I am a Proud Marine Veteran and right after my life on active duty everything changed. I came home only to find myself in a world different from what I remember leaving.   Life kept going and forgot about me. I tried to fit in the best I could only to find the walls strong as ever between my family and I and the only thing I could be sure of is working hard to try to support them the best I could.

I took all my pain from my past and stuffed it only now realizing that I really did a poor job of stuffing it and instead I dumped it on my family.  Little by little they all left and here I am sleeping in a basement wondering what happened. How did an easy-going guy like me lose the one thing that is important to me, my family.

Well I rationalized it saying they were to blame and didn’t understand me. I had a right to be angry! I had a right to be depressed! I had a right to just be left alone! That one totally came true.

Now getting older and the family is gone.
I find myself wondering what it was all for?

I see all the Vietnam Veterans getting to the age of retirement only to look up and see no one is there for them. Just the same as when they came home from Vietnam.  It occurred to me that everything I face in life seems to be the trend of the future. So now  the fear I have is all the men and women that may end up homeless with no one to turn too or worst yet in jail with no way out.

Here are Stats about PTSD that we have to change!

No Man Left Behind

One of the motto’s we had in the Marines was “No Man Left Behind!”and today I want this to be my way of bringing my comrades home. This is a place where together we can mend the wounds of the past and begin living again. This site is for the men and women that fought for this country in all the different services knowing you put your life on the line every time you wore your uniform.

Whats Next?

I’ll continue finding information, training, and anything else that will assist those of you that follow this site. I know during my travels of getting to this place of loving life and living my passion, there were so many times I wanted to give up and do myself in only to find that the world needs me, just as it needs the gifts within you that have not been sung yet. I’m singing my song in letting people know that there is help, and it is for them, and now I want you to find the song within you so together we can find your passion, your song in life that will make a difference.

If you notice this site is not like any other, I’m not writing to be SEO friendly, or making a pitch that you can’t refuse or making you a millionaire. I began years ago to be a “Me Too!” yet nothing seem to feel right, so now I am here to tell you as someone who has “Been There, Done That!” that living the challenges I have faced in life has been the best thing that happened to me. When you can see that your experiences have been the best thing that has happened to you, you’ll find that you are ready to bring your song out to share with the world.

Find out what would make your heart sing!

Our world needs you! I don’t know you yet but know that if you are reading this it is because you have a song within you that is trying to get out. That song could be for one person or millions, it really doesn’t matter cause it is about you not leaving this world with a song still in you. The only thing I ask right now is what is it that I could provide that would help you in being the best you this world has ever seen?

As a veteran you had to go through boot camp that stretched you to your limits and you made it. Do it again and stretch yourself into finding your passion and sharing it with anyone willing to listen. I think so many times we look at our lives and feel overwhelmed to the point we just give up. Believe me I have been there and I had given up many times, only to get back up again and try it again.

You can make a difference!

Four simple words could change the world. Growing up I had a wish that my Dad would have shared just one story with me of his life, instead I have to make them up. In looking back on my life, the only time he even acknowledged me as his son was the day I was leaving for the Marines. He grabbed hold of me and whispered in my ear, “I’m Proud of YOU!” That was the best day of my life! Before that I didn’t even know he knew I was alive.

It Changed My Entire Life!

I worked hard in boot camp and was promoted to PFC (E-2) working even harder during my service time to become a Sargent  (E-5) in record time. I excelled in every job I did my entire career, just because of those words a man whispered in my ear so many years ago. I know my life was different that day having someone who was proud of me. Is there someone in your life that needs that love from you?

What’s stopping you?

Our lives are made of many different stories and many different experiences and each of them has an impact on how we show up in life. War, Murder, Rape, Sexual Abuse or a list of so many different traumas that have shown up in our lives can and will change how we act in this life. This is the real reason in writing this I had them, I lived them, I had friends that didn’t come home, yet know that they were the things stopping me and assisting in my loss of family.

Knowing I am healing and finding the paths that can heal me and YOU will help us make a difference in this world, keep coming back and if you have questions ask away if I don’t have the answer I will find someone who does.
