Everyday I am alive, I am inspired to live!

 

There are no limits to what you can do and who you can be…

 

Are you ready for help?  Are you on that Ferris Wheel of life and have no clue on how to stop?  Are you willing to let go of the past and be happy in today?

Some of the most difficult things that we have experienced can change our lives in drastic ways.

My daughter is a cancer survivor.  During her cancer battle I lost my mother to cancer.  Years later I lost my grandmother to cancer and my father is a cancer survivor.  Losing my  first two grandchildren was a pain I was not sure I could  make it through.  My children losing a child was unbearable.

I have been clean and sober since April 1, 1987.  I can help you overcome your addictions and how to live life on life’s terms. 

Have you been through divorce and failed relationships?  Have you learned how to take care of you and change the way you need to?  I have, I can help.  

Domestic violence is something that people quietly live through for years until they break through the pain.  I did, so can you.

I have made mistakes as a parent and have made mistakes as a human being.  Everyone does.  I am however one of the lucky ones.  I try not to make the same one twice, we all can do this.

If I can help prevent someone from making the mistakes I have, I am blessed.  If I can help someone dealing with addiction, domestic violence, a family member’s cancer and many other of life’s lesson’s;  then I am successful.

Sometimes there are those of us who have to go through it all to be an example to others.  Maybe we are the one’s who God knows can handle it and make it through anything.

Sometimes it is difficult to have the strength to get through the impossible but any of us can do it.  I can help you find that strength.

CODY

St. Charles has lost an ambassador.

He was not Political.

He never harmed a soul.

He gave his heart fully as no ambassador ever has, now or in the future.

Women were attracted to him, who could blame them… and if you pardon me for saying this, he was cute, cuddly and had a smile that attracted men and women alike.

Never a scandal, never a lie.

I, for one, admired his restraint when it came to conflict. He choose his fights carefully, and when he did fight, it was with boldness and courage.Image 

I knew of him, and never had the pleasure of being with him on his many journeys to Main Street or on his cross country expeditions. No, I only knew him from post and pictures and from the many stories that now will be legend.    

Cody, we will miss you.
