My daughter, her husband and newborn baby. My daughter, Jessica, was determined to have her baby before her husband, Matt, would ship out on the cruiser Ronald Reagan. She made it! January 1, 2005 Georgia Porter was born! Her husband, Matt shipped out the next day to the Gulf. It was wonderful and very sad at the same time.

I believe in a brighter tomorrow. Invest in yoru children, they are your future. I grew up poor in a disfunctional family. I was the first one to go to college and obtain my nursing liscense. My oldest son followed in my footsteps and graduated as a Registered Nurse. He faced many challanges, But he made it. I think he studied me and my struggles to obtain a better life and he made the choice to go that route.

A Little Work Can Lead to Big Success

Screen shot 2011-06-27 at 9

The left side was taken in Aug 2010 at the start of my very first triathlon; I weighed over 200 pounds. The right side is me 60 pounds lighter, healthier inside and out. I overcame suicidal depression and self-injury through prayer and as a result of taking care of the inner me, the outer me followed suit. I can't even begin to describe the joy and peace I feel in my life after finding the courage to address my past. At 46 years old, I am an athlete that has a total knee replacement and that has overcome a painful past to become the healthiest I have ever been, inside and out. I now work with others to do the same.

The path was long and hard. The days were long and the nights were short. But I didn't let that stop me from becoming an airman in the United States Air Force.

To achieve the impossible, it is precisely the unthinkable that must be thought.

In Maaori, the native tongue of New Zealand, the word for values is 'pumanawa'. Pu = centre, core, cause, stump, heart, foundation. Manawa = heart. As you know, we all live out of our values, whether good or bad. Those that are contrary to being 'tika' or 'true', manifest through emotional pain and destructive behaviours. These values are sown into us at an early age and eventually bear fruit. The fruit tree is an excellent picture of this. As David Riddell (top counsellor and creator of the 'School of Living Wisdom') says, if we don't check the foundations, we cannot affect the repairs. Noho ora mai

Nothing can stop you from anything you want to do, providing your motives are pure, your goals are just, and, great or small, you give your all. If you believe it, you can achieve it.

You are never too old to achieve something. My mom is now 45 and she just went back to college to achieve it. You cannot be too old to achieve something like that. I hope you know. My mom taught me that one.

Why can't we all be respectful? Give encouragement to people who need it. Reach out to people who need a helping hand. Be a good citizen. Learn from mistakes, try to not make them again. But if you try everyday and night, you can make it happen. It takes a good person, with common courtesy for the rest of the world.
