Hello all, thanks for having me. I am 56 years old and still learning every day. Everyone has a tragic story and it changes you, and it seems once you move on from that something new happens. What I have learned to do is keep my eyes open and look for opportunities.I may have missed during the first, bad experience. I would really like to thank Steve Sweeney, although I disagree on the reason what I went through that introduced me to Steve was a true blessing in disguise because I learned so much more. God has a plan, you just learned not to question it
