PEOPLE

The people I've met and the stories they've told.

As the full-time Life Bridge Mentoring - Central Vermont Area Dir. (www.lifebridgementoring.org; www.LBCentralVT.blogspot.com, www.Twitter.com/LBCentralVT), I have witnessed compelling people. 

Being abandoned, adopted, rejected, accepted ... I've journeyed from Seoul, South Korea to Yakima, WA to Waterbury Center, VT to Grenada, New Brunswick, Canada, Ukraine, Pagosa Springs, CO, Mexico and back to New England ... the near 37 years I've lived provide perspective.

This one-in-a-million part-time job at WDeV is an amazing opportunity for me to express the incredible good fortune that is available for those who live by Faith and seek to pay it forward.

My sports rant and talk show is especially committed this 2012 to present the mystery, secret, wonder, what if, maybe and hope that we all desire.

Keep the Faith.
Believe.
