WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU SO THAT I CAN SHARE WITH YOU FOR OUR MUTUAL BENEFIT; YOUR GROWTH AND MINE. 

 

I ALSO WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS ON YOUR MIND.  LET’S HAVE A HEART TO HEART DIALOGUE ABOUT LIFE  SO THAT WE CAN SUPPORT EACH OTHER TO LIVE OUR BEST BLESSED LIFE.  TOGETHER WE CAN EXPLORE ISSUES OF CONCERN AND BRING UNDERSTANDING AND ADD DEPTH, JOY, AND APPRECIATION FOR THE PRIVILEGE OF LIVING.
