Over the many years I have already lived, I have found that just about everyone has a story. Sadly, though, not everyone is willing to tell it to others. Often, having “been there, done that” can be very helpful and even appreciated by others. It can almost be like one beggar telling another one where to find food. It would be such a shame to neglect to share gained knowledge with others who would benefit from knowing about my failures and victories in life. So, in this little book, I intend to reveal some instances of my “been there, done that” in the hope of helping someone who needs to know my story.
