They still had family grudges going on or arguments.

And now it was too late.

They were

or people were working too much and didn't spend enough time with their families or whatever.

And I remember spending a lot of time with a lot of people at their final stages and thinking, I am not going to live my life like this.

I am not going to get to the end and be filled with regrets.

I am going to live.

Lo and behold, I have kept true to my word that I have done like you, like you say, changed my environment, changed my experiences.

People say, oh, you're so lucky.

I'm like, no, I'm not.

I create my opportunities.

I put myself in a position where, hey, this can happen and this can happen and this can happen.

I don't just sit on the couch waiting for, you know, God to save me.

I go out and I do God's work.

listening, keeping myself open enough to be that vehicle so that I can follow through to go where I need to be.

And it has changed drastically, not only my life, but the lives of everyone that I encounter.

And so thank you for everything that you've done because it's exactly, I think, you're like the epitome of hope.

Right, right.

You know, I have a very dysfunctional family.

And when I had a nervous breakdown at the age of 40 from nursing, from not taking care of myself and taking care of everybody else and just all this stuff, all this crap that I had that I never dealt with.
